Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels at adulthood are determined by neonatal hypoxic exposure in rats living at high altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: In previous work performed at sea level we
reported that exposure to neonatal hypoxia impairs ventilatory and hematological responses to chronic hypoxia later in
life. These findings supported the hypothesis ...
Erythropoietin (EPO) in human milk : potential enteral factor in high altitude hypoxia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: Erythropoietin (Epo) is a normal constituent of
human milk. At sea level, it was found that mean milk-borne
Epo concentrations are within the normal range for plasma
Epo concentrations and rise with ...
Autosomal and X chromosome alu insertions in Bolivian aymaras and quechuas : two languages and one genetic pool
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2010)
Abstract.
Thirty-two polymorphic Alu insertions (18 autosomal and 14 from the X chromosome) were studied in
192 individuals from two Amerindian populations of the Bolivian Altiplano (Aymara and Quechua speakers: the two ...
Do anti-angiogenic or angiogenic factors contribute to the protection of birth weight at high altitude afforded by andean ancestry?
(Reprod Sci., 2010-09)
Abstract.
Objective: This prospective study was designed to determine whether variation in angiogenic
(placental growth factor [PlGF]) and/or anti-angiogenic (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase [sFlt-1])
factors contribute ...
Pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction in young offspring of mothers with preeclampsia
(Circulation, 2010-07-19)
Background—Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The underlying mechanisms are unknown. During preeclampsia, vasculotoxic factors are released into the maternal circulation by the ...
Hypoglycemia and the origin of hypoxia-induced reduction in human fetal growth
(PLOS One, 2010-01)
Abtract.
Background: The most well known reproductive consequence of residence at high altitude (HA .2700 m) is reduction in
fetal growth. Reduced fetoplacental oxygenation is an underlying cause of pregnancy pathologies, ...
The role of perinatal hypoxia in the development of preclinical CMS
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Maternal and fetoplacental hypoxia do not alter circulating angiogenic growth factors : the emperor's got no clothes?
(The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010)
ABSTRACT.
Context: Placental hypoxia alters production of angiogenic growth factors (AGFs), thought to be
causally involved in the development of the pregnancy-specific disease preeclampsia (PE).
Consistent with this, ...
Exaggerated pulmonary hypertension during mild exercise in chronic mountain sickness
(CHEST, 2010-02)
Background: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is an important public health problem and is characterized by exaggerated hypoxemia, erythrocytosis, and pulmonary hypertension. While pulmonary hypertension is a leading cause ...
Desempeño del personal de enfermeria frente a complicaciones agudas en las Unidades de Hemodialisis de tres Centros Hospitalarios La Paz, 2004
(2010-09-11)
Las técnicas sustitutivas de las funciones renales han experimentado un tremendo progreso que han transformado de un procedimiento experimental, lleno de riesgos en un medio terapéutico de evidente eficacia y suficiente ...
