      Stuber, Thomas; Sartori, Claudio; Schwab, Marcos; Jayet, Pierre-Yves; Rimoldi, Stefano F; Garcin, Sophie; Thalmann, Sébastien; Spielvogel, Hilde; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Villena, Mercedes; Scherrer, Urs; Allemann, Yves (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 ...
    • Pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction in young offspring of mothers with preeclampsia 

      Jayet, Pierre-Yves; Rimoldi, Stefano F; Stuber, Thomas; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Hutter, Damian; Rexhaj, Emrush; Thalmann, Sébastien; Schwab, Marcos; Turini, Pierre; Sartori-Cucchia, Céline; Nicod, Pascal; Villena, Mercedes; Allemann, Yves; Scherrer, Urs; Sartori, Claudio (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 ...
    • Pulmonary-artery pressure and exhaled nitric oxide in Bolivian and caucasian high altitude dwellers 

      Schwab, Marcos; Jayet, Pierre-Yves; Stuber, Thomas; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Bloch, Jonathan; Spielvogel, Hilde; Villena, Mercedes; Allemann, Yves; Sartori, Claudio; Scherrer, Urs (High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2008)
      Abstract. There is evidence that high altitude populations may be better protected from hypoxic pulmonary hypertension than low altitude natives, but the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. In Tibetans, ...
    • Respiratory nitric oxide and pulmonary artery pressure in children of aymara and european ancestry at high altitude* 

      Stuber, Thomas; Sartori, Claudio; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Hutter, Damian; Thalmann, Sébastien; Turini, Pierre; Jayet, Pierre-Yves; Schwab, Marcos; Sartori-Cucchia, Céline; Villena, Mercedes; Scherrer, Urs; Allemann, Yves (CHEST, 2008-11-07)
      Invasive studies suggest that healthy children living at high altitude display pulmonary hypertension, but the data to support this assumption are sparse. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by the respiratory epithelium regulates ...
    • Response to letters regarding article, "Pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction in young offspring of mothers with preeclampsia" 

      Rimoldi, Stefano F; Jayet, Pierre-Yves; Rexhaj, Emrush; Thalmann, Sébastien; Schwab, Marcos; Turini, Pierre; Sartori-Cucchia, Céline; Nicod, Pascal; Scherrer, Urs; Sartori, Claudio; Hutter, Damian; Stuber, Thomas; Allemann, Yves; Salinas Salmón, Carlos E; Villena, Mercedes (Circulation, 2011)
      We thank Lazdam et al and Yuan et al for their interesting comments on our study.1 Lazdam et al point out that in our study, birth weight in offspring of mothers with preeclampsia was significantly lower than in controls, ...
