Determinants of blood oxygenation during pregnancy in Andean and Europeas residents of high altitude
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007-07-02)
High altitude decreases birth weight,
but this effect is diminished in long vs. short-resident, high-altitude
populations. We asked whether women from long vs. short-resident,
high-altitude populations had higher arterial ...
Chronic mountain sickness, optimal hemoglobin and heart disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2006-06)
Abstract.
For the male inhabitants of La Paz, Bolivia
(3200–4100 m), and other high altitude regions in America and Asia, chronic mountain sickness
(CMS) is a major health problem. Since CMS was first described by Carlos ...
Commentary on the consensus statement being prepared for the 6th World Congress on Mountain Medicine, Xining 2004
(Journal of Qinghai Medical College, 2005)
In, conclusion, while I agree that it is important to have a valid, cross - cultural scoring system that permits diagnosis of CMS in much the same way as does the Lake Louise system devised for AMS in the 1990s, I do not ...
Inhibition of peroxisome proliferator gamma (PPARɣ) : a potential link between chronic maternal hypoxia and impaired fetal growth
(Journal of Women's Health, 2013)
Background and Objective: Chronic maternal hypoxia impairs
fetal growth and increases the incidence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). To identify the mechanisms underlying these hypoxia-related effects, we evaluated ...
Pulmonary nitric oxide in mountain dwellers
(NATURE, 2001-11-22)
Nitric oxide is synthesized in the lungs to help regulate blood flow, and its levels have been found to drop in
species native to low altitudes, including
humans, upon acute exposure to reduced
oxygen concentration1–3. ...
Uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in high-altitude aymara women
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
Background.
Birth weight falls with increasing altitude as the result of
intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) likely due, in turn, to lower uterine artery (UtA) blood flow. The altitude-associated birth weight decline
is ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 M) residents in the absence of lung disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-04-18)
Objective: Chronic Mountain Sickness occurs in , 8% of the La Paz
population. We asked whether its primary diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP), occurred in youngeraged persons
without lung disease. Methods: ...
Developmental components of resting ventilation among high - and low-altitude andean children and adults
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1999)
ABSTRACT.
This paper evaluates the age-associated changes of resting
ventilation of 115 high- and low-altitude Aymara subjects, of whom 61 were
from the rural Aymara village of Ventilla situated at an average altitude ...
High-altitude ancestry protects against IUGR and reductions in birth weight associated with high altitude and preeclampsia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background.
Observations consistently demonstrate diminished birth weight [BW] with ascending altitude;
however population comparisons reveal the extent of BW
reduction depends, in part, upon high-altitude ancestry.

Protective effect of female sex hormones against pulmonary hypertension in Bolivian high altitude natives
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
There is abundant evidence that female sex hormones have protective effects in the systemic circulation in both animals and humans,
but little is known regarding their role in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation. ...
