Evaluación participativa del cambio climático y la variabilidad del clima en las ciudades ubicadas en ecosistemas de montaña
(Organización Panamericana de la Salud, 2013)
Los efectos del cambio climático comenzaron a ser evidentes desde la década de 1990, cuando se estima que menos del 50% de la población vivía en las ciudades. En un futuro próximo más del 60% de la población mundial vivirá ...
Sleep-disordered breathing and oxidative stress in preclinical chronic mountain sickness (excessive erythrocytosis)
(Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2013-01-22)
Abstract.
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is considered to be a loss of ventilatory acclimatization to high
altitude (>2500 m) resulting in marked arterial hypoxemia and polycythemia. This case-control
study explores ...
The sleep of elite athletes at sea level and high altitude : a comparison of sea-level natives and high-altitude natives (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-03)
Abstract.
Background: Altitude exposure causes acute sleep
disruption in non-athletes, but little is known about its
effects in elite athletes. The aim of this study was to
examine the effects of altitude on two groups ...
Disfunción ventricular derecha en altitud. Estudio preliminar descriptivo
(Neumol Cir Torax, 2013-01)
The impact of altitude on the sleep of young elite soccer players (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-01-28)
Abstract.
Background: Altitude training is used by elite athletes
to improve sports performance, but it may also disrupt
sleep. The aim of this study was to examine the effects
of 2 weeks at high altitude on the sleep ...
Graduated effects of high-altitude hypoxia and highland ancestry on birth size
(Pediatric Research, 2013-10-02)
Background: We present a cohort of ca. 25,000 birth
records from Bolivia of men and women who are currently
adults. We used this cohort to test the hypothesis that high
altitude reduces birth weight and that highland ...
High altitude hypoxia and blood pressure dysregulation in adult chickens
(Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, 2013)
Although it is accepted that impaired placental perfusion in complicated pregnancy can slow fetal growth and programme an increased risk of cardiovascular dysfunction at adulthood, the relative contribution of reductions ...
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 ...
RV contractility and exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension in chronic mountain sickness : a stress echocardiographic and tissue doppler imaging study
(ELSEVIER, 2013-12)
Objectives.
The aim of this study was to evaluate right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular function
and pulmonary circulation in chronic mountain sickness (CMS) patients with rest and stress echocardiography compared ...
Wellness, fatigue and physical performance acclimatisation to a 2-week soccer camp at 3600 m (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-10)
Abstract.
Objectives: To examine the time course of wellness, fatigue and performance during an altitude training camp (La Paz, 3600 m) in two groups of either sea-level (Australian) or altitude (Bolivian) native young ...
