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 ...
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 ...
Evidence for extraplacental sources of circulating angiogenic growth effectors in human pregnancy
(Placenta, 2013-08-24)
Abastract.
Pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are
associated with reduced blood flow, contributing to placental and fetal hypoxia. Placental hypoxia is
thought ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Predicting sickness during a 2-week soccer camp at 3600 m (ISA 3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-08-23)
Abstract.
Objectives. To examine the time course of changes in
wellness and health status markers before and after
episodes of sickness in young soccer players during a
high-altitude training camp (La Paz, 3600 ...
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 ...
Changes in blood gas transport of altitude native soccer players near sea-level and sea-level native soccer players at altitude (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-03)
Abstract.
Objectives The optimal strategy for soccer teams
playing at altitude is not known, that is, ‘fly-in, fly-out’
versus short-term acclimatisation. Here, we document
changes in blood gas and vascular volumes of ...
Andean and Tibetan patterns of adaptation to high altitude
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2013-01-24)
Objectives: High-altitude hypoxia, or decreased oxygen levels caused by low barometric pressure, challenges the
ability of humans to live and reproduce. Despite these challenges, human populations have lived on the Andean ...
