Acute mountain sickness is common among not acclimatized persons ascending to high
altitude; the underlying mechanism is unknown, but may be related to cerebral edema. Nine …

The present study applied T2-and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to
examine if mild cerebral edema and subsequent brain swelling are implicated in the …

Objective The study was undertaken to determine whether normobaric hypoxia causes
elevated brain volume and intracranial pressure in individuals with symptoms consistent …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) and high-altitude cerebral edema share common clinical
characteristics, suggesting cerebral swelling may be an important factor in the …

Individuals susceptible to high altitude pulmonary edema show altered pulmonary vascular
responses within minutes of exposure to hypoxia. We hypothesized that a similar acute …

Rapid ascent to high altitude commonly results in acute mountain sickness, and on occasion
potentially fatal high-altitude cerebral edema. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms …

Context.—Because of its onset in generally remote environments, high-altitude cerebral
edema (HACE) has received little scientific attention. Understanding the pathophysiology …

High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and acute mountain sickness (AMS) are
neuropathologies associated with rapid exposure to hypoxia. However, speculation remains …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common condition occurring within hours of rapid
exposure to high altitude. Despite its frequent occurrence, the pathophysiological …

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a sensitive indicator of cerebral
hypoxia. We investigated if apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and transverse relaxation …
