BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute mountain sickness is a series of brain-centered
symptoms that occur when rapidly ascending to high altitude. Predicting acute mountain …

Objective: Headache and memory impairment are the primary clinical symptoms of chronic
mountain sickness (CMS). In this study, we used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and the …

Importance Acute mountain sickness (AMS) affects more than 25% of individuals ascending
to 3500 m (11 500 ft) and more than 50% of those above 6000 m (19 700 ft). AMS may …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common condition among non-acclimatized individuals
ascending to high altitude. However, the underlying mechanisms causing the symptoms of …

Objective: Hypoxic exposure in healthy subjects can induce acute mountain sickness
including headache, lethargy, cerebral dysfunction, and substantial cerebral structural …

Objective We aim to investigate the role of sea-level cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the
prediction of acute mountain sickness (AMS) by using three-dimensional pseudo-continuous …

As high altitude travel increases, acute mountain sickness (AMS) and life threatening high
altitude cerebral oedema (HACE) are becoming more prevalent. Acute mountain sickness …

Background: In human beings exposed to high altitude, cerebral magnetic resonance
imaging (cMRI) revealed alterations ranging from subclinical cerebral edema formation to …

Objective We aimed to describe the heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of acute
mountain sickness (AMS) and to identify its primary risk factors. Methods The participants …
