Acute mountain sickness is a common discomfort experienced by unacclimatized persons
on ascent to high altitude. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to high altitude affects …

Introduction We hypothesized that cerebral alterations in edema, perfusion, and/or
intracranial pressure (ICP) are related to the development of acute mountain sickness …

Symptoms of high altitude sickness including headache and neuropsychological dysfunction
are thought to result from prolonged exposure to hypoxia. In order to explain how the brain …

Cerebral autoregulation (CA) acts to maintain brain blood flow despite fluctuations in
perfusion pressure. Acute hypoxia is thought to impair CA, but it is unclear if CA is affected …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) can occur during climbs to high altitudes and may seriously
disturb the behavioral and intellectual capacities of susceptible subjects. During a …

Traditionally, scientists and clinicians have explored peripheral physiological responses to
acute hypoxia to explain the pathophysiological processes that lead to acute mountain …

Cerebral syndromes related to high-altitude exposure are becoming more frequent as the
number of trips to high altitudes has increased in the last decade. The commonest symptom …

This case report describes three separate episodes of isolated ataxia, hallucinations of
being accompanied by another person, and bilateral dressing apraxia occurring in a single …

In order to describe how high altitude affects the body during a one night stay at 4000m
