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

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

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

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 …

Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) were measured using the radioactive xenon
technique and were related to the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS). In 12 …

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

The present study assessed the isolated and synergetic effects of hypoxic exposure and
prolonged exercise on cerebral volume and subedema and symptoms of acute mountain …

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