Acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH) exposure causes altitude mountain sickness (AMS) and life-
threatening high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). Despite decades of research, the role of …

Mental disorders show a prevalence of 30%–40% in the general population (Steel et al.,
2014), and neurological symptoms such as headache or dizziness are among the most …

Background Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a cluster of symptoms that commonly occur
in those ascending to high altitudes. Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, insomnia …

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

The diagnosis, treatment and prevention of high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) are fairly
well established. The major unresolved issues are 1) the pathophysiology, 2) the individual …

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

Symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS) may appear above 2,500 m altitude, if the time
allowed for acclimatization is insufficient. As the mechanisms underlying brain adaptation to …

With the increasing of altitude activities from low-altitude people, the study of high altitude
cerebral edema (HACE) has been revived. HACE is a severe acute mountain sickness …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? The long‐held assumption that transcranial
Doppler middle cerebral artery velocity is a surrogate for cerebral blood flow has been …

Hypoxia plays a key role in the pathogenesis of acute mountain sickness (AMS), but
individual susceptibility is variable and cerebral symptoms do not always correlate with …
