Background The correlation between brain injury and high-altitude (HA) exposure duration
(Dur_HA) as well as peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) remains unclear. Purpose To …

Purpose We aimed at identifying the cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute
mountain sickness (AMS). Methods Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography examinations …

In a randomized, double-blind cross-over study 10 subjects were exposed to a simulated
altitude of 4500 m for 10 h after administration of placebo, acetozolamide (250 mg bid) or …

Background: Trekkers in high altitude of Himalayas could lead to Acute Mountain Sickness
and High Altitude Cerebral Edema. This study was conducted to evaluate magnetic …

This study investigated the changes in cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) signals,
cerebrovascular and ventilatory responses to hypoxia and CO2 during altitude exposure. At …

Soldiers who work in extremes of altitude are at risk for medical disorders resulting from the
altered physiology and environment. Cerebral oedema and pulmonary oedema are the two …

We applied a novel MR imaging technique to investigate the effect of acute mountain
sickness on cerebral tissue water. Nine volunteers were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia …

Introduction Atypical presentations of high altitude cerebral edema may have a stuttering
course that can be similar to more common and benign pathology at a lower altitude than …

Mild‑to‑moderate closed‑head injury (mmCHI) is an acute disease induced by high‑altitudes.
It is general practice to transfer patients to lower altitudes for treatment, but the …
