issue as improvements in transportation,“environmental tourism,” and resource development …

Objectives Elevated optic nerve sheath diameter on sonography is known to correlate with
increased intracranial pressure and is observed in acute mountain sickness. This study …

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

Hyponatremia with cerebral symptoms is a medical emergency in which treatment delay
may prove fatal. However, controversy prevails over which treatment is the best. This paper …

Acute cerebral hypoxia causes rapid calcium shifts leading to neuronal damage and death.
Calcium channel antagonists improve outcomes in some clinical conditions, but …

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a sensitive indicator of cerebral
hypoxia. We investigated if apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and transverse relaxation …

Although high‐altitude exposure can lead to neurocognitive impairment, even upon return to
sea level, it remains unclear the extent to which brain volume and regional cerebral vascular …

The present study assessed the isolated and synergetic effects of hypoxic exposure and
