High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and acute mountain sickness (AMS) are
neuropathologies associated with rapid exposure to hypoxia. However, speculation remains …

Acute moderate intensity exercise has been shown to improve cognitive performance. In
contrast, hypoxia is believed to impair cognitive performance. The detrimental effects of …

Background High altitude illness (HAI) is a term used to describe a group of cerebral and
pulmonary syndromes that can occur during travel to elevations above 2500 metres (8200 …

Background Systemic inflammation, neurocognitive impairments, and morphologic brain
changes are associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Understanding their …

high altitude cerebral edema including recent work on eye. High Alt Med Biol. 15: 112–122 …

Following prolonged exposure to hypoxic conditions, for example, due to ascent to high
altitude, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema can develop. The exact nature and …

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

Most hypobaric hypoxia studies have focused on oxygen delivery and therefore cerebral
blood inflow. Few have studied venous outflow. However, the volume of blood entering and …
