Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a neurological disorder that typically affects mountaineers
who ascend to high altitude. The symptoms have traditionally been ascribed to intracranial …

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

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

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 …

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 …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) are essentially
neurological disorders. The five symptoms included in the Lake Louise AMS symptom score …

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 …

Rapid ascent to high altitude commonly results in acute mountain sickness, and on occasion
potentially fatal high-altitude cerebral edema. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms …

The present study combined molecular and neuroimaging techniques to examine if free
radical-mediated damage to barrier function in hypoxia would result in extracellular edema …

High altitude illness in its most severe form can lead to high altitude cerebral edema
(HACE). Current strategies have focused on prevention with graduated ascents …
