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

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) and high-altitude cerebral edema share common clinical
characteristics, suggesting cerebral swelling may be an important factor in the …

The pathophysiology of acute mountain sickness (AMS) is unknown. One hypothesis is that
hypoxia induces biochemical changes that disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and …

To evaluate the pathogenetic role of cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes occurring before
and during the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS), peak mean middle cerebral …

This review discusses the impact of recent publications on pathophysiologic concepts and
on practical aspects of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Magnetic resonance imaging …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common condition occurring within hours of rapid
exposure to high altitude. Despite its frequent occurrence, the pathophysiological …

Objective The study was undertaken to determine whether normobaric hypoxia causes
elevated brain volume and intracranial pressure in individuals with symptoms consistent …

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 present study assessed the isolated and synergetic effects of hypoxic exposure and
prolonged exercise on cerebral volume and subedema and symptoms of acute mountain …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) can occur during climbs to high altitudes and may seriously
disturb the behavioral and intellectual capacities of susceptible subjects. During a …
