New Findings What is the central question of this study? The pathophysiology of acute
mountain sickness (AMS), involving the respiratory, renal and cerebrovascular systems …

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 …

This study was aimed at evaluating a potential association between blood pressure variation
and acute mountain sickness (AMS) during acute exposure to normobaric hypoxia. A total of …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a syndrome of headache, anorexia, nausea and fatigue,
which commonly occurs with rapid ascent to high altitudes. The pathogenesis of AMS …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common condition occurring within hours of rapid

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

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