Background and objectives Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a pathology with different
symptoms in which the organism is not adapted to the environment that occurs under the …

Objective The high-altitude hypoxia environment will cause poor acclimatization in a portion
of the population. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been demonstrated to …

Background: Both hypoxia exposure and physical exercise before ascending have been
proved to promote high altitude acclimatization, whether the combination of these two …

Background Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is the most prevalent condition resulting from
hypobaric hypoxia (HH) at high altitudes. Although evidence suggests the involvement of …

Introduction: High altitude regions are characterized by harsh conditions (environmental,
rough terrain, natural hazards, and limited hygiene and health care), which all may …

Background The diagnosis and evaluation of the severity of acute mountain sickness (AMS)
continue to be problematic due to a lack of consensus on the inclusion of symptoms in a …

Objective To develop the first prediction model based on the common clinical symptoms of
high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), enabling early identification and an easy-to …

Objective Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common clinical syndrome in high altitude
areas, but the role of demographic factors in AMS has not been well-illucidated. This study …

Lack of sufficient acclimatization to high altitude (and the associated hypoxia) is the primary
cause for the development of high-altitude illnesses, that is, acute mountain sickness and life …
