Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a sensitive indicator of cerebral
hypoxia. We investigated if apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and transverse relaxation …

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 …

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 …

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

Individuals susceptible to high altitude pulmonary edema show altered pulmonary vascular
responses within minutes of exposure to hypoxia. We hypothesized that a similar acute …

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

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common condition among non-acclimatized individuals
ascending to high altitude. However, the underlying mechanisms causing the symptoms of …

Objective: Hypoxic exposure in healthy subjects can induce acute mountain sickness
including headache, lethargy, cerebral dysfunction, and substantial cerebral structural …

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 …

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