متن کاملIncidence and predictors of acute mountain sickness among trekkers on Mount Kilimanjaro.
We investigated the incidence of AMS amongst a general population of trekkers on Mount Kilimanjaro, using the Lake Louise consensus scoring system (LLS). Additionally we examined the effect of prophylactic acetazolamide and different ascent profiles. Climbers on 3 different ascent itineraries were recruited. At 2743 m we recruited 177 participants (mean age 31, range [18-71]) who completed LLS ...
متن کاملSweat rate and prediction validation during high-altitude treks on Mount Kilimanjaro.
This study measured sweat rates (m(sw)) during high-altitude summer treks on Mt. Kilimanjaro to evaluate the efficacy of a recently developed fuzzy piecewise sweat prediction equation (Pw,sol) for application to high-altitude conditions. We hypothesized that the Pw,sol equation, adjusted for the barometric pressure (Pb) decreasing steadily at high altitude (Pw,sol+Alt), would allow for a more a...
متن کاملVertical and Horizontal Vegetation Structure across Natural and Modified Habitat Types at Mount Kilimanjaro
In most habitats, vegetation provides the main structure of the environment. This complexity can facilitate biodiversity and ecosystem services. Therefore, measures of vegetation structure can serve as indicators in ecosystem management. However, many structural measures are laborious and require expert knowledge. Here, we used consistent and convenient measures to assess vegetation structure o...
متن کاملDiversity and distribution of rodent and shrew species associated with variations in altitude on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
A total of 750 rodents and shrews were trapped in several sites on Mount (Mt.) Kilimanjaro and in two lowland sites between October 2002 and August 2003. Species diversity variations with altitude and their distribution were established. Diversity of species varied with vegetation type, being highest in the forest and lowest in the lowland areas. The distribution patterns and species diversity ...
