High birth weights in prewar Faroe Islands.
Birth weights in the Faroe Islands are among the highest in the world. During the 1980s, infants born there had 200 grams higher mean birth weight than their Danish peers. Half of this diVerence could be attributed to a longer gestation (four days on average), half to a higher fetal growth rate. A high intake of seafood has been suggested to be a possible cause of this pattern. The findings of ...
متن کاملHigh liveborn birth weights in the Faroes: a comparison between birth weights in the Faroes and in Denmark.
The average birth weight of 10 132 liveborn infants delivered in the Faroes during the period 1969-81 was 3610 grams, which is the highest average weight reported by 33 countries from which we were able to obtain information. Comparison of live births only between the Faroes and Denmark shows a displacement between their birth weight curves of 225 grams. A less active elective delivery in the F...
متن کاملTheophylline and acetazolamide reduce sleep-disordered breathing at high altitude.
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effects of theophylline and acetazolamide in the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) after fast ascent to high altitude (3,454 m). The study was conducted at a high-altitude research laboratory and included 30 healthy male volunteers. Study medication was either oral slow release theophylline (2x250 mg ...
متن کامل' Adaptation to High Altitude
Hypoxia is inconsequential for physiologically fit persons below an effective altitude of 2640 metres. At higher altitudes, the adaptation is brought about by four main factors, viz., hyperventilation, increased diffusion of oxygen across alveolar membrane, erythrocythemia and maintenance of body hydration. Carbon dioxide sensitivity is markedly elevated at high altitude, both in sojourners and...
متن کاملIncreased lung vasoreactivity in children from Leadville, Colorado, after recovery from high-altitude pulmonary edema.
Cardiac catheterization was performed on seven children after recovery from high-altitude pulmonary edema. All were life-long residents at elevations above 10,000 feet. Three of the seven had developed pulmonary edema without antecedent travel to low altitude but had an upper respiratory infection. Response of pulmonary arterial pressure to 16% inspired oxygen in all seven was compared with tha...
