Intraocular Pressure During Acute Exposure to High Altitude

Intraocular pressure during a very high altitude climb.

PURPOSE Reports on intraocular pressure (IOP) changes at high altitudes have provided inconsistent and even conflicting RESULTS The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of very high altitude and different ascent profiles on IOP in relation to simultaneously occurring ophthalmic and systemic changes in a prospective study. METHODS This prospective study involved 25 healthy mou...

consequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir

there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...

Pupillary Light Reaction during High Altitude Exposure

PURPOSE This study aimed to quantify the pupillary light reaction during high altitude exposure using the state of the art Compact Integrated Pupillograph (CIP) and to investigate a potential correlation of altered pupil reaction with severity of acute mountain sickness (AMS). This work is related to the Tübingen High Altitude Ophthalmology (THAO) study. METHODS Parameters of pupil dynamics (...

Structural and Functional Changes of the Human Macula during Acute Exposure to High Altitude

BACKGROUND This study aimed to quantify structural and functional changes at the macula during acute exposure to high altitude and to assess their structure/function relationship. This work is related to the Tuebingen High Altitude Ophthalmology (THAO) study. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Spectral domain optical coherence tomography and microperimetry were used to quantify changes of central...
