Rhodiola crenulata extract for prevention of acute mountain sickness: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial
BACKGROUND Rhodiola crenulata (R. crenulata) is widely used to prevent acute mountain sickness in the Himalayan areas and in Tibet, but no scientific studies have previously examined its effectiveness. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study to investigate its efficacy in acute mountain sickness prevention. METHODS Healthy adult volunteers were randomized t...

متن کاملAdjunctive Treatment with Rhodiola Crenulata in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – A Randomized Placebo Controlled Double Blind Clinical Trial
UNLABELLED Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a low grade systemic inflammatory disease characterized by dyspnea and exercise intolerance even under standard therapy.

متن کاملIntravenous iron supplementation may protect against acute mountain sickness: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common and disabling condition that occurs in healthy individuals ascending to high altitude. Based on the ability of iron to influence cellular oxygen sensing pathways, we hypothesized that iron supplementation would protect against AMS. To examine this hypothesis, 24 healthy sea-level residents were randomized to receive either intravenous iron(III)-hydroxid...
متن کاملA Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Results: The cumulative number of gadoliniumenhancing MRI lesions during the first 6 months were similar in the -3 fatty acids and placebo groups (median difference, 1; 95% CI, 0 to 3; P=.09). No difference in relapse rate was detected after 6 (median difference, 0; 95% CI, 0 to 0; P=.54) or 24 (median difference, 0; 95% CI, 0 to 0; P=.72) months. The proportion of patients without disability p...
