متن کاملAqua jogging-induced pulmonary oedema.
The case study by WENGER and RUSSI [1], of pulmonary oedema occuring during aqua jogging, is interesting. Aqua jogging certainly lowers the burden to joints and tendons as compared with land running. Conversely, running or cycling at sustained intensity may lead to higher burden to lung tissue in water than on ground. In water, the exercising mechanical strain [2] is strengthened by congestion ...

Almost one mountain trekker or climber out of two develops several symptoms of high altitude illness after a rapid ascent (> 300 m/day) to an altitude above 4000 m. Individual susceptibility is the most important determinant for the occurrence of high altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE). Symptoms associated with HAPE are incapacitating fatigue, chest tightness, dyspnoea at the slightest effort, or...
