Short-term high-altitude pre-exposure improves neurobehavioral ability
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the duration of high-altitude (HA) pre-exposure on human neurobehavioral parameters including mood states and cognitive performance at HA. One hundred and eleven healthy individuals (ranging in age from 18 to 35 years) were recruited to participate in this study. They were divided into two groups: a 4-day short-term HA pre-exposure group (n=57) and a 3-...
متن کاملAugmented sympathetic activation during short-term hypoxia and high-altitude exposure in subjects susceptible to high-altitude pulmonary edema.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of high-altitude pulmonary edema and may contribute to its pathogenesis. Cardiovascular adjustments to hypoxia are mediated, at least in part, by the sympathetic nervous system, and sympathetic activation promotes pulmonary vasoconstriction and alveolar fluid flooding in experimental animals. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured sympathetic nerve act...
متن کاملAcute ischaemic stroke during short-term travel to high altitude.
This is a case report of a young healthy adult who had acute cerebral infarcts after a short-term visit to high-altitude area. He developed acute onset of right-sided limb weakness and right hemianopia a few hours after arrival at an altitude of 3600 m by train. He was initially treated for high-altitude cerebral oedema but later computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed isch...
متن کاملInfluence of short term and long-term sickness absence on work ability index
Background: Sickness absence is a major socio-economic problem imposing a huge amount of cost to societies.This issue has been widely concerned over the last few years. Absence from work entails complex conditions and multifactorial etiology. According to previous studies, there are various occupational and personal factors contributing to the incidence of sickness absence. Long-term sickness ...
متن کاملPupillary 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 (...
