Role of remote ischemic preconditioning against acute mountain sickness during early phase
We read the article titled “Remote ischemic preconditioning delays the onset of acute mountain sickness in normobaric hypoxia” with great interest (Berger et al. 2015). The authors have concluded that remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) of 45 min before exposure to normobaric hypoxia transiently reduces symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS) and this effect is not associated with reduced ...
متن کاملInvestigating the role of acute and repeated stress on remote ischemic preconditioning-induced cardioprotection
Objective(s): To study the effect of acute and repeated stress on cardioprotection-induced by remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC).Materials and Methods: RIPC was induced by giving 4 short cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, each consisting of five min. The Langendorff’s apparatus was used to perfuse the isolated rat hearts by subjecti...
متن کاملRemote ischemic preconditioning for prevention of high-altitude diseases: fact or fiction?
Preconditioning refers to exposure to brief episodes of potentially adverse stimuli and protects against injury during subsequent exposures. This was first described in the heart, where episodes of ischemia/reperfusion render the myocardium resistant to subsequent ischemic injury, which is likely caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and proinflammatory processes. Protection of the heart was ...
متن کاملLiver ischemia preconditions the heart against ischemia-reperfusion arrhythmias
Objective(s):This study aimed to examine the hypothesis that an antiarrhythmic effect might be obtained by ischemic preconditioning of the liver, and also to characterize the potential underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were anesthetized by thiopental sodium (50 mg/kg, IP) followed by IV injection of heparin (250 IU). Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) was induce...
متن کاملAcute mountain sickness amongst tourists to Lhasa
Acute mountain sickness is the commonest acute high altitude illness occurring at high altitude. Its prevalence is dependent on the ascent rate, altitude achieved, physical effort required to reach the target altitude and pharmacological intervention undertaken by the tourists visiting high altitude areas. This Letter to the Editor is an endeavour to re-emphasise the importance of all these fac...
