High altitude impairs nasal transepithelial sodium transport in HAPE-prone subjects.
High-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE) occurs in predisposed individuals at altitudes >2,500 m. Defective alveolar fluid clearance secondary to a constitutive impairment of the respiratory transepithelial sodium transport contributes to its pathogenesis. Hypoxia impairs the transepithelial sodium transport in alveolar epithelial type II cells in vitro. If this impairment is also present in vivo,...
متن کاملNasal mucociliary transport is impaired at altitude.
There have been a number of anecdotal reports of rhinitis and nasal obstruction occurring at altitude. To quantify these reports, we investigated nasal obstruction and mucociliary transport in a group of healthy volunteers trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp, Nepal, altitude 5,300 m. Nasal obstruction was estimated by subjective scoring and mucociliary transport was determined by the saccharin ...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Positive Fungal Cultures in Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis in a High Altitude Region of Iran
Introduction: There are suspended fungal spores in the air and in the nasal mucosa of adults, especially in areas with a humid climate. Several studies have revealed the role of fungi in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in recent years but it is a topic of controversy, especially in regions with low humidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of fungal specie...
متن کاملLong-Term Exposure to High Altitude Affects Conflict Control in the Conflict-Resolving Stage
The neurocognitive basis of the effect of long-term high altitude exposure on conflict control is unclear. Event related potentials (ERPs) were recorded in a flanker task to investigate the influence of high altitude on conflict control in the high-altitude group (who had lived at high altitude for three years but were born at low altitude) and the low-altitude group (living in low altitude onl...
متن کاملOxiracetam or fastigial nucleus stimulation reduces cognitive injury at high altitude
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is common in people travelling to high altitude. Oxiracetam and electrical stimulation of cerebellar fastigial nucleus may have beneficial impacts. This study was to investigate the effects of preconditioning with Oxiracetam or fastigial nucleus stimulation (FNS) on cognitive decline following the ascension to high altitude. METHODS The study was conducted on 6...
متن کاملEffect of sojourn at altitude of 3,500 m on auditory evoked potential in man.
Auditory evoked potentials were studied on 27 male subjects to evaluate the effect of sojourn at high altitude (HA). They were initially studied at Delhi (260 m) for their auditory evoked potentials and were then flown to an altitude of 3,500 m. During their stay at HA the same parameter was tested twice, once on the second day of arrival at HA and another on 21st day of stay. Then they were fl...
