چکیده
CHIODI, HUGO. Aging and high-altitude polycythemia. J. Appl. Physiol.: Respirat. Environ. Exercise Physiol. 45(6): 1019-1020, 1978. No correlation was found between hemoglobin, hematocrit, or red blood cells and age in 42 healthy mixed Indians living at 4,515 m above sea level. The discrepancy of our results with those of Whittembury and Monge in similar conditions and altitude is discussed and the need for further studies emphasized.

Chronic Mountain Sickness (Cms) Misdiagnosed As High Altitude Cerebral Edema (Hace) At Extreme Altitude (6400 M/21000 Ft)
Introduction: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) represents a syndrome of secondary polycythemia along with thrombocytopenia, altered hemorheology, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, and congestive heart failure, occurring due to hypobaric hypoxia-anoxia-induced erythropoiesis reported in both native mountain residents and new climbers after prolonged stays at high and extreme a...
متن کاملEffect of altitude and cobalt polycythemia, hypoxia, and cortisone on susceptibility of rats to endocarditis.
Rats with polycythemia induced by exposures to simulated high altitudes developed a significantly higher incidence of endocarditis following intravenous bacterial injections than rats with cobalt polycythemia or ground level controls. No increase occurred in altitude rats when polycythemia was prevented by repeated bleedings. These findings suggest that both polycythemia and hypoxia are necessa...
