Hypoxia-related mechanisms inducing acute mountain sickness and migraine [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Experimental models of human diseases are vital for pathophysiological and therapeutic research. To investigate the initiation, maintenance, pathophysiology and even termination of a migraine/headache attack these models are urgently needed. Results from

Prediction of the development and susceptibility to acute mountain sickness (AMS) by monitoring oxygen saturation (SpO2) – literature review

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2020
The hypoxia is the main cause of altitude sickness, that usually starts from the benign form - acute mountain sickness (AMS), that being untreated can progress to the life-threatening states, like high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high altitude ...

Neurofilament Light Chain Is Associated With Acute Mountain Sickness [PDF]

Brain and Behavior
Background Neurological symptoms are common in acute mountain sickness (AMS); however, the extent of neuroaxonal damage remains unclear. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is an established blood biomarker for neuroaxonal damage.

Acute mountain sickness predicts the emotional state of amateur mountaineers [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Research on amateur mountaineers is scarce, and this study aims to delve into the emotional experiences of ten amateur mountaineers during their ascent using the "Befindlichkeitsskala" (BFS) and Lake Louise Acute Mountain Sickness scoring system (LLS ...
