Brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP levels reflect pulmonary artery systolic pressure in trekkers at high altitude. [PDF]

, 2013
Our objective was to evaluate the utility of the natriuretic peptides BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) and NT-proBNP as markers of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in trekkers ascending to high altitude (HA). 20 participants had BNP and NT-proBNP

Benzolamide improves oxygenation and reduces acute mountain sickness during a high-altitude trek and has fewer side effects than acetazolamide at sea level. [PDF]

, 2017
Acetazolamide is the standard carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor used for acute mountain sickness (AMS), however some of its undesirable effects are related to intracellular penetrance into many tissues, including across the blood-brain barrier ...

Abstract Do discriminatory attitudes held in the public influence public institutions? We study this question within the context of the criminal justice system of historical British Columbia (BC). During the late 1870s and early 1880s, an influx of Chinese immigrant workers employed in the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was the catalyst

[Acute mountain sickness].

Anales de medicina interna (Madrid, Spain : 1984), 1991
Acute mountain sickness is a pathologic reaction as a result of bad adaptation to high altitudes (greater than 2.500 meters). The main symptoms are headache, nausea, vomits, and insomnia. When severe it can produce oliguria, retinal hemorrhage, ataxia and sometimes coma. Its etiology is not well known. It is considered that the first producer factor of

The (Im)possibilities of Repopulation: How Supply‐Side Factors Hinder the Revitalisation of Vacant Houses in Rural Mountain Regions

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Industrialisation has reshaped European rural areas, leading to both depopulation and, in some cases, lifestyle‐driven repopulation. Our research highlights supply‐side barriers to Alpine repopulation by unpacking the impossibilities of vacant farmhouses revitalisation. Both land transfer traditions ingrained over generation (micro‐level

Acute mountain sickness

Medical Journal of Indonesia, 2001
Acute mountain sickness, HAPE (high altitude pulmonary edema) and HACE (high altitude cerebral edema) are associated with acute exposure to altitudes greater than 8000 ft. Although usually self limiting, they can be life threatening. We are not yet clear abour the pathophysiological processes in acute mountain sickness.
