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

Branching Out: Rabbit Models Provide Evidence for the Use of a Willow Cultivar (Salix miyabeana) as a Suitable Forage Material for Monogastric Herbivores in Zoos

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We assessed the suitability of a willow cultivar for monogastric herbivores in zoos using a rabbit model. Thirty‐six male New Zealand White × Californian rabbits at 5 weeks of age were provided with bark and leaf material from a willow cultivar, Salix miyabeana (SX61), in one of four treatments for 6 weeks: UC (unrestricted control of pelleted

Nocturnal pulse oxygen saturation dynamics at simulated high altitude: Predictive value for acute mountain sickness in healthy men born pre-term. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract The physiological sequelae of pre‐term birth might influence the responses of this population to hypoxia. Moreover, identifying variables associated with development of acute mountain sickness (AMS) remains a key practically significant area of altitude research.
