MEDEX 2015: Prophylactic Effects of Positive Expiratory Pressure in Trekkers at Very High Altitude
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Purpose: Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing has been shown to increase arterial oxygenation during acute hypoxic exposure but the underlying mechanisms and consequences on symptoms during prolonged high-altitude exposure remain to be elucidated.

Contribution of Hypoxic Exercise Testing to Predict High-Altitude Pathology: A Systematic Review
Life, 2022 Altitude travelers are exposed to high-altitude pathologies, which can be potentially serious. Individual susceptibility varies widely and this makes it difficult to predict who will develop these complications.

Drug Use on Mont Blanc: A Study Using Automated Urine Collection [PDF]
, 2016 Mont Blanc, the summit of Western Europe, is a popular but demanding high-altitude ascent. Drug use is thought to be widespread among climbers attempting this summit, not only to prevent altitude illnesses, but also to boost physical and/or psychological

High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002 AFIT 57-YEAR-OLD MALE trekker/climber presented at Dingboche, Nepal (4420 m), with severely limited exercise tolerance (it was an effort for him to walk from his room to the dining area), headache, and nausea. These symptoms first appeared 2 days earlier when he returned to Lobouche (5029 m) after climbing Kalapatar (5600 m).

Effects of age on hypoxic tolerance in women
Current Issues in Sport Science, 2023 Introduction The prevalence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) is increasing with altitude (i.e., 10-25% at 2,500 m and 50-85% at ~ 5,000 m; Bärtsch & Swenson, 2013). While there is no error-free test to predict its occurrence, several risk factors and

Cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness upon acute high-altitude exposure at 3,700 m in young Chinese men. [PDF]
, 2014 PURPOSE: We aimed at identifying the cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness (AMS). METHODS: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography examinations were performed between 18 and 24 h after arrival at 3,700 m via plane from 500 m (n ...
