Variants of the low oxygen sensors EGLN1 and HIF-1AN associated with acute mountain sickness. [PDF]
, 2014 Two low oxygen sensors, Egl nine homolog 1 (EGLN1) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α inhibitor (HIF-1AN), play pivotal roles in the regulation of HIF-1α, and high altitude adaption may be involved in the pathology of acute mountain sickness (AMS).

Treatment of acute mountain sickness [PDF]
BMJ, 1995 EDITOR,--Hans-Rudolf Keller and colleagues recommend descent as the treatment of choice for acute mountain sickness but show that both treatment in a portable hyperbaric chamber and administration of dexamethasone (which was the superior treatment) may facilitate descent by improving symptoms.1 Pressurisation produced only short term benefit.
