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.

Land‐surface interactions with the atmosphere over the Iberian Semi‐arid Environment (LIAISE): First mesoscale modelling intercomparison

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Topography of the outer and inner (black line) domains of the simulation (the blue box indicates the region where the probability density functions for Leaf Area Index and wind, temperature and humidity at 2 m above ground are computed). The most common land cover type is also shown over this region for the 3 models to illustrate the differences in ...

Acute mountain sickness amongst tourists to Lhasa [PDF]

, 2017
Acute mountain sickness is the commonest acute high altitude illness occurring at high altitude. Its prevalence is dependent on the ascent rate, altitude achieved, physical effort required to reach the target altitude and pharmacological intervention ...

The dry‐season low‐level cloud cover over western equatorial Africa: A case study with a mesoscale atmospheric model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The atmospheric mechanisms responsible for the low‐level cloud cover (LCC) over western equatorial Africa in the dry season are poorly studied. This study brings a better understanding of the mechanisms accounting for the diurnal LCC formation and dissipation, and it highlights some potential interactions between local and regional dynamics by using a ...

Acute Mountain Sickness: Controversies and Advances

High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2004
This review discusses the impact of recent publications on pathophysiologic concepts and on practical aspects of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Magnetic resonance imaging studies do not provide evidence of total brain volume increase nor edema within the first 6 to 10 h of exposure to hypoxia despite symptoms of AMS.

Rethinking Synergies and Trade‐Offs at the Forest‐Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Nexus—A Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forests play a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yet their contributions are often misunderstood and inadequately addressed in the scientific discourse. This study clarifies the intricate relationships between forests and the SDGs by examining the contextual factors that influence this interplay.

Design and conduct of 'Xtreme Alps' : a double-blind, randomised controlled study of the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on acclimatisation to high altitude [PDF]

, 2013
The study of healthy human volunteers ascending to high altitude provides a robust model of the complex physiological interplay that emulates human adaptation to hypoxaemia in clinical conditions.

Passing as Able‐Bodyminded, Disabled, or Supercrip: Rethinking Impression Management Strategies Through a Disability Lens

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This paper further develops the interactionist notion of passing from a disability studies perspective. Drawing on central disability studies journals' archives in the course of a theoretical PhD project that explores disability studies' theorizing of emotions, passing emerged as one of several issues of emotional relevance in the context of disability—

Systematics of Planchonella Pierre: The largest Sapotaceae genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Planchonella is the largest genus in subfamily Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae), believed to circumscribe about 110 species, occurring throughout tropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania, as well as the Seychelles and Hawaii. Previous studies have confirmed the monophyly of Planchonella but also identified problems such as species limits of the ...
