AEROBIC CAPACITY AND ALTITUDE SICKNESS DURING HIMALAYAS TREK
Proceeding book, 2019 The aim was to determine relations of physical fitness and high-altitude sickness symptoms and drug usage in nonathletes visiting hypoxic environment. Subjects, 17 males (age 47.8 ±10.65), participated in 26-days trek (2500-6476m). Before the trip an all-out treadmill test was performed (maximal speed/ grade and estimated VO2max recorded). At every new

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Montane landscapes present an array of abiotic challenges that drive adaptive evolution amongst organisms. These adaptations can promote habitat specialisation, which may heighten the risk of extirpation from environmental change. For example, higher metabolic rates in an endothermic species may contribute to heightened cold tolerance, whilst ...

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Diving can affect neuropsychiatric functions. Previous studies of Taravana syndrome in Polynesian pearl divers, which have similarities to decompression illness following breath‐hold diving, and of Chiyamai in Japanese breath‐hold divers, which have symptoms like panic disorder, show what modern medicine can learn from the wisdom of tradition.

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
