Intracranial Pressure, High Altitude and Acute Mountain Sickness
Clinical Science, 19951. Raised intracranial pressure has been noted in severe forms of acute mountain sickness and high-altitude cerebral oedema, but the role of intracranial pressure in the pathogenesis of mild to moderate acute mountain sickness is unknown. 2.

Incidence of Acute Mountain Sickness at Intermediate Altitudes
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1989To the Editor. — As more and more people flock to mountain resorts, it is evident that acute mountain sickness exacts a significant human and economic toll at even moderate altitude. Singh et al, 1 describing 1905 cases among Indian troops, found incidences ranging from 0.8% to 8.0% between companies.

Simulation of Cumulative Risk of Developing Altitude Decompression Sickness
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2008Recently we proposed the probabilistic model of decompression sickness (DCS) based on stochastic simulation of bubbling processes in body tissues under decompression, and on the concept of a critical volume of a free gas phase in tissues. The model defines the cumulative probability of developing all DCS symptoms by an exponential equation whose index ...

Guide to Altitude Decompression Sickness Research
2010Abstract : This report is designed to be a reference for Aerospace Researchers and Technicians in the US Air Force who are tasked to perform altitude decompression sickness (DCS) research. It contains information about procedures, records, and equipment used in DCS research at Brooks AFB/City-Base from 1983-2005 involving over 3000 human subject ...

Modeling the dynamics of risk of altitude decompression sickness
Biophysics, 2008A probabilistic model of decompression sickness is modified by introducing corrections that determine more precisely the risk of tissue injury by gas bubbles as a function of blood supply and bubble nucleation intensity. Parameters of the “worst” virtual tissues and theoretical curves corresponding to empirical data on the cumulative probability of ...

The Effect of Gender on Susceptibility to Altitude Decompression Sickness.
1996Abstract : Inclusion of females in combat roles places some of them in cockpits where decompression sickness (DCS) in their male counterparts occurs on a routine basis. A retrospective review of data from 765,216 training chamber exposures indicated females are 4.6 times more susceptible to DCS than males (0.224% in females versus 0.049% in males ...

534 HIGH-ALTITUDE SICKNESS IN BUFFALO, WYOMING.
Journal of Investigative Medicine, 2006Purpose Buffalo, Wyoming offers many year-round outdoor activities to both residents and tourists. Many of these recreational activities occur in the nearby Big Horn Mountains, altitude approx. 9,200 ft. Local physicians report caring for many cases of high-altitude sickness (HAS) yearly, as well as an occasional case of high-altitude pulmonary edema (
