Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC): a new biomarker for high-altitude pulmonary edema in the Ecuadorian Andes

Scientific Reports, 2022
Ascent to high altitude (> 3000 m height above sea level or m.a.s.l) exposes people to hypobaric atmospheric pressure and hypoxemia, which provokes mountain sickness and whose symptoms vary from the mild acute mountain sickness to the life-threatening ...

Examination of novel diagnostic approaches and contemporary strategies for preventing acute mountain sickness

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Introduction and purpose: Acute mountain sickness is caused by hypoxia, of which the brain is the most sensitive. The frequency of occurrence at altitudes above 2500 m above sea level may reach up to 75% of travelers.

Assessing the Feasibility of Wearable Devices for Physiological Monitoring and Heat Risk Prediction in Outdoor Agricultural Workers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Outdoor agricultural workers experience significant heat exposure, yet few studies have evaluated whether wearable sensors can reliably measure continuous physiological responses in real field conditions. This pilot study examined the feasibility and predictive utility of core temperature, hydration, heart rate, and movement data ...

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

[Altitude sickness].

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 1978
Ten climbers were studied trekking from 1,950 to 4,650 m (6,500 ft to 15,500 ft) in the Nanda Devi Sanctuary of the Garwhal Himalaya. All developed altitude sickness, one seriously. Pulse, blood pressure, and peak flow rate were monitored daily in an attempt to predict the onset of altitude sickness.
