Incidence of Acute Mountain Sickness at Intermediate Altitude [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1989 The incidence of acute mountain sickness was determined by questionnaire in 454 individuals who attended week-long continuing medical education programs at ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains with base elevations of about 2000 m. As a control group, 96 individuals who attended continuing medical education programs at sea level in San Francisco completed

Oxygen Consumption at Altitude as a Risk Factor for Altitude Decompression Sickness
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010The existence of a general influence of exercise on the incidence of decompression sickness (DCS) has been known for more than a half-century. However, quantification of the effect has not been done for several reasons, including isolation of exercise as the only variable.

Gender Not a Risk for Altitude Decompression Sickness Risk [PDF]
, 2002 Early, retrospective reports of the incidence of altitude decompression sickness (DCS) during altitude chamber training exposures indicated that women were more susceptible than men. We hypothesized that a controlled, prospective study would show no significant difference.We conducted 25 altitude chamber decompression exposure profiles.

Pharmacological control of altitude sickness
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1991Acute mountain sickness has long been recognized as a potentially life-threatening condition afflicting otherwise healthy individuals who ascend rapidly to high altitude, where the partial pressure of oxygen in the air is reduced. The symptoms of acute mountain sickness are probably a consequence of disturbances in fluid balance brought about by severe

Altitude-Induced Decompression Sickness
2010Decompression sickness (DCS) describes a condition characterized by a variety of symptoms resulting from exposure to low barometric pressures that cause inert gases (mainly nitrogen), normally dissolved in body fluids and tissues, to come out of physical solution and form bubbles.
