IL-10 Dysregulation in Acute Mountain Sickness Revealed by Transcriptome Analysis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Acute mountain sickness (AMS), which may progress to life-threatening high-altitude cerebral edema, is a major threat to millions of people who live in or travel to high altitude.

Shocks and Vulnerability in Rural Tanzania

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relative importance of idiosyncratic and covariate shocks in shaping household vulnerability to poverty in rural Tanzania. Using five rounds of the Tanzanian National Panel Survey and a three‐level multilevel modeling framework, we account for the hierarchical structure of the data and decompose consumption variance ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

How do physiological networks respond to normobaric hypoxia and isometric exercise?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The dynamics of physiological systems are impacted by both exercise and hypoxia. Network models can be used to map the interactions between various physiological components in environmental physiology and exercise using the concepts of information theory.

A comparison of normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia effects on cerebrovascular response pre and post maximal exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A lack of consensus remains on whether normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) may differentially impact physiological factors affecting cerebrovascular regulation, particularly with an additional strenuous exercise component. We sought to compare the acute effects of NH and HH on global cerebral blood flow (gCBF) at an altitude ...

Influence of facial cooling on carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial cooling can increase ventilation and augment the hypoxic ventilatory response. Whole body cooling increases both carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity; however, whether isolated facial cooling induces similar carotid body hyperexcitability was unknown.
