Unraveling the pathogenesis and prevention strategies of acute high-altitude illness through gut microecology

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
High-altitude environments, characterized by hypobaric and hypoxic conditions, induce acute hypoxia, resulting in decreased blood oxygen saturation.

Low acute hypoxic ventilatory response and hypoxic depression in acute altitude sickness

, 1986
Persons with acute altitude sickness hypoventilate at high altitude compared with persons without symptoms. We hypothesized that their hypoventilation was due to low initial hypoxic ventilatory responsiveness, combined with subsequent blunting of ...

Acute mountain sickness

, 2001
Acute mountain sickness, HAPE (high altitude pulmonary edema) and HACE (high altitude cerebral edema) are associated with acute exposure to altitudes greater than 8000 ft. Although usually self limiting, they can be life threatening. We are not yet clear

Cardiorespiratory effects of high altitude exposure

Cardiologia Hungarica
At high altitude, the partial pressure of oxygen in the air is lower than at sea level. During acclimatization, the body adapts to this condition through respiratory, circulatory, renal, and hematological processes.

Andean high-altitude ancestry does not protect from acute mountain sickness and altitude-induced arterial hypoxemia [PDF]

, 2017
It is thought that adaptive changes protect high-altitude populations against altitude-induced diseases, but information from well controlled studies is lacking.

How Can Acute Mountain Sickness be Quantified at Moderate Altitude?

, 1996
Reports of acute mountain sickness (AMS) at moderate altitude show a wide variability, possibly because of different investigation methods. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of investigation methods on AMS incidence.

Glomerular filtration rate estimates decrease during high altitude expedition but increase with Lake Louise acute mountain sickness scores

, 2008
AIM: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) can result in pulmonary and cerebral oedema with overperfusion of microvascular beds, elevated hydrostatic capillary pressure, capillary leakage and consequent oedema as pathogenetic mechanisms.
