Effects of Hypoxemia by Acute High-Altitude Exposure on Human Intestinal Flora and Metabolism [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 This study examined the effects of hypoxemia caused by acute high-altitude hypoxia (AHAH) exposure on the human intestinal flora and its metabolites. The changes in the intestinal flora, metabolism, and erythropoietin content in the AHAH population under altitude hypoxia conditions were comprehensively analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, metabonomics ...

Effects of Ascent to High Altitude on Human Antimycobacterial Immunity [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 عدوى السل والمرض والوفيات كلها أقل شيوعًا عند الارتفاعات العالية من الارتفاعات المنخفضة وكان الصعود إلى الارتفاعات العالية موصى به تاريخيًا للعلاج. الآليات المناعية والفطرية الكامنة وراء الارتباط بين الارتفاع والسل غير واضحة. درسنا آثار الارتفاع على المتفطرات والمناعة المضادة للبكتيريا.

Recent Observations of Human-induced Asymmetric Effects on Climate in Very High-Altitude Area
PLoS ONE, 2014 Like urban heat islands (UHI), human-induced land degradation (HLD) is a phenomenon attributed to human activities, but this phenomenon occurs in non-urban areas. Although a large body of work has demonstrated that land-cover change influences local climate systems, little work has been done on separating the impact of HLD from naturally-occurring ...

Effects of High Altitude on Lipid Components of Human Serum
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1968 SummarySerum lipid components were measured in eight male subjects exposed to an altitude of 14,000 feet for 14 days. Concentrations of total lipids rapidly decreased after the third day of exposure and a similar, although less pronounced decrease was observed in cholesterol levels.

The effect of high-altitude on human skeletal muscle energetics: P-MRS results from the Caudwell Xtreme Everest expedition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Many disease states are associated with regional or systemic hypoxia. The study of healthy individuals exposed to high-altitude hypoxia offers a way to explore hypoxic adaptation without the confounding effects of disease and therapeutic interventions ...

Disparities in COVID-19 incidence and fatality rates at high-altitude [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background SARS-CoV-2 has affected every demography disproportionately, including even the native highland populations. Hypobaric-hypoxic settings at high-altitude (HA, >2,500 masl) present an extreme environment that impacts the survival of permanent ...
