Effect of exercise on cerebral perfusion in humans at high altitude
The effects of submaximal and maximal exercise on cerebral perfusion were assessed using a portable, recumbent cycle ergometer in nine unacclimatized subjects ascending to 5,260 m. At 150 m, mean (SD) cerebral oxygenation (rSo2%) increased during submaximal exercise from 68.4 (SD 2.1) to 70.9 (SD 3.8) ( P < 0.0001) and at maximal oxygen uptake (V ...

Nutritional Aspects of High Altitude and Snow Bound Areas [PDF]
The precise nutritional requirement of humans at high altitude area is not well defined. Further there are many conflicting reports on the effects of hypoxia on digestion, absorption and utilization of food at high altitude.

Effect of clouds on emission spectra for Super Venus [PDF]
We report a model study on the effects of clouds on emission spectra of super-Venus planets. Our goal is to assess possible ways to identify characteristic spectral features due to clouds. We show that it is possible to distinguish an impact of H2SO4 clouds on the CO2 absorption band at 4.8 micron for temperature profiles with and without a thermal ...

Effect of high altitude on human postprandial 13C‐octanoate metabolism, intermediary metabolites, gastrointestinal peptides, and visceral perception [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveAt high altitude (HA), acute mountain sickness (AMS) is accompanied by neurologic and upper gastrointestinal symptoms (UGS). The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that delayed gastric emptying (GE), assessed by 13C‐octanoate breath testing (OBT), causes UGS in AMS.

Salmeterol for the prevention of high-altitude pulmonary edema. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary edema results from a persistent imbalance between forces that drive water into the air space and the physiologic mechanisms that remove it.

Ibuprofen Blunts Ventilatory Acclimatization to Sustained Hypoxia in Humans. [PDF]
Ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia is a time-dependent increase in ventilation and the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) that involves neural plasticity in both carotid body chemoreceptors and brainstem respiratory centers.

Adrenal, thyroid and gonadal axes are affected at high altitude
Humans cannot live at very high altitude for reasons, which are not completely understood. Since these reasons are not restricted to cardiorespiratory changes alone, changes in the endocrine system might also be involved.

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors, Sport and Doping [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, and avanafil) are drugs commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Physiological Responses to Hypoxia on Triglyceride Levels
Hypoxia is a condition during which the body or specific tissues are deprived of oxygen. This phenomenon can occur in response to exposure to hypoxic environmental conditions such as high-altitude, or because of pathophysiological conditions such as ...
