Changes in labial capillary density on ascent to and descent from high altitude
Present knowledge of how the microcirculation is altered by prolonged exposure to hypoxia at high altitude is incomplete and modification of existing analytical techniques may improve our knowledge considerably. We set out to use a novel simplified method of measuring in vivo capillary density during an expedition to high altitude using a CytoCam incident dark field imaging video-microscope. Th...
متن کاملEffects of Ascent to High Altitude on Human Antimycobacterial Immunity
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis infection, disease and mortality are all less common at high than low altitude and ascent to high altitude was historically recommended for treatment. The immunological and mycobacterial mechanisms underlying the association between altitude and tuberculosis are unclear. We studied the effects of altitude on mycobacteria and antimycobacterial immunity. METHODS Antimyco...
متن کاملThe physiology of high altitude: an introduction to the cardio-respiratory changes occuring on ascent to altitude
Both the high altitude physiologist and the intensivist are challenged by the human organism in a hypoxic environment. The variation in barometric pressure which occurs with latitude influences enormously the inspired oxygen concentration at extreme altitudes and can significantly effect performance. The cardiorespiratory changes which take place at high altitude, and in particular the putative...
متن کاملThe impact of moderate-altitude staging on pulmonary arterial hemodynamics after ascent to high altitude.
Staged ascent (SA), temporary residence at moderate altitude en route to high altitude, reduces the incidence and severity of noncardiopulmonary altitude illness such as acute mountain sickness. To date, the impact of SA on pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that SA would attenuate the PAP increase that occurs during rapid, direct ascent (DA). Transthoracic e...
متن کاملRecursive Ascent-Descent Parsing
Generalized left-corner parsing was originally presented as a technique for generating a parser for the SLR(1) class of grammars but with far fewer states than the SLR(1) parser. This paper modi es and extends the formulation of left-corner parsers so that it is possible to apply the technique to the LALR(1) and LR(1) classes of grammars. It is further shown that left-corner parsers can be conv...
