Space Environment and Evaluation of Typical High Altitude Satellite
The space environment consists mainly of high-energy charged particles, such as protons, electrons and heavy ions. They are originating from several sources including galactic cosmic radiation, solar flares and van Allen belts. High energy electromagnetic radiation and neutrons have also been measured on spacecraft. Although shielding can reduce the effect of space radiation it cannot be elimin...
متن کاملHigh Altitude and Anesthesia
Anesthesia at high altitude is a challenging task for all anesthesiologists. The high-altitude intensivists are challenged by the human organism in a hypoxic environment, and the true research potentials presented by high altitude, where thebody is subjected to an essentially isolatedhypoxic challenge, are just beginning to be realized. One of the problems when talking about high altitude is th...
متن کاملCerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Masquerading as High Altitude Cerebral Edema at Extreme Altitude
Introduction: Extreme altitude travel has gained popularity globally for adventurous, scientific, and military endeavors. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) at extreme altitude is a rare, covert, and emergent condition requiring immediate intervention. Case Presentation: A case of CVST masqueraded as high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) at 6700 m/22000 ft i...
متن کاملAging and high-altitude polycythemia.
CHIODI, HUGO. Aging and high-altitude polycythemia. J. Appl. Physiol.: Respirat. Environ. Exercise Physiol. 45(6): 1019-1020, 1978. No correlation was found between hemoglobin, hematocrit, or red blood cells and age in 42 healthy mixed Indians living at 4,515 m above sea level. The discrepancy of our results with those of Whittembury and Monge in similar conditions and altitude is discussed and...
متن کاملHigh-altitude hypoxia and preeclampsia.
The influence of hypoxia (lowered arterial blood and/or tissue PO2) on fetoplacental development and the role of hypoxia in preeclampsia are major research foci in perinatal biology. While animal and cell models are of utility, we do not know whether artificial hypoxic stimuli mimic the pathological conditions attributed to hypoxic stress in vivo; we cannot distinguish the effects of hypoxia fr...
