Effect of acclimatisation to altitude on learning.
Long-term exposure to high altitude has been reported to impair cognitive functions, possibly resulting in an increased risk of mountain accidents. To assess the modification of cognitive functions during acclimatisation to altitude, 17 climbers were studied at 5350 m a.s.l. by means of a neuropsychological learning test. The results clearly show that by extending the period spent at elevations...
متن کاملAdaptation and acclimatisation in humans and animals at high altitude.
Rapid ascent into high altitude or permanent residence there leads to a wide range of disturbances of function or alterations in histological appearances in most organs of the body. The influences which lead to these changes are those inherent in the environment of high altitude, especially hypobaric hypoxia resulting from the diminished barometric pressure. One of the major aspects of research...
متن کاملSmoking, acute mountain sickness and altitude acclimatisation: a cohort study.
RATIONALE The relationship between cigarette smoking and acute mountain sickness (AMS) is not clear. OBJECTIVE To assess AMS risk and altitude acclimatisation in relation to smoking. METHODS 200 healthy non-smokers and 182 cigarette smokers were recruited from Han lowland workers. These were men without prior altitude exposure, matched for age, health status and occupation, who were transpo...
متن کاملResponse and acclimatisation of symptomless smokers on changing to a low tar, low nicotine cigarette.
Ten symptomless smokers were switched from their usual cigarette to a low tar, low nicotine test cigarette for two weeks to investigate their immediate response and subsequent acclimatisation to the test cigarette. The tar (T) and nicotine (N) yields of the test cigarettes were T = 3.8 mg, N = 0.6 mg; the median yields of the usual cigarettes were T = 16.4 mg, N = 1.4 mg. The subjects were moni...
متن کاملRecovery from transport and acclimatisation of competition horses in a hot humid environment.
The aims of the present field-based study were to investigate changes in fit horses undergoing acclimatisation to a hot humid environment and to provide data on which to base recommendations for safe transport and acclimatisation. Six horses (age 7-12 years) were flown from Europe to Atlanta and underwent a 16 day period of acclimatisation. Exercise conditions during acclimatisation (wet bulb g...
