Nepal, the home of the highest mountain peaks, is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the world. The Himalaya begins where other mountain ranges leave off. Local farmers have cut small terrace fields on the slopes of colossal gorges which have been carved out by large glacial fed rivers. Everest Base Camp located at an altitude of 5,360 metres (17,590 ft) is 1,000 meters higher tha...
The increased prevalence of high altitude sickness such as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE), and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) are related to the increasing popularity of mountain climbing as an adventure sport; and the increasing ease, and decreasing cost of travel to popular climbing tourist destinations. This precludes the usual preparations and adapt...
Acute mountain sickness was known to the Chinese in ancient times, as they traversed mountain passes between the Great Headache and Little Headache mountains into present-day Afghanistan. The Jesuit priest, Father Joseph Acosta, lived in Peru during the sixteenth century; he described both this syndrome and deaths which occurred in the high Andes. The incidence of high-altitude illness will ris...
We read with interest the article titled ‘Obesity is a risk factor for acute mountain sickness: a prospective study in Tibet railway construction workers on Tibetan plateau’1. Role of obesity, as acknowledged by the authors, has been debatable in acute mountain sickness (AMS). Authors of this study have reported increasing Lake Louise (LL) score both at 12h and 24h of exposure to high altitude ...
This paper describes the treatment of a severe case of acute mountain sickness with a portable hyperbaric chamber. A 37-year old climber was treated for acute high altitude pulmonary oedema, which developed on the North Col of Mount Everest, at an altitude of 7,060 m. The treatment in the portable Gamow bag hyperbaric chamber lasted two hours, with a bag pressure of 103 mm Hg (0.136 kg/cm2 or 2...
Since their arrival in the Tibetan Plateau during the Neolithic Age, Tibetans have been well-adapted to extreme environmental conditions and possess genetic variation that reflect their living environment and migratory history. To investigate the origin of Tibetans and the genetic basis of adaptation in a rigorous environment, we genotyped 30 Tibetan individuals with more than one million SNP m...
Severe acute mountain sickness accompanied with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a severe, critical mountain illness characterized by high altitude pulmonary or cerebral edema, complicated by 24 hours of unresponsiveness to treatment and the dysfunction or failure of 2 or more organs. Not only is it a severe illness with a high mortality rate, but the treatment for it, is also very...
Intracellular pH Regulation in iPSCs-derived Astrocytes from Subjects with Chronic Mountain Sickness
BACKGROUND Acute mountain sickness occurs in some unacclimatized persons who travel to terrestrial altitudes at which barometric pressures are the same as those in commercial aircraft during flight. Whether the effects are similar in air travelers is unknown. METHODS We conducted a prospective, single-blind, controlled hypobaric-chamber study of adult volunteers to determine the effect of bar...
