Kidney function remained essentially unaffected and acute mountain sickness (AMS) was not associated with salt water retention in healthy young men flown to resting at the Margherita hut (4,559 m) under strictly controlled conditions maintaining water, salt, food intake pre-exposure levels. Thus, renal dysfunction fluid are essential factors contributing pathophysiology of AMS.

Abstract Background We report a case who developed long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae similar to frontotemporal dementia after suffering "high altitude sickness" while climbing high mountain without taking precautions against acute hypoxia. Case presentation The 57-year-old patient showed symptoms of sickness 3500 m. A few months descending the mountain, he such as loss empathy, decreased spee...

The paper is a short survey around the author’s recent works on topics related to complex Monge-Ampère equations and strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds. 1. Invariant differential operators In complex analysis of one variable, the fact that the invariant property for Laplace operator under holomorphic change of coordinates plays an important role. Namely, Let φ : D1 → D2 be a holom...
