OBJECTIVE Acute mountain sickness (AMS) characterized by presence of symptoms including headache, nausea, excessive fatigue, loss of appetite, irritability and insomnia is a major impediment to work performance in human subjects who are rapidly inducted to high altitude (HA) during the initial phase

High-altitude headache and acute mountain sickness.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Headache is the most common complication associated with exposure to high altitude, and can appear as an isolated high-altitude headache (HAH) or in conjunction with acute mountain sickness (AMS). The purpose of this article is to review several aspects related to diagnosis and treatment

Incidence of acute mountain sickness at intermediate altitude.

Only registered users can translate articles

The incidence of acute mountain sickness was determined by questionnaire in 454 individuals who attended week-long continuing medical education programs at ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains with base elevations of about 2000 m. As a control group, 96 individuals who attended continuing medical

Acute mountain sickness in children at 2835 meters.

OBJECTIVE Acute mountain sickness has been described in adults but little is known concerning its occurrence in children. Our objective was to determine the incidence of acute mountain sickness in children. METHODS A survey questionnaire was completed by 558 children (aged 9 to 14 years) after they

Neuromuscular consequences of an extreme mountain ultra-marathon.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated the physiological consequences of one of the most extreme exercises realized by humans in race conditions: a 166-km mountain ultra-marathon (MUM) with 9500 m of positive and negative elevation change. For this purpose, (i) the fatigue induced by the MUM and (ii) the recovery

Comparing questionnaires for the assessment of acute mountain sickness.

Only registered users can translate articles

Exposure to high altitude in nonacclimatized subjects may lead to acute mountain sickness (AMS). AMS is a syndrome characterized by headache accompanied by one or more other symptoms, such as light-headedness, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, lassitude, and trouble sleeping.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a multi-system disorder that is characterized by headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, lassitude, and malaise. The syndrome is common in unacclimatized low altitude residents who rapidly ascend to terrestrial elevations exceeding 2,500 m. AMS may

Effect of mountain ultramarathon distance competition on biochemical variables, respiratory and lower-limb fatigue

Only registered users can translate articles

The study aimed at assessing the acute physiological effects of running a 65-km vs a 107-km mountain ultramarathon. Nineteen athletes (15 males and 4 females) from the shorter race and forty three athletes (26 males and 17 females) from the longer race were enrolled. Body weight, respiratory and

Rate of ascent and acute mountain sickness at high altitude.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of ascent rate on the induction of acute mountain sickness (AMS) in young adults during a climb to Jiaming Lake (3350 m) in Taiwan. METHODS Prospective, nonrandomized. METHODS Climb from 2370 to 3350 m. METHODS Young adults (aged 18 to 26 years) (N = 91) chose to

Sea-level physical activity and acute mountain sickness at moderate altitude.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of previous physical conditioning on young well-conditioned mountaineers in relationship to acquiring acute mountain sickness is controversial. Data show both increased and decreased effects on the incidence of altitude illness. How general tourists at moderate altitudes are affected is

EDN1 gene potentially involved in the development of acute mountain sickness.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous investigations have indicated that environmental and genetic factors collectively contribute to the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS), but whether the EDN1 gene is involved in AMS remains to be elucidated. A total of 356 healthy male soldiers who had not traveled to high

Energy Deficiency During Cold Weather Mountain Training in NSW SEAL Qualification Students.

Only registered users can translate articles

Special Operation Forces (SOF) participating in Mountain Warfare/Cold Weather (MWCW) training have higher energy demands, but adequate fueling is difficult to achieve. The purpose of the study was to determine energy expenditure relative to energy intake and examine fueling patterns during 3 days of

Acute mountain sickness: Do different time courses point to different pathophysiologic mechanisms?

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a syndrome of non-specific symptoms (i.e. headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue) that may develop in non-acclimatized individuals after rapid exposure to altitudes ≥2500 m. In field studies, mean AMS scores usually peak after the first night at

Alterations of Neuromuscular Function after the World's Most Challenging Mountain Ultra-Marathon.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated the physiological consequences of the most challenging mountain ultra-marathon (MUM) in the world: a 330-km trail run with 24000 m of positive and negative elevation change. Neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) was assessed before (Pre-), during (Mid-) and after (Post-) the MUM in experienced
