Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a well described disease process that occurs as a result of rapid exposure to high altitude. High altitude headache (HAH) is defined as the presence of headache in the setting of a recent increase in altitude. When HAH is associated with nausea, vomiting, fatigue,
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common ailment in people venturing over 2500 meters altitude. It is a pathological effect of high altitude on humans, caused by acute exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude. It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms, acquired at high
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is one of three syndromes of altitude illness. It is very common when people venture over 2500 meters altitude. This illness is mainly induced by acute exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude that will cause a pathological effect on humans. It
High Altitude Headache is the primary symptom of Acute Mountain Sickness. However, at present the reason why some individuals suffer from High Altitude Headache and others do not remains unknown. It is widely believed that elevated pressure within the brain leads to stretching of pain sensitive
This study is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. It aims to demonstrate that (1) Chinese medicine prescription "Wu Zhu Yu Tang" can prevent Acute Mountain Sickness(AMS) (2) "Wu Zhu Yu Tang" can prevent AMS especially for Yang-Xu body constitution.
We will randomize 240
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a constellation of symptoms including headache, sleep disturbance, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea, vomiting, or anorexia that commonly occurs in travelers ascending to altitudes above 2,500m. AMS incidence varies based on altitude and ascent profile with rates
The study will begin with 2 days of studies in San Francisco (sea level baseline). Measurements will include non-invasive measurements of blood and tissue oxygen and venous blood draws for cytokine levels.
The altitude part of the study involves ascent to the University of California's White
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is characterized by an excessive number of red cells in the blood of persons living permanently above the altitude of 2,500m. The symptoms of this very incapacitating disease are : headaches, chronic asthenia, digestive troubles, sleep disturbances. The hemoglobin
The exact mechanisms by which AMS develops remains poorly understood. Interestingly, brain and spinal cord swelling due to low oxygen levels can also occur in the period following surgery to treat thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, dangerous swellings of the major blood vessel in the body.
Enrollment:
A total of One hundred healthy male and female participants (group of 25 at a time) will be enrolled by study administrators at Owens Valley Lab, White Mountain Research Station. Pregnant women will be excluded. The study enrollment period will run for approximately 12 days over 4
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a well-known disorder in sojourners to high altitude (>2000m) characterized by headache, nausea and tiredness, akin to hangover-like symptoms. The Lake Louise criteria for AMS was primarily developed to allow uniformity in comparing the prevalence of AMS in different
Altitude affects human health and well being through its effect on tissue oxygenation by altering the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas that enters the lungs. The partial pressure of any component of a mixed gas is equal to the total pressure of the gas multiplied by the fraction of the gas that
