DOI: 10.1097/wno.0000000000001629
Abstract: Background: Episodic high-altitude exposure leads to optic disc edema and retinopathy. It is uncertain whether high-altitude exposure is a risk factor for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Methods: We performed a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-051777
Abstract: Introduction About 5.7% of the world population resides above 1500 m. It has been hypothesised that acute exposure to high-altitude locations can increase stroke risk, while chronic hypoxia can reduce stroke-related mortality. Objective This review… read more here.

DOI: 10.1249/jsr.0000000000001044
Abstract: In uncomplicated pregnancies, short visits to high altitude are probably safe, and restricting travel and activities may have unnecessary negative consequences. Abstract Pregnant women are traveling to high altitude and evidence-based recommendations are needed. Yet,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2020.01049
Abstract: Baroreflex (BR) control is critically dependent of sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation. It has been documented that during acute hypobaric hypoxia there is a BR control impairment, however, the effect of a natural hypoxic environment on… read more here.

Acute high altitude exposure, acclimatization and re-exposure on nocturnal breathing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.965021
Abstract: Background: Effects of prolonged and repeated high-altitude exposure on oxygenation and control of breathing remain uncertain. We hypothesized that prolonged and repeated high-altitude exposure will improve altitude-induced deoxygenation and breathing instability. Methods: 21 healthy lowlanders,… read more here.
