Acetazolamide and N-acetylcysteine in the treatment of chronic mountain sickness (Monge's disease)

Sharma, S.; Gralla, J.; Ordonez, J. G.; Hurtado, M. E.; Swenson, E. R.; Schoene, R. B.; Kelly, J. P.; Callacondo, D.; Rivard, C.; Roncal-Jimenez, C.; Sirota, J.; Fuquay, R.; Jackson, B. P.; Swenson, K. E.; Johnson, R. J.; Hurtado, A.; Escudero, E. (Elsevier, 2017)

Patients suffering from chronic mountain sickness (CMS) have excessive erythrocytosis. Low level cobalt toxicity as a likely contributor has been demonstrated in some subjects. We performed a randomized, placebo controlled ...
Chronic mountain sickness score was related with health status score but not with hemoglobin levels at high altitudes

Gonzales Rengifo, Gustavo Francisco; Rubio, Julio; Gasco Tantachuco, Manuel Enrique (Elsevier, 2013)

Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) or lack of adaptation to live in high altitudes is related to environmental hypoxia and excessive erythrocytosis (EE) (hemoglobin >21 and >19 g/dL for men and women, respectively). Diagnosis ...
EPR spectroscopic evidence of iron-catalysed free radical formation in chronic mountain sickness: Dietary causes and vascular consequences

Bailey, D.M.; Culcasi, M.; Filipponi, T.; Brugniaux, J.V.; Stacey, B.S.; Marley, C.J.; Soria, R.; Rimoldi, S.F.; Cerny, D.; Rexhaj, E.; Pratali, L.; Salmòn, C.S.; Jáuregui, C.M.; Villena, M.; Villafuerte, Francisco C.; Rockenbauer, A.; Pietri, S.; Scherrer, U.; Sartori, C. (Elsevier, 2022)

Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a high-altitude (HA) maladaptation syndrome characterised by elevated systemic oxidative-nitrosative stress (OXNOS) due to a free radical-mediated reduction in vascular nitric oxide (NO) ...
Global Reach 2018: sympathetic neural and hemodynamic responses to submaximal exercise in Andeans with and without chronic mountain sickness

Hansen, Alexander B.; Amin, Sachin B.; Hofstätter, Florian; Mugele, Hendrik; Simpson, Lydia L.; Gasho, Christopher; Dawkins, Tony G.; Tymko, Michael M.; Ainslie, Philip N.; Villafuerte, Francisco C.; Hearon, Christopher M., Jr; Lawley, Justin S.; Moralez, Gilbert (American Physiological Society, 2022)

Andeans with chronic mountain sickness (CMS) and polycythemia have similar maximal oxygen uptakes to healthy Andeans. Therefore, this study aimed to explore potential adaptations in convective oxygen transport, with a ...
Is restless legs syndrome associated with chronic mountain sickness?

Vizcarra-Escobar, Darwin; Mendiola-Yamasato, Andrea; Risco-Rocca, Jorge; Marinos-Velarde, Alejandro; Juarez-Belaunde, Alan; Anculle-Arauco, Victor; Rivera Chira, Maria Concepcion (Elsevier, 2015)

BACKGROUND: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and chronic mountain sickness (CMS) share physiological traits. Our objective was to explore a possible association between RLS and CMS. METHODS: We carried a cross-sectional study ...
Left ventricular adaptation to high altitude: speckle tracking echocardiography in lowlanders, healthy highlanders and highlanders with chronic mountain sickness

Dedobbeleer, C.; Hadefi, A.; Pichon, A.; Villafuerte, Francisco C.; Naeije, R.; Unger, P. (Springer, 2015)

Hypoxic exposure depresses myocardial contractility in vitro, but has been associated with indices of increased cardiac performance in intact animals and in humans, possibly related to sympathetic nervous system activation. ...
Role of Maca (Lepidium meyenii) Consumption on Serum Interleukin-6 Levels and Health Status in Populations Living in the Peruvian Central Andes over 4000 m of Altitude

Gonzales Rengifo, Gustavo Francisco; Gasco Tantachuco, Manuel Enrique; Lozada-Requena, Ivan (Springer, 2013)

Lepidium meyenii (Maca) is a plant that grows at over 4,000 m above sea level in the central Peruvian Andes. The hypocotyls of this plant are traditionally consumed for their nutritional and medicinal properties. The aim ...
Serum testosterone levels and excessive erythrocytosis during the process of adaptation to high altitudes

Gonzales Rengifo, Gustavo Francisco (Elsevier, 2013)

Populations living at high altitudes (HAs), particularly in the Peruvian Andes, are characterized by a mixture of subjects with erythrocytosis (16 g dl−1−1) and others with excessive erythrocytosis (EE) (Hb>21 g dl−1). ...
