The Jack Borgenicht Hypoxia/Altitude Physiology Research Facility (JBHARF) operates a normobaric hypoxia chamber at a “normal” sea level atmospheric pressure of approximately 760 torr (1 torr = 1/760 ...

High-altitude environments impose unique physiological challenges due to reduced atmospheric oxygen levels. Mammals native to these regions exhibit a range of adaptations that enhance oxygen uptake, ...

High altitude medicine is a "natural research laboratory" for the study of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. It can shed light on conditions and diseases that mimic the low oxygen content ...

BETHESDA, Md. (May 18, 2009) Pregnant women who are indigenous to the Andes Mountains deliver more blood and oxygen to their fetuses at high altitude than do women of European descent. The study helps ...

MEDAIRE released a new computer-based medical training course, Altitude Physiology, designed to teach about the physical demands of flying at high altitude. The course contains lessons that cover the ...

BETHESDA, MD. – Sildenafil (Viagra) significantly improved the cardiovascular and exercise performance measures of trained cyclists at high altitude, mostly because the drug helped some participants ...

The enhanced training course combines classroom instruction on high-altitude physiology with practical training using a hypoxia training platform. Aircare's enhanced training course combines classroom ...
