Article Synopsis
- The study investigated thrombosis occurrence in healthy soldiers at high altitudes, finding significantly higher rates of both venous and arterial thrombosis compared to near-sea-level environments.
- Key physiological changes included increased coagulation factors and reduced levels of natural anticoagulants in those with thrombosis, alongside elevated inflammation and endothelial dysfunction markers.
- These findings suggest that altitude may exacerbate thrombosis risk due to distinct biological mechanisms, highlighting the need for further research and awareness in high-altitude environments.
Evaluation of nasal obstruction in lowlander males in high altitude.
Med J Armed Forces India
April 2018
Background: Nasal symptoms are a major problem affecting the quality of life of lowlanders deployed at high altitude. Study was carried out in fresh male inductees inducted in high altitude of 11,500 ft (3500 m) above sea level to evaluate the nasal obstruction using the subjective Nasal obstruction and symptom evaluation (NOSE) score and rhinomanometry during the stay in high altitude.
Methods: A prospective study was carried out in 100 males inducted into high altitude.
