Hypoxia: Into the Next Millennium (ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY Volume 474)

Hypoxia is a constant threat throughout life. International experts from many different fields, including clinicians, clinical researchers, and basic scientists, have contributed to this volume, presenting state-of-the-art information regarding normal and abnormal (pathophysiological) responses to hypoxia. The topics covered include visitors to high altitude, the latest developments on high-altitude cerebral and pulmonary edema, the brain in hypoxia, high-altitude headache, and similarities between ischemic and hypoxic injury to the brain. In addition topics are covered such as blood-brain barrier in hypoxia, hypoxia interactions with vascular growth, and how humans adjust to extreme hypoxia.Roach, Robert C. is the author of 'Hypoxia: Into the Next Millennium (ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY Volume 474)', published 1999 under ISBN 9780306462894 and ISBN 0306462893.
