In the descent we felt discomfort (such as was experienced in the ascent between Junction and Footstool Camp) down to a much lower level, as far as Corner Camp (13,000 feet), than we had felt in the ascent. We seemed to become continuously less able to hold out against altitude the longer we remained at a higher level. I several times took my temperature, but never hit it at anything but normal."2 It must be borne in mind that in this division of mountain-sickness acclimatisation ceases at great heights, because, in consequence of the everincreasing weakness, we become more sensitive to the action of the rarefied air; thus we see from the foregoing quotation that Conway and his companions felt worse when they descended to lower levels. The necessity of distinguishing the effects of weakness from those of rarefied air now becomes apparent. During the ascent one is stronger and more resistant, whereas in descending one is attacked by mountain-sickness at lesser heights owing to the state of greater exhaustion brought about by the casualties of the excursion. This is the reverse of what takes place in the acute form, which disappears, as we have seen, when one passes from thinner into denser air. Even on Monte Rosa at an altitude of 4,560 metres the acute and slow forms of mountain-sickness are easily distinguishable. Several of our party suffered from nausea and vomiting, violent headache, physical prostration 1 Edward Whymper, Travels amongst the Great Andes of the Equator. London, 1892, p-374 W. M.

In myself and others, on the contrary, phenomena of the slow type manifested themselves. Many will have noticed...

Book excerpt: In this classic work of mountaineering literature, Italian physiologist Angelo Mosso describes his scientific observations of the effects of high altitude on the human body during his ascents of various Alpine peaks in the late 19th century. Drawing on his own experiences as well as the accounts of other mountaineers, Mosso offers a fascinating glimpse into the physical and psychological challenges of high altitude climbing, and his groundbreaking research paved the way for future studies of the physiology of extreme environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Man on the High Alps On the intimation of the acquiescence of the Ministry I went to Ivrea where the Alpine regiment was stationed. My errand being made known, a number of soldiers immediately offered to join the expedition to the glaciers of Monte Rosa. I shall often have occasion to mention by name those who accompanied me I take, however, this early opportunity of remarking that their behaviour and discipline were worthy of all praise, and of giving expression to my feelings of admiration for the sterling qualities of these humble comrades of mine, to whom likewise my heartiest thanks are due. The first month, from the roth of June to the 11th of July, 1894, was devoted to preliminary researches with the object of ascertaining the physio logical conditions of the soldiers. As it was necessary to know what was their power of resistance to fatigue at ordinary elevations, I let them march with arms and baggage from Ivrea to Turin, a distance of 60 kilometres. I had purposely chosen some soldiers who were very strong and others of average strength: these I divided into two squads. I started with one squad and made the ascent at a slow rate of progress, about metres per week. The other division climbed up to the summit of Monte Rosa rapidly, em ploying only three days, the rest being by that time installed in the Regina Margherita Hut, awaiting their arrival. This arrangement was made with the intent of discovering the effect of slow and rapid changes of altitude on the organism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the long twentieth century, explorers went in unprecedented numbers to the hottest, coldest, and highest points on the globe. Taking us from the Himalaya to Antarctica and beyond, Higher and Colder presents the first history of extreme physiology, the study of the human body at its physical limits. Each chapter explores a seminal question in the history of science, while also showing how the apparently exotic locations and experiments contributed to broader political and social shifts in twentieth-century scientific thinking. Unlike most books on modern biomedicine, Higher and Colder focuses on fieldwork, expeditions, and exploration, and in doing so provides a welcome alternative to laboratory-dominated accounts of the history of modern life sciences. Though centered on male-dominated practices—science and exploration—it recovers the stories of women’s contributions that were sometimes accidentally, and sometimes deliberately, erased. Engaging and provocative, this book is a history of the scientists and physiologists who face challenges that are physically demanding, frequently dangerous, and sometimes fatal, in the interest of advancing modern science and pushing the boundaries of human ability.

Download or read book The Neurosciences and the Practice of Aviation Medicine written by Anthony N. Nicholson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings the neurosciences to operational and clinical aviation medicine. It is concerned with the physiology and pathology of circadian rhythmicity, orientation, hypotension and hypoxia, and with disorders of the central nervous system relevant to the practice of aviation medicine. The chapters on circadian rhythmicity and orientation deal with the impaired alertness and sleep disturbance associated with desynchrony and with the effects of linear and angular accelerations on spatial awareness. Hypotension and hypoxia cover cerebral function during increased gravitational stress, clinical aspects of exposure to acute hypoxia, the mild hypoxia of the cabin of transport aircraft, adaptation and acclimatization to altitude and decompression at extreme altitudes and in space. Disorders of particular significance to the practice of aviation medicine such as excessive daytime sleepiness, epilepsy, syncope, hypoglycaemia, headache and traumatic brain injury are covered, while neuro-ophthalmology, the vestibular system and hearing also receive detailed attention. The potentially adverse effects of the aviation environment and of disorders of the nervous system are brought together, and the text covers the neurological examination as it relates to aircrew and explores current management and therapeutics. The Neurosciences and the Practice of Aviation Medicine is an essential work for those involved in the practice of aviation medicine where familiarity with the effects of the aviation environment on the nervous system and understanding the pathophysiology of relevant clinical disorders are of prime concern. The authors from leading centres of excellence are physiologists concerned with the aviation environment and physicians involved in the day-to-day practice of medicine. They bring to this authoritative text wide experience and expertise in both the experimental and clinical neurosciences.
