Community transmission of coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) was detected in the state Washington February 2020. We identified patients from nine Seattle-area hospitals who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with confirmed infection severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Clinical data obtained through review medical records. The reported here are those available March 23, Each patient had at least 14 days follow-up. 24 Covid-19. mean (±SD) age 64±18 years, 63% men,...
Roach, Robert C., Peter H. Hackett, Oswald Oelz, Bärtsch, Andrew M. Luks, Martin J. MacInnis, Kenneth Baillie, and The Lake Louise AMS Score Consensus Committee. 2018 Acute Mountain Sickness Score. High Alt Med Biol 19:1-4, 2018.- (AMS) scoring system has been a useful research tool since first published in 1991. Recent studies have shown that disturbed sleep at altitude, one of the five symptoms scored for AMS, is more likely due to altitude hypoxia per se, not closely related AMS. To...
Rationale: No direct comparisons of clinical features, laboratory values, and outcomes between critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) influenza in the United States have been reported.Objectives: To evaluate risk mortality comparing COVID-19 seasonal influenza.Methods: We retrospectively identified admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) at two academic medical centers laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or A B infections January 1,...

High altitude (HA)-induced pulmonary hypertension may be due to a free radical-mediated reduction in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. We hypothesised that the increase artery systolic pressure (PASP) at HA would associated with net transpulmonary output of radicals and corresponding loss bioactive NO metabolites. Twenty-six mountaineers provided central venous radial arterial samples low (LA) following active ascent 4559 m (HA). PASP was determined by Doppler echocardiography, blood flow...
