The purpose of the study was to examine effect a very short intermittent exposure moderate hypoxia in hypobaric chamber on aerobic performance capacity at sea level and erythropoietic response. effects alone combined with low-intensity exercise were also compared.Seventeen members three high-altitude expeditions exposed over 9 d simulated altitude, which progressively increased from 4000 5500 m sessions ranging 3 5 h x d(-1). One group (N = 7; HE group) passive cycle ergometer. Another 10; H...
Abstract Background The Ecuadorian earthquake in April 16th was the second strongest and deadliest 2016 worldwide, with approximately one million people affected. In this paper, we analyzed psychological impact relationship between mental health events various earthquake-related stressors related to earthquake, 9 months after event. Methods We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study, applying anonymous survey 316 adolescents (13–19 years old) from Muisne, Ecuador. Suicidal tendency,...

Analysis of excess mortality data at different altitudes during the COVID-19 outbreak in Ecuador. High Alt Med Biol. 22:406-416, 2021. Background: It has been speculated that living high altitude confers some risk reduction terms SARS-CoV-2 infection, reduced transmissibility, arguable lower COVID-19-related mortality....
Previous studies indicate that individuals at high altitudes have a lower pain threshold than those living sea level. This study evaluates the differences in perception among young people an altitude of 3800 m and after acute exposure to severe hypoxic environment more 5100 m. Fourteen (BMI 22.6 ± 1.2 age 23.3 1.9 years) residing city Puno (3825 m) participated ascent Populated Center La Rinconada (>5100 m). The unilateral ischemia provocation test was used, applying pressure with manual...
Normal mean values for hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, hematimetric indices, dimensions, glucose, urea, uric acid, cholesterol, creatinine, total bilirubin, serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine alkaline phosphatase, creatinine phosphokinase, lactic dehydrogenase, inorganic phosphorus, chloride, plasma protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium were obtained from the blood or of four Masai ostriches (Struthio camelus) when juveniles at 5 mo age...

Suicide affects people from different backgrounds, ethnical groups, socio-economic status and geographical locations. In Latin America, suicide reports arescarce, specially in Andean countries. Ecuador, very few have partially described this phenomenon, nonetheless, estimation of the burden disease (BoD) hasnever been reported country. A country-wide comparison was performed using Ministry Public Health's national databases overall mortality, Hospital Discharges Database, Population Census...
The reference values for lung function are associated to anatomical and morphology parameters, but anthropometry it is not the only influencing factor: altitude genetics two important agents affecting respiratory physiology. Altitude its influence on has been studied independently of genetics, considering early long-term acclimatization.
Reference values for some hematologic parameters in 19 species and plasma chemical 11 of Psittacine birds, including cockatoos, parrots, amazons, macaws, conures, lories, were established use veterinary medicine. The following studied: hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte number, mean corpuscular volume, hemoglobin, dimensions, leukocyte number differential count, glucose, urea, uric acid, cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine alkaline...
