Hypoxia: Translation in Progress: 903 (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Robert Roach is the Director of the Altitude Research Center at the University of Colorado. He specializes in the study of physiological adaptations by humans to high altitude, with a recent emphasis on the genomic responses to allow humans to thrive in hypoxia. 
Dr. Peter Wagner is a Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Bioengineering at the University of California, San Diego. His research addresses the theoretical and experimental basis of oxygen transport and its limitations in the lungs and skeletal muscles in health and disease. 
Dr. Peter Hackett is a world-renowned high altitude expert and altitude research pioneer. He is a leading authority on altitude illness, high altitude climbing, wilderness medicine, and the effects of altitude on people living and working in the mountains.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The latest in a series of books from the International Hypoxia Symposia,this volume spans reviews on key topics in hypoxia, and abstracts from posterand oral presentations. The biannual International Hypoxia Symposia arededicated to hosting the best basic scientific and clinical minds to focus onthe integrative and translational biology of hypoxia. Long before translational medicine was a catchphrase, the founders of the InternationalHypoxia Symposia brought together basic scientists, clinicians andphysiologists to live, eat, ski, innovate and collaborate in the CanadianRockies.

This collection of reviews and abstracts is divided into six sections,each covering new and important work relevant to a broad range of researchersinterested in how humans adjust to hypoxia, whether on the top of Mt. Everestor in the pulmonary or cardiology clinic at low altitude. The sections include:

• Epigenetic Variations in Hypoxia
  
• High Altitude Adaptation
  
• Hypoxia and Sleep
  
• Hypoxia and the Brain
  
• Molecular Oxygen Sensing
  
• Physiological Responses to Hypoxia
