Over the last decade the science and medicine of high altitude and hypoxia adaptation has seen great advances. High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia addresses the challenges in dealing with the changes in human physiology and the particular medical conditions that arise from exposure to high altitude. In-depth and comprehensive chapters cover both the basic science and the clinical consequences of exposure to high altitude. Genetic, cellular, organ and whole body system responses to high altitudes are covered and chapters discuss these effects on a wide range of diseases. Expert authors provide insight into the care of patients with pre-existing medical conditions that fail in some cases to adapt as well as offer insights into how high altitude research can help critically ill patients. High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia is an important new volume that offers a window into greater understanding and more successful treatment of hypoxic human diseases.

This book explores how the lungs function across a spectrum of environments that humans inhabit and/or sometimes find themselves transiently experiencing. The objective of the book is to define the impact of various environments on healthy lungs and how the changes in lung function may have an impact on clinical health. Each chapter is written by an expert author(s) and devoted to the many environmental conditions that humans experience, including high altitude, space, exercise, and underwater. One chapter explores the challenges faced by the respiratory systems of other vertebrate species inhabiting some of these same environments. Two chapters also address extremes in age and how the lungs function under those conditions. This is an ideal guide for practicing physicians in pulmonary and intensive care medicine, trainees, and researchers in the physiology and consequences of breathing in extreme environments.
