  • Altitude Sickness in Nepal Is About 1 in 30,000 Trekkers, Or 2-3 Deaths Per Year
    Shoreland Travax Medical Summary ALTITUDE ILLNESS INTRODUCTION Altitude illness occurs when one ascends more rapidly than the body can adjust ("acclimatize") to the reduced atmospheric pressure and decreased oxygen delivery to the body's cells at the higher altitude. Factors affecting acclimatization include the altitude attained, the rate of ascent, the duration of exposure, genetic predisposition, and certain preexisting conditions. (See "Acclimatization," "Risk," and "Effect of High Altitude on Preexisting Medical Conditions.") Altitude illness is generally divided into 3 syndromes: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), and high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). See "Syndromes and Symptoms." Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening. Although mild symptoms have been documented at relatively low altitudes of 1,200- 1,800 m (3,900-5,900 ft), serious syndromes are rarely seen below 2,500-3,000 m (8,200-9,800 ft). While death can occur from the more severe forms of altitude illness, most symptoms can be prevented or minimized by proper acclimatization and/or preventive medications. Risk and prevention strategies vary depending on the type of travel planned: travel to typical tourist destinations at relatively moderate heights or trekking in extreme high altitude situations. See "Risk of Altitude Illness" and "Prevention." ACCLIMATIZATION Acclimatization is a built-in adjustment mechanism that can optimize performance at higher altitudes. If a person ascends more rapidly than the body can adjust, symptoms occur that are referred to as altitude illness. Acclimatization seems to be determined by factors that are not known but may possibly be genetic. Some people adjust very easily to high altitude, while others cannot go above relatively moderate heights of 3,000 m (9,800 ft) without experiencing symptoms.

  • Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication Description
    OhioHealth Mansfield Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication is a surgical procedure intended to cure Esophagus gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Reflux disease is a disorder of the lower esophageal sphincter (the circular muscle at the base of the esophagus that serves as a barrier between the esophagus and stomach). When the LES malfunctions, acidic stomach contents are able to inappropriately reflux into the esophagus causing undesirable symptoms. The laparoscopic Nissen Esophageal Fundoplication involves wrapping a small portion of the stomach around the sphincter junction between the esophagus and stomach to augment the function of the Tightened LES. The operation effectively cures GERD with recurrence rates ranging from hiatus 5-10 percent over the life of the patient. Patients who experience a recurrence can be treated medically or undergo a redo laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication. The most common postoperative side effect of a laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication is gas bloating. A small percentage of patients (10-20 percent) will not be able to belch or vomit after surgery. Some patients may experience temporary difficult swallowing after surgery. Some patients may experience intermittent episodes of “dumping syndrome” due to Vagus nerve irritation or Top of stomach being excessive acid production in the stomach. wrapped around esophagus Patients are typically on a modified diet for a few weeks after surgery to allow time for healing of the surgical repair and recovery of the function of the esophagus and stomach.
