Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the medical phenomena the author encountered in the 19th century while living in Mexico City, which sits at an altitude of 7,350 feet. The author posits that the thin air of high altitudes can result in a unique series of health problems. The author coined the term, "anoxyhemia," to describe this condition, in which the body produces fewer red blood cells. Aside from a discussion of this and other medical conditions, the author explores the ways in which the body compensates for reduced oxygen and how the body adapts to high altitudes. This book may be of interest to those studying the effects of altitude, the adaptation of indigenous peoples to high altitudes, and the history of medicine and science in the 1800s. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282182236_0
