Altitude sickness

As both the Allied and Axis powers desperately needed new innovations in medicine, transport, science and communications, technological advancements flourished. Pressurised cabins were introduced in 1944 to combat the risk of hypoxia , altitude sickness and barotrauma ; this innovation has vastly improved modern methods of travel. Another major advance that came as a direct response to the new weaponry of WWII was in medicine, as penicillin became widely used to treat bacterial diseases and

strike many as being exposed to the extreme wind, snow, and lack of oxygen can cause a climber’s health to decline rapidly. (Jon Krakauer, the author of Into Thin Air, experienced this first hand when many of his teammates had fallen due to altitude sickness, the cold, or they get too exhausted).Those who climbed either K2 or Everest know that the steep inclines and extreme weather conditions can lead to death caused by exhaustion and/or exposure.

1.1) The MRC theory says after the first migration from Africa 1.8 million years ago, the different groups of humans in different part of the world slowly evolved in parallel with each other.

USA called for surrender from the Japanese armed forces on July 26, 1945 with threats of "prompt and utter destruction

theoretical example was actually tested to see the effects of simulating gravity for humans through use of a spinning centrifuge on Earth. The experiment’s design was to determine whether or not the subjects would develop an symptoms of AMS or acute motion sickness. (Antonutto, 1992) The researchers discovered that none of the subjects developed any symptoms as a result of the substitution of centripetal force for gravitational force.(Antonutto, 1992) This gives a lot of hope for that method of combatting muscular

Mom’s Wisdom Since I was a little girl my mother always taught to be strong, but in a mannerly way. She had to grow up quite fast, because she was born into a warzone, which made her very independent and strong at a young age.

When I was 16 I went on a mission trip to Peru with my mother. I was extremely anxious while boarding the 7 hour plane ride to a continent I’ve never been to. I had barely any idea of what we were going to do or where in Peru we were going. We landed in Lima after a long 7 hours in the middle seat. We met the others who were attending this mission trip at the airport after we landed. We took a terrifying cab ride back to the housing. The roads were incredibly busy and unorganized. The housing was
