0 a condition in which there is not enough oxygen available to the blood and body tissues: --
Hypoxia can result in an increase in the production of erythropoietin.
This process, in addition to sustained or episodic hypotension may induce cerebral hypoperfusion, ischaemia and hypoxia.
In contrast, the effects of striatal injuries are evident in childhood, and the caudate is highly vulnerable to hypoxia and ischemia.
End-stage hypoxia in this condition is manifest by a score of either 2/10 or 0/10.
This exacerbates hypoxia, which can promote tumour angiogenesis by enhancing the production of proangiogenic factors.
In mammals, nitric oxide stimulates increased blood flow to areas where hypoxia occurs.
Relative hypoxia is a potent vasodilator in the coronary, cerebral, and adrenal beds, but a vasoconstrictor in the pulmonary bed.
Also, gas exchange is affected, with a reduced awareness of the response to hypoxia and hypercapnia as described later.
Factors that promote cellular dehydration, tissue hypoxia, and leukocyte or endothelial cell activation are all involved in generating vaso-occlusion.
