This paper examines the symptoms, pathophysiology, genetics, prevention, and treatment of HAPE. It also includes a brief overview on its manifestation in children and the radiographic spectrum of the disease. This review also addresses some of the cases of high-altitude pulmonary edema. High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), is a life-threatening condition where there is fluid accumulated in the lungs. HAPE is a condition where the effects are completely reversible, which is why it is crucial for patients to have adequate and timely treatment. High altitude pulmonary edema, (HAPE), is a non-cardiogenic form of edema that can be life-threatening if not …

In studies that have reported device-based measures of sedentary time (ST) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we explored if the monitor type and monitor wear time moderated the estimate of this measure. Five electronic databases were searched in January 2021. Studies were included if >70% of participants had stable COPD, and measures of ST (min/day) were collected using wearable technology. Meta-regression was used to examine the influence of moderators on ST, monitor type, and wear time. The studies identified were a total of 1153, and 36 had usable data for meta-analyses. The overall pooled estimate of ST …
