............................

Once again we are proud to invite you to a friendly scientific gathering, continuing our tradition of Chronic Hypoxia Symposiums As you all know we are in the city of La Paz, the World Capital of Hypoxia and the Shrine of Hypoxia Scientists.

The conferences take place in different locations so that the attendees will be able to appreciate life at high altitude and pose themselves a new focus of chronic hypoxia. Different disciplines apparently not related to chronic hypoxia can find outstanding stimulus and innovative concepts in these unique chronic hypoxia environments.

Prof. Johan Kofstad of Norway gave a talk during this symposium about the history of blood gases, the conflict of BE (Base Excess), the struggles between the Copenhagen School and the Boston School and mountaneering in Norway. He did not include the THID (Titratable Hydrogen Ion Difference) that should be used instead of BE, a term we introduced with Poul-Erik Paulev. You can find his interesting presentation here.
