| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the extreme environment of high altitude hypoxia on olfactory threshold. The study was conducted before, during, and after a scientific expedition to Mera Peak (5,800 m). The n-butanol test was used for the assessment of the magnitude of the olfactory threshold. The finding was that the olfactory threshold dramatically increased at high altitude. We conclude that there is a physiological adaptation of olfaction due to altitude-hypoxia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 January 2015.
All research outputs
#12,844,363
of 22,766,595 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#1,721
of 4,928 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#115,091
of 255,754 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#15
of 95 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,766,595 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,928 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 255,754 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 95 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
