The pressure will rise to the point where the it overcomes the resisting pressure of the compressed artery and blood is allowed through, providing oxygen to the hypoxic area of the brain.

Dead fishies from the hypoxic area?

Researchers said that by late summer the lobsters, in moving away from hypoxic areas, crowded more closely together, only to be overtaken by hypoxia again.

Dead zone - Dead zones are hypoxic areas in the world's oceans, the observed incidences of which have been increasing since oceanographers began noting them in the 1970s.

This effect linked to inflammation is not only seen in tumors, but in hypoxic area of cardiac muscles following a myocardial infarction (MI or heart attack).

In general, solid tumors are characterized by hypoxic areas in the tumor core.

Figure of hypoxic area from 2007.

Intravenously injected clostridial spores exhibit a specificity for tumours, colonising the hypoxic areas of the tumours.

With the proliferation of the bacteria in the necrotic and hypoxic areas of the tumour, the enzyme is expressed solely in the tumour.

Thus, tirapazamine is activated to its toxic form preferentially in the hypoxic areas of solid tumors.
