"Mitch Dorr/Sports writer The winter blahs hit the Cook County boy's basketball team this past week as they dropped three straight games.

The result can be mountain sickness, which is caused by a reduction in the amount of oxygen reaching the brain and muscles because of the lower atmospheric pressure at high elevations."

It reached a climax in July 2002 when the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) stunned the medical profession by prematurely halting a section of its randomized, controlled trial using a combination of estrogen and progesterone in a continuous combined manner, while continuing another section of the trial using estrogen alone.
