Toxicity associated with carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is an insidious poison that accounts for thousands of deaths each year in North America. Clinical effects maybe diverse and include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting,syn-cope, seizures, coma, dysrhythmias, and cardiac ischemia. Children, pregnant women, and patients who have underlying cardiovascular disease are particularly at risk for adverse out-comes. Treatment consists ...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide production associated with ineffective erythropoiesis.
The rate of endogenous carbon monoxide production ( Vco), determined by the closed rebreathing system technique, was elevated above the normal range in four of five patients studied with ineffective erythropoiesis (four patients with primary refractory anemia, one with thalassemia). The mean molar ratio of Vco to Vheme (rate of circulating heme catabolism, determined from (51)Cr red cell surviv...
متن کاملDelayed restricted diffusion in carbon monoxide leukoencephalopathy.
to a wide range of neurological symptoms, ranging from headaches, dizziness and altered mental status to coma. The basis for this is thought to be hypoxia. Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding to hemoglobin (Hb) and once bound, shifts the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, thus impairing off-loading of oxygen molecules, leading to hypoxia . A sizable minority of CO poison...
متن کاملFacilitated diffusion. The case of carbon monoxide.
An application of a singular perturbation method to the case of carbon monoxide similar to that used previously for the case of oxygen (MURRAY, J. D., Proc. Roy. SOC. London B Biol. Sci., 178, 95 (1971)) shows that the absence of any observed facilitation of diffusion of this ligand by either hemoglobin or myoglobin in all of the experiments so far performed results from the very high affinity ...
متن کاملCarbon Monoxide Reduction of Iron Ore
C ERTAIN attention is paid today to the weaknesses of the classical blast furnace process, and interest is continuously increasing in methods for direct reduction without melting. Several different methods have been developed or suggested in the past, but so far only a few have been adopted for practical use. Another tendency in the iron industry of today is the change-over to concentrates, wit...
