چکیده
A 26-year-old shepherd man was admitted to the emergency department in June 2020 after ground current effect of lightning strike. With severity trauma, patient fell and then fainted. Since trauma not known exactly, there an open wound head, had dyspnea elevated liver function tests, cranial, thorax abdominal computed tomography (CT) were performed.

During follow-up, tests returned normal. Liver laceration managed conservatively. discharged on 6th day hospitalization, as no complications or massive bleeding signs observed his vital stabilized, symptoms improved.

Electromagnetic Field Due to Lightning Strikes to Mountainous Ground
The produced electric and magnetic fields due to lightning strikes to mountainous ground are determined in this paper. For the sake of simplicity a cone-shaped ground with finite conductivity is assumed to represent a natural nonflat ground. By this assumption, we deal with an axillary symmetrical structure so we use the cylindrical 2D-FDTD to save the simulation memory and time, dramatically. ...
متن کاملMyocardial infarction due to lightning strike.
Cardiac events due to lightning strike and their severity vary according to the strength of the electric current and the duration of exposure. The electrophysiological effects of lightning on the heart can result in ventricular fibrillation, asystole, QT prolongation, supraventricular tachycardia, and non-specific ST-T wave changes. In this report, a case of a patient who suffered myocardial in...

Lightning strike is one of the most frequent causes of death due to natural phenomena. In such cases, cardiac injury is the main cause of death, with type of lesion varying by type of impact. We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who was struck indirectly by lightning. Upon hospital admission, she showed both the echocardiographic disturbances characteristic of direct impact and electrocard...
