Cases of Persons Struck by Lightning

T he accidents which occur from lightning are generally so instantaneously fatal, that no room is afforded for medical treatment; and few cases I believe are on record, where there is any detail of the appearances in the dead bodies of those who have suffered. In this slight notice of the following cases, which occurred during one thunder-storm, I am sorry I cannot do any thing to supply the la...

Struck-by-lightning deaths in the United States.

The objective of the research reported here was to examine the epidemiologic characteristics of struck-by-lightning deaths. Using data from both the National Centers for Health Statistics (NCHS) multiple-cause-of-death tapes and the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), which is maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the authors calculated numbers and annualized rates of lightnin...

Struck by lightning or slowly suffocating – gendered trajectories into depression

BACKGROUND In family practice depression is a common mental health problem and one with marked gender differences; women are diagnosed as depressed twice as often as men. A more comprehensive explanatory model of depression that can give an understanding of, and tools for changing, this gender difference is called for. This study explores how primary care patients experience, understand and exp...

Calculation of Transient Potential Rise on the Wind Turbine Struck by Lightning

A circuit model is proposed in this paper for calculating the transient potential rise on the wind turbine struck by lightning. The model integrates the blade, sliding contact site, and tower and grounding system of the wind turbine into an equivalent circuit. The lightning current path from the attachment point to the ground can be fully described by the equivalent circuit. The transient poten...
