Thyrotoxic hypokalemic paralysis: a case report
Transient periodical muscle paralysis is an important neurological presentation. Thyrotoxic hypokalemic paralysis is an uncommon type of thyrotoxic paralysis. Except for the findings specifically caused by the subtle hyperthyroid state the clinical and biochemical features of thyrotoxic hypokalemic paralysis are identical to those of familial periodic paralysis. In this article, a case of a 26 ...
متن کاملCross Entropy-Based High-Impedance Fault Detection Algorithm for Distribution Networks
The low fault current of high-impedance faults (HIFs) is one of the main challenges for the protection of distribution networks. The inability of conventional overcurrent relays in detecting these faults results in electric arc continuity that it causes the fire hazard and electric shock and poses a serious threat to human life and network equipment. This paper presents an HIF detection algori...
متن کاملTransient Thermal Stresses Analysis in a FPGM Cylinder
The present study aims to investigate the analysis of stress, strain, displacement, and electrical potential of a thick hollow cylinder made of FGPM under mechanical and thermal loads. Distribution of mechanical property of material is considered along the shell stick through the power distribution function. Thermal loads have been taken to signify the difference of temperature between outer an...
متن کاملElevation of ventricular defibrillation threshold in dogs by antiarrhythmic drugs.
Effects of antiarrhythmic drugs upon the threshold delivered energy (TDE) and threshold peak current (TPC) for electrical ventricular defibrillation by damped sinusoidal shocks were investigated in 25 pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. TDE and TPC were increased by the three antiarrhytmic drugs tested. Bolus injections produced a transient rise and continuous infusions produced a steady rise in d...
متن کاملWhy Do GFCIs Keep Tripping?
As well known, ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are used to protect people from electric shock. Recently, a manufacturer installed variable speesd drives (VSDs) in all their products. After receiving feedback from their customers, they realized that their products would only work when powered through some GFCI outlets but not work when powered through others. To investigate this proble...
