Abstract Livengood and Sytsma (2020) challenge the compositionality constraint of actual causation (CCAC), according to which each intermediary a causal chain is an effect its predecessor cause successor link. In several studies, they find support for their hypothesis that CCAC not in accordance with ordinary attributions laypeople. We argue there are three interrelated problems studies’ design...

BACKGROUND Symptoms in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoned patients have traditionally been described as being related to corresponding carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels without substantive support for the relationship. This study sought to determine whether prospectively collected symptoms correlate with specific COHB level ranges in a large population of CO-poisoned patients. METHODS Data from pati...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of the one-piece ostomy bags for severe organophosphate poisoned patients after catharsis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty cases of severe organophosphate poisoned patients who were given rhubarb catharsis after thorough nasal lavage were divided into two groups. The observation group used the one-piece ostomy bags whilst the control group used the disposable ...

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a triage method to prevent unnecessary emergency department visits of out-of-hospital poisoned patients. From October 2003 to September 2004, the calls that lay persons gave to the Seoul Emergency Medical Information Center to seek advice on the out-of-hospital poisoned patients were enrolled. We designed a triage protocol that consisted of five...

The administration of purified ethyl Iinoleate supplemented With or without alpha-tocopherol or pyridoxal phosphate to chronically CCI4 poisoned mice proved to be effective upon recovery from the liver damage. CC14 poisoning resulted in a dramatic decrease in total lipid content of mouse liver in each diet group and administration of ethyl linoleate promoted this tendency. Gas-liquid chromatogr...

The intensity of the "steady-state" fluorescence of "aerobic" Anacystis nidulans is variable under prolonged illumination with orange (590 mmu) or blue (440 mmu) light for both normally photosynthesizing and DCMU-poisoned cells. In general, orange light illumination causes an increase of the fluorescence intensity followed by a decrease, while blue light causes an increase until a steady level ...

objective(s) erythropoietin has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in a variety of cns injury models. elevation of serum s100β, as a glial damage marker and myelin basic protein (mbp) has been reported to occur in acute carbon monoxide (co) poisoning. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of erythropoietin (epo) on serum s100β and mbp levels after co poisoning in rats. mater...

background: there is no clear data on the adherence of emergency medical services (ems) paramedics and hospital staff rather than those working in poisoning centers to the guidelines for managing acutely poisoned patients in developing countries. methods: during a 6-month period, all ems-managed poisoned patients along with those initially managed in a non-poisoning center before being referred...
