Incidence of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in Nepal has not been studied. The objective this study was to evaluate baseline carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentrations, population risk factors, and incidence CO at a single hospital Nepal. This prospective, observational patients presenting Patan Hospital Emergency Department from April 2019 March 2020. Demographics, factors for poisoning, symptoms...

BACKGROUND Methods used at an index episode of non-fatal self-harm may predict risk of future suicide. Little is known of suicide risk associated with most recent non-fatal method, and whether or not change in method is important. METHODS A prospective cohort of 30,202 patients from the Multicentre Study of Self-harm in England presenting to six hospitals with self-harm, 2000-2007, was follow...

OBJECTIVES To determine accidental factors, clinical presentation and medical care in cases of seafarers presenting phosphine poisoning symptoms on board a bulk carrier. To consider primary prevention of this pathology, which can have extremely severe consequences. METHODS To analyse circumstances resulting in toxic exposure to phosphine in the sea transport sector. To obtain information from...

Background Formic acid (formate) is the main reason for toxicity and death through methanol poisoning. The simultaneous determination of methanol, ethanol, and formate in the body can help to discover the cause of death and is useful in the diagnosis of acute methanol poisoning. The measurement of formate is not yet available in Iran. With regard to the increasing rate of methanol poisoning and...

Hydrogen oxidation has been studied on a carbon-supported plat inum gas diffusion electrode in a phosphoric acid electrolyte in the presence of carbon monoxide and oxygen in the feed gas. The poisoning effect of carbon monoxide present in the feed gas was measured in the temperature range from 80 to 150~ It was found that throughout the temperature range, the potential loss due to the CO poison...

Recording deaths from acute poisoning/substance abuse is not straightforward. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD), used to code mortality statistics, is aimed towards recording the underlying cause of death such as suicide or drug dependence rather than gathering data on poisoning per se. Despite the inherent difficulties clear trends can be observed from the data available for E...

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is still the most widely used process for controlling NOx gas pollution. Specifically, commercial vanadium-based catalysts have problems such as narrow operating temperature range and environmental Researchers developed a series of cerium-based with good oxygen storage performance excellent redox CeO2. However, anti-poisoning catalyst key to its application. ...
