MR imaging of a patient 3-years status post-carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning revealed areas of abnormal signal bilaterally in the region of the globus pallidus that had shorter T1 characteristics and longer T2 characteristics than cerebrospinal fluid, probably representing methemoglobin, and that is surrounded by a rim of decreased signal on T2-weighted images, felt to represent hemosiderin. This...

In victims of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, metabolic acidosis has been considered a clinical finding of ominous prognostic importance. In previous studies, such patients either died or suffered serious neurologic sequelae, resulting in the recommendation by some authors that these patients require more complicated therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen and hypothermia. This report documents th...

Objective: The study aimed to measure the levels of total thiol, an antioxidant parameter, in patients who presented emergency department (ED) with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning under normobaric oxygen therapy (NBOT), evaluate time-dependent changes thiol within first 6 hours, and examine course antioxidants CO poisoning. 
 Materials Method: population consisted 85 diagnosed ED 50 volunte...

Aim: Acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a potentially mortal, though preventable, condition. Mild presents with non-specific symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, nausea and vomiting, whereas severe exposure to CO can result in loss of consciousness, coma, death. The aim this study was investigate the utility lactate carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels clinical presentation treatment patients a...

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT * Acute alcohol intoxication often complicates acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. * No data are available on how alcohol intoxication affects outcome in acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. * In particular, the relationships between plasma alcohol concentration and plasma organophosphorus concentration or outcome are unclear. WHAT THIS ...

Occupational carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning related to diesel motor fumes in an air-raid shelter (ARS) was first identified in Jinan City, China, in June 2015. A total of 17 cases were identified, including 14 possible cases of firemen and 3 confirmed cases of water channel clean-up workers. The overall attack rate (AR) of firemen was 42% (14/33). The firemen had a significantly higher AR with ...

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a major public health issue in the United States that accounts for approximately 50% of cases nation each year and around 50,000 emergency room visits. In most instances CO poisoning, culprit malfunctioning or poorly tended heating system within home or, occasionally, commercial building, which causes to leak this hazardous gas. One more insidious aspects gas o...

Sciences (ESFS) staff has conducted a limited, exploratory exercise to demonstrate the feasibility of using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to distinguish indoor and outdoor environments, with the intent of shutting down portable generator operation when a generator is used indoors. Through a series of experiments, ESFS staff demonstrated that a modified, off-the-shelf, commercially ...

Objective 1) To identify carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in three most affected New York State (NYS) counties (Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester) during and immediately after Hurricane Sandy with hospital emergency department (ED) chief complaint data reported daily to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). 2) To explore the relationship between power outage and the numbers of CO-relat...
