BACKGROUND Highway vehicle CO emissions have decreased 85% since introduction of the catalytic converter in 1975. We sought to examine whether morbidity and mortality from intentional motor vehicle-related CO poisoning have also changed. METHODS Vehicle CO emissions data from 1970-2013 were obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...

In a prospective study on 178 cases of accidental home poisoning admitted to the main children's hospital in Riyadh poisoning was found to account for 5.6% of the total annual admissions--greater than any other developing country and approaching Western proportions. The commonest ages were between 1 and 5 years. Drugs accounted for 52% of cases and household products for 46%. This picture also ...

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is still a health problem all over the world. Informing users about symptoms and suggesting annual inspection of CO producing devices will result in CO poisoning reduction. The goal of this study was to evaluate awareness about CO poisoning symptoms and its prevention ways in Iranian population. In this study, a total of 700 patients' family members attended Imam ...

s | 99 Conclusions: This will be the first study to expose diurnal and seasonal patterns that differentiate alcohol related deliberate self-poisoning from non-alcohol related deliberate selfpoisoning, and to statistically model the influence of alcohol co-ingestion. Patterns specific to Alc+ behaviour may elucidate chronotherapeutic prevention strategies and shed light on the role of alcohol in...

BACKGROUND Two counter trends in injury mortality have been separately reported in the US in recent times - a declining suicide rate and a rapidly rising unintentional poisoning mortality rate. Poisoning suicides are especially difficult to detect, and injury of undetermined intent is the underlying cause-of-death category most likely to reflect this difficulty. We compare suicide and poisoning...

a treatise on the modern methods in the diagnosis and treatment of poisoning, written in German by Professor Leschke of the Berlin University. Both in India and Europe cases of poisoning, suicidal and homicidal, are on the increase. The ever-increasing use of poisons in industry, the increasing number of suicides and homicides with poisons due to world-wide social, political and economic upheav...

Relevance. Unreasonably high pollutant emissions into the environment, ill-considered use of natural resources and raw material orientation exports have led to an environmental crisis in many areas. Purpose. To study effect ecotoxicants on histochemical structure tooth jaw germs laboratory rats ways reduce this during perinatal prevention. Materials methods. The experiment included 50 white out...

The article presents a case of poisoning with lambda-cyhalothrin, synthetic pyrethroid, in family three (2 deaths at different times the course poisoning). A from our practice is interest not only point view frequency occurrence this type poisoning, but also as an example complex diagnostic process, including analysis circumstances, clinical data and set post-mortem studies, taking into account...
