carbon monoxide (co) poisoning, though with different sources, is one of the most deadly emergencies in all countries. co can threaten men's life by several paths especially cardiac complications, which can mimic other cardiac problems such as myocardial infarction. the objective of this study was to determine ecg findings and serum troponin i levels in co poisoned patients. in this analytical ...

background: in 1999, duzce suffered two consecutive devastating earthquakes above magnitude 7 in august and november. in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the indoor air quality of coffeehouses by determining carbon monoxide (co) levels and their contributing factors in coffeehouses built before and after the earthquake. methods: we conducted our study in 76 turkish coffeehouses in duzce ...

carbon monoxide (co) poisoning is one of the most common causes of death in iran. the present study investigated the indoor and outdoor co concentrations at hospitals under the supervision of mazandaran university of medical sciences in sari, iran.indoor and outdoor measured co were conducted over a period of one month during the 2012 winter season in 4 hospital kitchens using a direct measurem...

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced as a by-product of incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide poisoning accounts for approximately 3500 deaths in the United States annually. Carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes from motor vehicles accounts for most deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning; however, poorly functioning heating systems, inhaled smoke, and propane-operated forklifts al...

Carbon monoxide can produce several nonspecific symptoms and can mimic several diseases. Most of the signs and symptoms are due to hypoxia, which affects mainly the brain. The most significant neurologic and psychiatric manifestations of carbon monoxide poisoning are seen as subacute or late sequelae, often following a period of complete recovery from an acute episode. There is a possible inter...

The impact of low-level carbon monoxide exposure on ventricular arrhythmia frequency in patients with ischemic heart disease has not been thoroughly studied. The issue is of concern because of the potential proarrhythmic effect of carbon monoxide in patients with ischemic heart disease. We studied 30 subjects with well-documented coronary artery disease who had an average of at least 30 ventric...

background: this toxicological investigation involves a report on the death of four ‎occupants of a sport utility vehicle on one of the major busy federal roads of nigeria ‎where they were held for up to three hours in a traffic jam while the car was steaming.‎ methods: autopsy was executed using the standard procedure and toxicological ‎analysis was done using simple spectrophotometric method ...

conclusions in patients without clear signs of myocardial infarction, even mild co poisoning was associated with quantifiable circulating levels of hs-ctnt when tnt was measured using a highly sensitive assay in the current study patients. plasma levels of the hs-tnt and ck-mb assays were not correlated with the cohb levels in the current study patients. results the mean age of the patients was...

the aim of this study was to define the electrocardiogram (ecg) changes following the moderate to severe co intoxication in rats, and also evaluating the effect of erythropoietin (epo) on observed cardiac disturbances. the growing literature on erythropoietin effect on cardiac ischemia led us to question its effect on cardiotoxicity due to the carbon monoxide poisoning. wistar rats were exposed...
