This paper proposes a variable-modulus injectionlocked frequency multiplier for better harmonic suppression. It is more suitable for fully-integrated implementation using low-Q on-chip inductors in digital CMOS than conventional approaches. A prototype dual-modulus frequency doubler/tripler with 1.6GHz input and 3.2GHz/4.8GHz output is implemented in a 0.18 m standard digital CMOS. At 5% lockin...

In Veterinary Medicine, suspected poisoning often cannot be detected and certified by a Toxicology Laboratory due to many procedural errors and unclear requests for analysis. Therefore, the current study provides guidelines to obtain a definitive diagnosis on poisoning in domestic animals illustrating the multi-step approach to achieve such goal. The Authors describe the components and procedur...

Method Data were extracted from the Annual Reports of the Registrar General for Scotland between 1990 and 1996. The three digit ICD9 codes relevant to drug related deaths are E950 (“Suicide and self inflicted poisoning by solid or liquid substances”), E980 (“Poisoning by solid or liquid substances, undetermined whether accidentally or purposely inflicted”), 304 (“Drug dependence”), and 305 (“No...

BACKGROUND Organophosphate poisoning is a major public health problem in South Africa. Individuals get exposed to organophosphate in both the domestic and industrial spheres. METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective, secondary data of organophosphate poisoning cases over a 3-year period, reported at the Tshwane District surveillance office. Data were analysed using Mic...

The prognosis of paraquat (PQ) poisoning is highly correlated to plasma PQ concentration, which has been identified as the most important index in PQ poisoning. This study investigated the predictive value of coagulation, liver, and kidney indices in prognosticating PQ-poisoning patients, when aligned with plasma PQ concentrations. Coagulation, liver, and kidney indices were first analyzed by v...

introduction: toxic mushrooms are distributed across the globe with over 5000 species. among them, 100 species are responsible for most of the cases of mushroom poisoning. this study aimed to evaluate the epidemiologic pattern of mushroom poisoning among patients referred to the main toxicology center of mashhad province located in north-east of iran. method: this cross-sectional study was cond...

CASE REPORT In this paper, two possible cases of acute carbon monoxide poisoning previously not identified in the medical and historical literature are discussed. The first concerns the famous Byzantine Emperor Julian the Apostate, who may have suffered mild carbon monoxide poisoning from which he quickly and completely recovered. The second case involves his successor, Jovian, who may have suc...

Poisoning is the last consequence of drug action that harmful to body. It may be due overdose or prolonged use a drug. Any substance causes deleterious, unwanted and effects on body called poison. can acute chronic. Short time exposure poison poisoning whereas repeated, long term continuous chronic poisoning. In poisoning, symptoms not seen after each period. Poison cause when they are orally t...
