Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, or Carbon Monoxide Protection? [PDF]
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a molecule generally presumed to be deleterious when inhaled at high concentrations, but is a marker of oxidative stress and inflammation when endogenously produced. Many reports1–3 have focused on increased endogenous CO production in pulmonary diseases, including asthma, COPD, acute pneumonia, and ARDS. In this issue of CHEST (

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in many countries, including Japan. Annually, CO poisoning claims about 2000-5000 lives in Japan, which is over half of the total number of poisoning deaths. This paper discusses the physicochemical properties of CO and the toxicological evaluation of CO poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas existing in a miniscule concentration in the atmosphere (< 0.001%), and is a product of partial combustion. Carbon monoxide poisoning is associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Symptoms are usually non-specific and include fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting,

The onset of autumn and cooler weather traditionally heralds the start of another season in the northern hemisphere—the peak incidence of unintentional deaths from carbon monoxide. Each year around 50 people in the United Kingdom die from carbon monoxide poisoning, and a year ago the chief medical officer warned again of the dangers.1 As yet there is ...

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]
Carbon monoxide is a common domestic and industrial poison which may be lethal. Survivors can develop permanent neuropsychiatric disability. The mechanisms of toxicity are poorly understood and the traditional criteria used to determine the severity of the poisoning have low predictability. Oxygen is the recommended antidote to carbon monoxide, but it

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]
Audience: This oral boards case is appropriate for all emergency medicine learners (residents, interns, and medical students). Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that typically results from combustion. It binds hemoglobin, dissociating oxygen, causing headache, weakness, confusion and possible seizure or coma.

This study explores a process chain to produce dispersoid‐strengthened CuCr1Zr for applications requiring high strength and conductivity. Using gas‐atomized powder and copper‐plated alumina nanoparticles, additive manufacturing is performed via powder bed based additive manufacturing with green and red lasers, followed by heat treatment.

The ultraselective H2S detection of the ZIF‐L/SnS2 heterostructure is demonstrated. The introduction of 2‐dimensional (2D) breathable ZIF‐L results in a substantial increase in H2S selectivity attributable to the molecular sieving effect, which impedes the permeation of gases with large kinetic diameters and high polarity.
