Dissociation of CO from carboxyhemoglobin. [PDF]
The reaction between carboxyhemoglobin and reduced microperoxidase (MP): Hb4(CO)4 + 4MP=Hb4 + 4MPCO, recently reported by us, has been further studied. By generating species Hb4(CO), Hb4(CO)2, and Hb(CO)3 in the stopped flow cuvette by the reaction of dithionite with the species of the general formula Hb4(O2)x(CO)y(x + y=4) in the presence of ...

Incidence and risk factors for carbon monoxide poisoning in an emergency department in Nepal
Incidence of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in Nepal has not been studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate baseline carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentrations, population risk factors, and incidence of CO poisoning at a single hospital in Nepal.
