Lightning Injuries

Southern Medical Journal, 2002
Lightning strikes may cause a constellation of injuries. Blunt head trauma, neurologic injury, and cardiac injury are common in these patients. In contrast to high-voltage electrocutions, blunt trauma after a lightning strike is common. Thorough evaluation of all organ systems is crucial.

A Lightning in the Face

2023
Abstract This chapter presents the case of an old woman who suffers from facial pain characterized by intense attacks, limited to the right side of the face, involving the cheek, upper and lower lips, and the underlying gums, lasting fractions of a seconds, and sometimes occurring in bursts.

Seasonality and trends in human- and lightning-caused wildfires ≥ 2 ha in Canada, 1959–2018

, 2020
We examined the seasonal distribution of lightning- and human-caused wildfires ≥ 2 ha in Canada for two time periods: 1959–2018 and 1981–2018. Furthermore, we investigated trends in seasonality, number of fires per year and number of days with fire ...

Fatalities related to lightning occurrence and agriculture in Bangladesh

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2019
Large numbers of Bangladesh lightning fatalities during the pre-monsoon season have resulted in speculation about causes for this annual event. The present study addresses the situation with lightning occurrence, lightning fatality, and agricultural data.

A terrestrial gamma-ray flash and ionospheric ultraviolet emissions powered by lightning

Science, 2019
Gamma-ray flash from a lightning leader Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are millisecond pulses of gamma rays produced by thunderstorms. Neubert et al. observed a TGF from above, using instruments on the International Space Station.

Effects of Lightning Channel Equivalent Impedance on Lightning Performance of Overhead Transmission Lines

IEEE transactions on electromagnetic compatibility (Print), 2019
Modeling of lightning return-stroke channel affects significantly the estimation of fast-front overvoltages arising across overhead line insulators, thus, also the lightning performance of power lines.
