Dysphagia following lightning strike
Dysphagia, 1988Numerous articles on the topic of neurologic, cardiac, and burn complications following electrical injury have appeared in the literature since 1934 [1]. Specific mention of dysphagia as a complication of survivors of this type of injury was not found on literature review. For this reason our case is of particular interest.

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1994
A case is presented of a teen-aged athlete who sustained a direct lightning strike to the head while wearing a football helmet. The helmet, the presence of sweat, and aggressive resuscitation were instrumental in his survival and complete recovery. This appears to be the first documentation of a lightning strike to an individual wearing protective ...

Analysis on Lightning Striking Selectivity and Lightning Protection
Advanced Materials Research, 2014According to the national standard (GB-50057-1994) of lightning protection design, we can calculate the number of lightning ground flash density around them. However, this technique would have some defects. In order to improve the predicting accuracy of the lightning striking of tall buildings, there are three methods, i.e.

Neuropathology of Lightning-strike Injuries
Seminars in Neurology, 1995When a person is struck by lightning a spectrum of neurologic damage can result. Approximately one third of the strikes prove to be fatal. The possibility of damage to the CNS relates to the type of lightning injury (direct strike, stride potential, or side flash), the intensity and duration of the current, the pathway of the current within the body ...
