Fuerteventura and Lanzarote islands (Canary Islands), where the stronghold is on the Fuerteventura Island (over 90% of the population). The main causes of non-natural mortality that have contributed to its population decline are electrocutions or collisions with power lines, shooting and poisoning (...
The animals were euthanized by electrocution after an experimental period of 90 days and bone specimens were sampled during necropsy. Before histological analysis, all femora (n = 30) were measured and weighted by a sliding instrument and analytical scales. Only the right femur was used for histol...
Baking soda is much uncomplicated; in fact, it only consists of one ingredient, sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is a base that reacts when it comes in contact with acid substances such as buttermilk, vinegar oryogurt. The reaction produces carbon dioxide as evidenced by the bubbles you s...
This chapter describes the clinical and pathological effects of electricity on the human body. It describes the pathophysiology of electrical injury and differences between various modes of electric shock. The effects of lightning, microwaves, and conducted energy weapons such as Taser are also ...

Once the 60 d feeding period ended, the feed and water were removed for 12 h. Lambs were desensitized by electrocution and slaughtered via exsanguination by slitting their throats in the municipal slaughterhouse of Salinas de Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, México, under veterinary inspection accordin...
Lambs were desensitized by electrocution and slaughtered via exsanguination by slitting their throats in the municipal slaughterhouse of Salinas de Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, México, under veterinary inspection according to the Mexican Official Standard NOM 033 [22]. Immediately, the weight of the ...
During periods of heavy rains and droughts, floods expose populations to the risk of drowning and traumatic pathologies: bruises, cuts or sprains, burns, electrocutions, snake bites, and wound infections [4]. The impact of the increase in traumatic pathologies has been described in tropical ...
Mortality was also attributed to: trauma, injury, heart attack, electrocution, burns, carbon monoxide poisoning and car crash (see Figure 5) [19,35,36,48,49,52]. Studies from France [19], England and Wales [22], Germany [18,34], and the US [22], detailed during-flood-event ...
