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 ...
Deaths are caused by a direct effect of current on the heart, resulting in ventricular fibrillation, on respiratory muscles resulting in respiratory paralysis or on the brainstem respiratory centers. Deaths may also be caused by thermal effects of current, or by trauma or drowning associated with ...
Large animals, such as cattle and horses, because of the distance between front and hind feet, are at particular risk from the effects of ‘stride voltage’.19 View chapterExplore book The Great Debate on Electrical Safety—In Retrospect Malcolm G. Ridgway, in Clinical Engineering Handbook, ...
What are some common effects of electric shocks? The effect an electric injury has on a person can vary due to a variety of circumstances such as the strength of the voltage, which parts of the body are in contact with the electric current, whether the person is damp or wet and the len...
don't ask all of the necessary questions about what happened and only what x's and o's: just write anything anywhere you want to so that you explain how you go hurt and what body parts are hurting; on the body chart, circle your low back and write "back pain that shoots down my ...
Deaths are caused by a direct effect of current on the heart, resulting in ventricular fibrillation, on respiratory muscles resulting in respiratory paralysis or on the brainstem respiratory centers. Deaths may also be caused by thermal effects of current, or by trauma or drowning associated with ...
This instrument is portable, much cheaper, more efficient, consumes less electric power and it is pollution free, free from Chemical side effects, has no poisonous fragrance. It is an easy solution to live a healthy life. This is more useful for conference halls, Dormitories, big Auditorium ...
The outcome depends largely on a combination of these factors. Objective assessment of the effects of mitigating measures, in particular wire marking, is required. The mitigating efforts should be directed against species known to be potential collision victims, and their design should be the result...
Postoperation chemotherapy and radiation therapy are widely applied to clear the residual cancer cells but induce serious side effects. It is urgent to develop advanced therapy to minimize systemic toxicity while maintaining efficient cancer-killing ability. Herein, we report a degenerate layered double ...
