Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause serious damage to brain and myocardium. The sites more commonly affected in the brain are globus Pallidus, caudate nucleus, putamen, thalamus and cerebral white matter. The authors present a case of Carbon Monoxide poisoning in a 33 year old previously healthy ...
Lower temperatures can bring higher risk of carbon monoxide poisoning Carbon monoxide (CO), sometimes referred to as the silent killer, causes more than 100,000 emergency department visits in the United States and more than 400 deaths each year. In Utah, there were 276 emergency department ......
Carbon monoxide (CO) causes not only acute fatal poisoning but also may cause a delayed neurologic syndrome called delayed encephalopathy (DE), which occasionally occurs after an interval of several days to several weeks post-exposure. However, the mechanisms of DE have not been fully elucidated....

For example, the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) and organic compounds with one (e.g., CH3OH, HCOOH, and CH4) and two carbon atoms (e.g., HOOCCOOH, HCOCOOH, and CH3CH2OH) is of interest for the storage of solar energy in chemical bonds [...
pods, the visitors experienced uneasiness and shortness of breath as each pod contained carefully mixed recipes emulating the relative presence of ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide – the toxic ingredients that are polluting our cities and poisoning our ...
We do not however live in optimum conditions and our electro-magnetic systems can become confused as we try to respond to the plethora of signals in our everyday environment; the challenges of our modern diet; the ‘stress’ we all feel under as we race about our daily lives. ...
The initial step in heme breakdown opens the heme ring at the α-methene bridge and produces equimolar amounts of biliverdin, iron and carbon monoxide (CO) (Figure 1). Biliverdin is further converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase (BVR) and excreted from the liver to biliary canali...
