nitrous oxidetoxicBackground Recreational use of nitrous oxide (N2O) has dramatically increased in recent years, resulting in numerous cases of acute sensorimotor tetraparesis secondary to nitrous oxide‐induced neuropathy (N2On). Challenging clinical features can mimic Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS), ...
Prolonged exposure to nitrous oxide will steal oxygen from brain cells, killing them in the process (apoptosis). The gas can also damage the protective covering of neurons called myelin, which may lead to long-term learning difficulties. But the real danger of huffing nitrous has little to do...

As the spark plug starts to fail, emissions can start to become elevated sometimes as early as 20,000 or 30,000 miles after replacement. Testing Converter Performance Now that you have learned about the different steps you can take to improve converter efficiency. Next, let’s look at how ...
Healthcare systems, meaning “all the organisations, institutions, people, resources and actions whose primary purpose is to improve, restore or maintain health” [11], are major contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions and their climate footprint is growing. Health Care Without Harm quantified...
There’s a significant influence of crop type on nitrous oxide emissions. With over 1.2 billion metric tons produced, maize is the most important grain, while also being the main source of GHG emissions from farming. Primarily, agricultural activities related to growing maize contribute to N2O ...
These systems actually help improve the accuracy of the gauge. Let's take a look at one of these systems. Microprocessor-controlled Gauges Some newer cars have a microprocessor that reads the variable resistor in the tank and communicates that reading to another microprocessor in the dashboard....
4.How are catalysts important to support our customers’ energy transition initiatives? We must start with what a catalyst does for our customers. Under the right design conditions, it can reduce pollutant precursors and improve fuel quality...
The implementation of the post-anaesthesia care units (PACUs) has the potential to improve patient safety and reduce the incidence of early postoperative complications and mortality, length of hospital stay and hospital costs. Increased availability of the PACU beds resulted in reduced utilisation of ...
There is a lot that farmers can do to improve agriculture's impact on the climate, but what about people who aren't farmers? 1. Change your diet This can be a tough change for some people, but it's the biggest tool we have at making a significant impact on agricultural systems. By...
