DEATH BY AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Diabetes unmasked by electric shock.

Following an accidental electric shock, a boy with no previous symptoms developed hyperglycaemia, rapidly evolving into diabetes. He was aglycosuric for 24 hours after the shock. Islet cell antibodies were shown shortly after the accident. Although destined to develop diabetes, it seems likely that the electric shock unmasked impaired glucose tolerance. Glucose homoeostasis should be monitored ...

An Unusual Complication from an Electric Shock

Electron Heating by the Cross-shock Electric Potential Electron Heating by the Cross-shock Electric Potential

Electrons can experience super-adiabatic heating at a collisionless shock due to the presence of a cross-shock electric potential. This heating can greatly exceed the temperature rise associated with the conservation of the magnetic moment of the electrons as they move into the stronger magnetic eld downstream of the shock. The criterion for the onset of super-adiabatic heating and the eeects o...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Electric shock during pregnancy.

QUESTION A 24-year-old patient of mine, who was 23 weeks pregnant at the time, suffered a minor electric shock while using her hair dryer. She said she felt the current in her right hand and she was wearing shoes. She was observed in an emergency room for several hours and then discharged home. Is her pregnancy or fetus at risk now or later in the pregnancy? ANSWER There are conflicting repor...
