Chronic Carbon Monoxid Poisoning-A Present-Day Hazard.

Patients With Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Subsequent Dementia

The present study evaluated the dementia risk after carbon monoxide poisoning (CO poisoning). Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, a total of 9041 adults newly diagnosed with CO poisoning from 2000 to 2011 were identified as the CO poisoning cohort. Four-fold (N = 36,160) of non-CO poisoning insured people were randomly selected as controls, frequency-matched by age,...

Carbon tetrachloride poisoning as a hazard of wig cleaning.

Effects of trophic poisoning with methylmercury on the appetitive elements of the agonistic sequence in fighting-fish (Betta splendens).

The aggressive display in Betta splendens is particularly prominent, and vital to its adaptation to the environment. Methylmercury is an organic variation of Hg that presents particularly pronounced neuro-behavioral effects. The present experiments aim to test the effect of acute and chronic poisoning with methylmercury on the display in Bettas. The animals were poisoned by trophic means in bot...

A Rare Cause of Chronic Headache that May Be Misdiagnosed as Migraine: Chronic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Differential diagnosis of primary headache disorders can be challenging for physicians. Although the association of headache with acute carbon monoxide intoxication is very well-defined, in refractory nonspecific headaches associated with chronic low dose exposure to carbon monoxide, CO intoxication is usually overlooked, mostly due to vague symptoms. Herein we present a 15-year-old female pati...

Assessment of Carbon Monoxide at Traffic Signals, Toll Plazas and in Main Roadside Built Houses and Impact of Its Chronic Exposure on Public Health

A survey based citizen Science research of Carbon monoxide levels was conducted in Navi Mumbai, particularly at various Toll Plazas and Traffic signals. Carbon Monooxide levels were assessed in roadside built houses. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion of organic matter due to insufficient oxygen supply to enable complete oxidation to carbon dioxide (CO2). It was found out tha...
