Dying to play video games: carbon monoxide poisoning from electrical generators used after hurricane Ike.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common after major storms because of loss of electrical power and use of alternate fuel sources for heat and electricity. In past epidemics of hurricane-related CO poisoning, the source has typically ... Read more...

Increased long-term mortality among survivors of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: Recent data suggest that patients surviving acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning (COP) may have increased risk for long-term mortality. The objective of this study was to analyze long-term mortality of a large population of CO-poisoned ... Read more...

[Acute poisoning with carbon monoxide (CO) and cyanide (CN)]

29 Apr 2009 A critical analysis of acute CO and CN poisonings evidences that the lone toxicological similarity between CO and CN is their ability to avidly bind iron ions in the different hemoproteins. Otherwise, CO is a stable not-metabolized molecule while CN ... Read more...
