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...

Longevity of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: implications for clinical practice and health care systems.

Sep 2008 AIMS: Comparative studies on the longevity of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) among different manufacturers have never been reported. Longevity of ICD devices implanted from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2002 was prospectively ... Read more...

A material flow of lithium batteries in Taiwan.

14 Jul 2008 Li batteries, including secondary and cylindrical/button primary Li batteries, are used worldwide in computers, communications and consumer electronics products. However, there are several dangerous issues that occur during the manufacture, ... Read more...
