Alternatively, people presenting late with signs and symptoms of coma, hyperkalemia, seizures, or severe acidosis have a poor prognosis. [17] People who develop severe central nervous system manifestations or stroke who survive may have long term neurologic dysfunction; in some cases they may recover, although convalescence may be prolonged.
Antifreeze was developed to overcome the shortcomings of water as a heat transfer fluid. On the other hand, if the engine coolant gets too hot, it might boil while inside the engine, causing voids (pockets of steam), leading to localized hot spots and the catastrophic failure of the engine. If plain water were to be used as an engine coolant in ...
An example of postinflammatory hypopigmentation (the light white patches) about one year after a severe aerosol burn. Depending on the duration of exposure aerosol-induced frostbite can vary in depth. Most injuries of this type only affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin.
When 105 people died in 15 states during the months of September and October, the trail led back to the elixir, and the toxic potential of this chemical was revealed. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] [ 24 ] This episode was the impetus for the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. [ 25 ]
At least one person died from hypothermia: a dangerous condition that can occur when a person is exposed to extreme cold temperatures. The cold weather presents major threats to people of all ages.
Storms like the one on Tuesday only come along from once in a few decades to once in 100 years or more. Milton, Florida, set a new state record with this storm as 9.8 inches of snow fell, breaking ...
Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol [7]) with the formula (CH 2 OH) 2.It is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations.
Climate change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas, a new study finds. Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20% more slowly — meaning more people stay hot longer — and they are happening 67% more often, according to a study ...
