Carbon monoxide intoxication.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, nonirritant gas that accounts for numerous cases of CO poisoning every year from a variety of sources of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. These include poorly functioning heating...
Odds Ratio Meta-Analysis and Increased Prevalence of White Matter Injury in Healthy Divers.
Abstract: Increased white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of high altitude aircrew and altitude chamber workers indicate that exposure to low ambient pressure (hypobaria) promotes white matter injury....
Sensorineural deafness following routine transurethral resection of the prostate.
Abstract: A man in his 50s presented to a rural Australian emergency department with complete unilateral hearing loss following transurethral resection of the prostate. His hearing impairment progressed from 'muffled hearing' with tinnitus on...
