[en] When an electric shock occurs, it depends on the voltage, the length of the current, the type of current and where is the localization on the human body. A lightning strike is always very dangerous and connecting with a high mortality. A person can be affected by a direct hit, an indirect hit from surrounding structures, or a hit by ground currents. Nervous system can be damaged at the periphery (peripheral nerves), but also the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. Electric shock injuries are often of a more severe degree. The treatment is usually long-lasting. The final clinical outcome of the damaged nervous system is usually not perfect and may be incomplete. Prevention is therefore important, both for electric shocks and lightning injuries. (author)

[en] Due to the increasing use of electrical appliances in homes and office spaces at the present day, a large number of electrical appliances and fewer sockets leads to a variety of power cords crisscross and messy scattered. This not only affects the appearance, but also has the potential safety hazards of short circuit or electric shock. This paper innovatively designed a power plug retainer with a simple structure and low price. The designed power plug retainer has obtained the national invention patent authorization, which has a strong practicability and broad market prospect. (paper)

[en] This book consist of four parts, which report general electric safety with handing electric accident, cardiac massage and carrying and transport of patients, the cases of domestic accident in power substation, fires of building, ignition from edge of metallic conduit, the cases of foreign countries like electric shock accident, death from electric shock on the process of making and death from an bad working method, litigation precedent of electric accident ; death from misjudgement in shifting construction of entrance cable.

[en] This book deals with electric shock and electrical fire, which is made up seven chapters. It describes of special measurement for electric shock and electrical fire. It mentions concretely about electrical fire analysis and precautionary measurement, electrical shock analysis cases, occurrence of static electricity and measurement, gas accident, analysis of equipment accident and precautionary measurement. The book is published to educate the measurement on electric shock and electrical fire by electrical safety technology education center in Korea Electrical Safety Corporation.

[en] Objectives: This study aimed to determine the indications, success rate of elective cardioversion and its manifest complications. Methodology: It is a retrospective study involving 53 patients. We reviewed the hospital records files for the demographic data including age, gender, as well as indication of cardioversion, duration of arrhythmia and date of cardioversion along with complications. Results: Out of 53 patients, 58.5% (31) were males with a mean age of 48.17 ± 18.43 years. Arrhythmia related symptoms (palpitations and fatigue) were the indication for cardioversion in 44% (23) of the subjects. Our data showed that 98.1%( 52) were cardioverted to sinus rhythm successfully with a median energy of 100 joules. Out of those who underwent successful cardioversion, 92.5% (49) were followed up till 1 year after the cardioversion. At six week follow up, all the patients were found in sinus rhythm. At 6 months follow up, 94.2% (49) remained in sinus rhythm, while at 1 year follow up, 73% (38) of the patients remained in sinus rhythm. All patients were anticoagulated for at least four weeks after cardioversion. None of the patients required pacemaker and none of them developed stroke after cardioversion. Conclusion: Electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and flutter is a low risk procedure in our population and it has a high success rate and relatively low complications. (author)

[en] This research describes the behaviour of equipment and safety devices during use in extreme environmental conditions, in order to establish the technical conditions and additional health and safety requirements during operation, to ensure the health and safety of users, regardless of conditions and working environment in which they are use. The studies have been conducted both on new equipment and means of protection used in electrical installations. There has been evaluated protective equipment made of insulating rubber, reinforced fiberglass or PVC. They have been followed the technical characteristics and protection against electric shock by measuring the leakage current of different insulating materials. (paper)

[en] This book gives concentration on electric safety accidents in domestic and abroad, which introduces general electrical safety with property of electricity, safe equipment and maintenance and protection of electric shock. It lists the cases of accident caused of electricity in domestic like accident in power substation, utilization equipment, load system and another accident by electricity like death in electric shock another by electricity like death in electric shock in new building construction, the cases caused of electricity in abroad like damage in electric shock by high voltage electric transformer, electric shock in summer and earth fault accident by fault cooling tower.

[en] Modification of the motor control system of secondary cooling pumps that have been carried out to overcome the electrical flicking. Consequences of unanticipated flicking is the cooling pumps will shut down. Modification is done by replacing the control system PLN to Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), plus a component of Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) 220 Volt 2 Amp 2 Pole, 2 Auxiliary Contactor-type 3RH1131-1APOO with 1 NO auxiliary contact (normally Open) and two time-1BP30-3RP1505 type relay (off delay). Delay time to overcome the electrical flicking is set to 1 seconds and 2 seconds, taking into calculate the electrical flicking that occurred while in the setting of time limits, the predicted secondary cooling water pressure inside the pipeline is still eligible and the motor cooling system operation can still continue to operate. In the flicking of an electrical incident on 13 April 2010 at 0:45 Pm showed that the modifications of the secondary coolant pump motors operation when the reactor operates with a power of 15 MW.

[en] Highlights: • We analyze spike trains induced by EA before and after inhibiting SP in PC6 area. • Inhibiting SP leads to an increase of spiking rate of median nerve. • SP may modulate membrane potential to affect the spiking rate. • SP has an influence on long-range correlation of spike train evoked by EA. • SP play an important role in EA-induced neural spiking and encoding. - Abstract: Substance P (SP) participates in the neural signal transmission evoked by electro-acupuncture (EA). This paper investigates the impact of SP on the correlation of spike train in the median nerve evoked by EA at 'Neiguan' acupoint (PC6). It shows that the spiking rate and interspike interval (ISI) distribution change obviously after inhibiting SP. This variation of spiking activity indicates that SP affects the temporal structure of spike train through modulating the action potential on median nerve filaments. Furtherly, the correlation coefficient and scaling exponent are considered to measure the correlation of spike train. Scaled Windowed Variance (SWV) method is applied to calculate scaling exponent which quantifies the long-range correlation of the neural electrical signals. It is found that the correlation coefficients of ISI increase after inhibiting SP released. In addition, the scaling exponents of neuronal spike train have significant differences between before and after inhibiting SP. These findings demonstrate that SP has an influence on the long-range correlation of spike train. Our results indicate that SP may play an important role in EA-induced neural spiking and encoding.
