  2. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    The spark associated with static electricity is caused by electrostatic discharge, or simply static discharge, as excess charge is neutralized by a flow of charges from or to the surroundings. The feeling of an electric shock is caused by the stimulation of nerves as the current flows through the human body.

  3. Electrical injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_injury

    However, the potential seriousness of the shock depends on paths through the body that the currents take. [14] If the voltage is less than 200 V, then the human skin, more precisely the stratum corneum, is the main contributor to the impedance of the body in the case of a macroshock—the passing of current between two contact points on the ...

  4. Hydrostatic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_shock

    Hydrostatic shock, also known as hydro-shock, is the controversial concept that a penetrating projectile (such as a bullet) can produce a pressure wave that causes "remote neural damage", "subtle damage in neural tissues" and "rapid effects" in living targets.

  5. Side effects of penicillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_effects_of_penicillin

    The side effects of penicillin can be altered by taking other medications at the same time. Taking oral contraceptives along with penicillin may lower the effects of the contraceptive. When probenecid is used concurrently with penicillin, kidney excretion of probenecid is decreased resulting in higher blood levels of penicillin in the circulation.

  6. Microshock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microshock

    It is important to note that microshock (or micro-shock) are not IEV [2] defined terms and are not used in any international standard. "Micro-shock" is an otherwise imperceptible electric current applied directly, or in very close proximity, to the heart muscle of sufficient strength, frequency, and duration to cause disruption of normal cardiac function.

  7. Static Shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_Shock

    Static Shock ' s last season was only surpassed by the children's anime Pokémon, and the show's reruns on Cartoon Network were only surpassed by the adult animated sitcom Family Guy. [6] Static Shock was the only program on Cartoon Network to be among the top 30 most watched kids shows in a week of October 2004. [53]

  8. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

    Shock is the state of insufficient blood flow to the tissues of the body as a result of problems with the circulatory system. Initial symptoms of shock may include weakness, tachycardia, hyperventilation, sweating, anxiety, and increased thirst. [1] This may be followed by confusion, unconsciousness, or cardiac arrest, as complications worsen. [1]

  9. Septic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_shock

    Septic shock is a subclass of distributive shock, a condition in which abnormal distribution of blood flow in the smallest blood vessels results in inadequate blood supply to the body tissues, resulting in ischemia and organ dysfunction. Septic shock refers specifically to distributive shock due to sepsis as a result of infection. [14]
