Corticosteroids are also used supportively to prevent nausea, often in combination with 5-HT3 antagonists (e.g. ondansetron). Typical undesired effects of glucocorticoids present quite uniformly as drug-induced Cushing's syndrome.
Common causes. A gas explosion occurs when the gas/air mixture reaches a critical value, then any spark, flame or heat source can ignite the mixture. The explosion is caused when the rapidly expanding, burning gas is confined and builds up pressure. As the pressure builds, something has to give, and in a home gas explosion it is usually the windows.
The main reason that a propane tank will explode is due to fire or extreme heat. Unfortunately, many are injured (about 6,000 people a year) from propane tank explosions. How, you might ask? When propane tanks are exposed to extreme heat, pressure builds, and explosions occur. Or, a tank might be leaking, and any source of ignition can result in an explosion (for example, lighting a cigarette). Propane naturally has no odor, so an odor of ârotten eggsâ is added to it to let people know if they have a leak.
