Anoxic anoxia was deemed to be the mechanism for the loss of consciousness in these patients.
Their analysis suggested that up to half of the deep ocean had become oxygen depleted during OA2 and remained
anoxic for an estimated half-million years before it recovered.
Some of the main intervals of hydrocarbon source rocks are supposed to be linked to the postulated Oceanic
Anoxic Events (OAEs), which have been defined (Jenkyns and Clayton, 1986, 1997) on the basis of the presence of black shale facies (>5wt.%TOC; Bates and Jackson, 1987) worldwide.
In the dark, under
anoxic conditions, the glycogen formed during the day is slowly degraded.
The pre-anoxic chamber has volume of (8.0 L), oxidation chamber (18.5 L), and post
anoxic chamber (10 L), and final settler (8.5 L).
A careful history is critical to establish the possibility of a recent
anoxic event.
"So when I was diagnosed with re-flex
anoxic seizures I finally felt like I'd taken control.
These intervals of black shale deposition are often referred to as Oceanic
Anoxic Events (OAEs) 1a and 2, respectively.
