Military Medicine, 2023
Observations of military conflicts and local wars of recent decades show us that the concept of "chemical weapons" has not yet been deleted from the military lexicon of various countries, despite the convention on its prohibition. In recent decades, there have been cases of the use of mustard gas, sarin, tabun and VX in Halabaja (Iraq), sarin in Tokyo (

Neurology, 1992
Nerve agents produce neuromuscular blockade and convulsions in exposed humans. Military personnel in areas of potential exposure take prophylactic pyridostigmine. They are instructed to self-administer atropine and pralidoxime at the first sign of nerve agent toxicity.

Neurologic Clinics, 2003
Nerve agents cause a rapidly fatal cholinergic crisis, but rapid, appropriate antidotal treatment saves lives. Survivors of nerve-agent poisoning generally are healthy, unlike survivors of some other chemical agent attacks. Neurologists can assist first responders and mass casualty planners materially by serving as resources for information on nerve ...

Nerve Agents: A Comprehensive Review
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2004Nerve agents are perhaps the most feared of potential agents of chemical attack. The authors review the history, physical characteristics, pharmacology, clinical effects, and treatment of these agents.

Inhalational exposure to nerve agents
Respiratory Care Clinics, 2004The respiratory system plays a major role in the pathogenesis of nerve agent toxicity. It is the major route of entry and absorption of nerve agent vapor, and respiratory failure is the most common cause of death follow-ing exposure. Respiratory symptoms are mediated by chemical irritation,muscarinic and nicotinic receptor overstimulation, and central ...

Nerve agent toxicity and treatment
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2005The clinical syndrome of nerve agent toxicity varies widely, ranging from the classic cholinergic syndrome to flaccid paralysis and status epilepticus. All nerve agents are capable of producing marked neuropathology. Seizure control is strongly associated with protection against acute lethality and brain pathology.

Therapy for Nerve Agent Poisoning
Archives of Neurology, 2004Neurologists need to familiarize themselves with nerve agents, the most toxic of the chemical warfare agents. Their mode of action lies within the nervous system, and nonneurologists will look to neurologists for expert advice on therapy. These agents cause rapid-onset cholinergic crisis amenable to prompt treatment with specific antidotes.

Toxicokinetics of Nerve Agents
2007This chapter presents the subjects as in the second edition, updated with the latest results on the toxicokinetics of VX, mainly obtained after improvement of the analytical methodology. Toxicokinetic studies, together with toxicodynamic studies of nerve agents, provide a quantitative basis for the design of new strategies against intoxication with ...
