The benefit of combinations of oximes for the ability of antidotal treatment to counteract sarin-induced brain damage in rats [PDF]
Background The aim of our study was to compare the ability of two combinations of oximes (HI-6 + trimedoxime and HI-6 + K203) with atropine to counteract acute sarin-induced brain damage with the efficacy of antidotal treatment involving single oxime (HI-
