Sulphur mustard (SM) is a well-known chemical warfare agent. It was first used during World War I and more recently in the Iran/Iraq conflict causing more than 100,000 Iranian casualties. Previous study showed that this gas can raised inflammatory marker but in this current case that suffered from cancer. After examine current case for candidate CABG, we found that Hs-CRP and IL-6 was very low ...

RATIONALE Mustard gas primarily affects the eyes, skin, and particularly the respiratory tract. Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) and air trapping are often observed in high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) scans of the chest of mustard gas-exposed patients. OBJECTIVES To examine the frequency and severity of TBM in a group of Iranian wartime mustard gas-exposed victims, and to investigate...

BACKGROUND Mustard gas, a known chemical weapon, was used during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. We aimed to determine if exposure to mustard gas among men was significantly associated with abnormalities and disorders among progenies. METHODS Using a case-control design, we identified all progenies of Sardasht men (exposed group, n = 498), who were born at least nine months after the exposure...

Page 57 § 1.1.2.: it is mentioned that some materials can cause serious corneal injury without appearing to change opacity or permeability immediately (e.g. mustard gas). Is this a specific observation for mustard gas or are other examples (agents) known which can induce damage without changes in opacity and/or permeability? Injury (cell death) without any change in opacity and/or permeability ...

Sulfur mustard (bis[2-chloroethyl]sulfide; C4H8Cl2S; CASRN: 505-60-2) or as it is commonly called, ‘mustard gas’, is one of a class of vesicant chemical warfare agents with the ability to form vesicles or blisters on exposed skin. Sulfur mustard is a viscous liquid at ambient temperature, but becomes a solid at 58 °F (14 °C). It is heavier than water as a liquid and heavier than air as a vapor....

the aim of this study was to compare the total protein levels in serum of veteran exposure to sulfur mustard (sm) which was used in the iran-iraq war. in this study, 35 patients exposed to mustard gas (case group) and 35 healthy subjects (control group) were evaluated. the total protein concentration was measured by bradford method. the average amount of protein in serum exposure to sulfur must...

AIM To assess the effect of mustard cake (Brassica juncea L.) levels in concentrate mixtures and in composite feed mixtures (CFMs) on in-vitro fermentation characteristics and methane production. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five concentrate mixtures were prepared with containing 30% oil cake, where linseed cake was replaced by mustard cake at the rate of 0%, 7.5%, 15.0%, 22.5%, and 30% in concentra...
