Sulphur Mustard is a potent chemical warfare agent that was widely used during first world war and Iran ‌Iraq conflict. Over 100,000 Iranians were injured by sulphur mustard and one-third is of them were suffering from late effects until today. This vesicant agent has a lot of acute and chronic destructive effects on the skin, eye and respiratory system. Sulphur mustard via the alkylations of s...

Sulphur mustard is a chemical warfare agent, which was largely used during the World War One and in Iraq-Iran conflict. It may also be used as a chemical terrorism agent. Therefore, medical professions should have sufficient knowledge and be prepared for medical intervention of any such chemical attack.Sulphur mustard exerts direct toxic effects on the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, with su...

The aim of this study was to evaluate decontamination (absorption) efficacy of a preparation called Mineral Cationic Carrier (MCC) against skin contamination with sulphur mustard in vivo. MCC is a synthetic preparation with known ion exchange, absorption efficiency, and bioactive potential. CBA mice were applied increasing doses of sulphur mustard on their skin and MCC was administered immediat...

As one of the most important vesicant agents, the destructive properties of mustards on the skin, eyes and respiratory system, combined with a lack of antidote, makes them effective weapons. Such weapons are inexpensive, easily obtainable and frequently stockpiled. Sulphur mustard (mustard gas) has been used as a chemical warfare agent in at least 10 conflicts. In this article, the use of musta...

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 ...

Some studies have already addressed the effects of occupational organic solvent exposure on the visually evoked potentials (VEPs). Visual system is an important target for Sulphur Mustard (SM) toxicity. A number of Iranian victims of Sulphur Mustard (SM) agent were apprehensive about the delay effect of SM on their vision and a possible delay effect of SM on their visual cortex. This investigat...

The aim of this study was to provide information about the degradative processes that occur in major connective tissue components in skin following exposure of large white pigs to Lewisite vapour. Of particular interest were alterations in glycoproteins, which are known to mediate dermo-epidermal attachment (laminin and type IV collagen) and the main collagen found in the dermis (type III colla...
