normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: more than 100,000 iranian veterans and civilians still suffer from various long-term complications due to their exposure to sulfur mustard (sm) during the iran–iraq war in 1983–88. the aim of the study was to investigate dna damage of sm in veterans who were exposed to sm, 23–27 years prior to this study. materials and methods: blood sam...

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...

RYANT, P.: Eff ect of sulphur fertilisation on yield and quality of white mustard seeds. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2009, LVII, No. 2, pp. 95–104 The objective of the present study was to estimate the eff ect of diff erent forms of sulphur on yields and qualitative parameters of white mustard seeds. This topic was studied in 2004 in the form of a pot trial in a vegetation hall ...

Crop production largely depends on need based application of nutrients and for maximizing the yield mustard, it is essential that mustard should not suffer due to inadequate supply mineral nutrition. In this regard, a field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur during Rabi season 2018-19, study effect nitrogen sulphur economics [Brassica juncea (L.)]. ...

Sulfur mustard is a synthetic organic compound. It was first manufactured in 1822 by the action of ethene on sulfur monochloride or dichloride. Since then, the methods of manufacture have been refined, although they have not been changed substantially. Three main processes have been used. The Germans produced sulfur mustard using the Meyer process, which involved treating ethylene with hypochlo...

Sulphur mustard (bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulphide, HD) is a well-known agent of chemical warfare. HD causes skin blisters, respiratory tract damage, and other toxic effects. The underlying biochemical response leading to the observed vesicant damage by HD is not well understood. Multiple hypotheses attempting to gain traction on this problem have been proposed, including DNA damage and repair, infl...

1. A quantitative study was made of the relationship between survival of colony-forming ability in Escherichia coli strains B/r and B(s-1) and the extents of alkylation of cellular DNA, RNA and protein after treatment with mono- or di-functional sulphur mustards, methyl methanesulphonate or iodoacetamide. 2. The mustards and methyl methanesulphonate react with nucleic acids in the cells, in the...

Background: We aimed to assess the long-term toxic effects of sulphur mustard (SM) on the testis and male fertility two decades after exposure. Materials and Methods: A historical cohort study was conducted in 2005. Sixty-four SM-exposed and 64 matched SMunexposed casualties of the Iraq–Iran conflict were enrolled. Fecundity status, semen indices, hormonal assay results and testis histopatholog...

Dear Editor, A 35-year-old man presented with severe headache and left sided hemiparesis since one day prior to admission. He reported frequent bouts of oral and genital aphthous ulcers, an attack of deep venous thrombosis of left lower extremity, one episode of right knee arthritis, and several attacks of headache, neck rigidity, and fever. He had been a victim of mustard-gas poisoning at the ...
