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 th...

OBJECTIVES To determine the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor isoform consisting of 165 amino acids (VEGF165) in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid from Mustard Exposed Patients. METHODS Bronchoscopy with Bronchoalveolar Lavage was performed on sulphur mustard exposed patients. A total of 39 patients with documented exposure to Sulfur Mustard during the Iran-Iraq war participated in this...

Sulphur mustard (SM) is an alkylating agent that was first used as a chemical warfare agent during the First World War in 1917. SM is readily absorbed from the skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal tract and is distributed to several organs. SM may act rapidly and persistently upon DNA replicating mechanism of the individual cells during mitosis particularly in the hematopoietic system. O...

Sulphur mustard is a vesicant (blistering agent), which produces chemical burns with widespread blistering. It was used extensively as a chemical warfare agent in the First World War, and has allegedly been employed in a number of conflicts since then, most recently by Iraq against Iran (1984-1987). The potential further use of mustard in military conflicts and by terrorists remains a significa...

Active carbon (surface area, 1250 m/g) was used to study vapor breakthrough behavior of sulphur mustard (2, 2’dichlorodiethyl sulphide). Effect of length of carbon bed on vapor breakthrough time has been examined. Rate constant (k v ) is found to increase while kinetic saturation capacity (W e ) is invariable with increase in airflow rate. Both k v and W e decrease with the increase of temperat...
