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...

One way to confront chemical warfare in order to reduce their harmful effects, is to use the body's defense mechanisms. In order to do so firstly mustard gas (HD) was injected in an animal model in the form of an immunogen and the induced humoral immune response was investigated by two different immunological methods such as the Ouchterlony test and a new liquid phase fluoroimmunoassay. 7l...

the main aim in this study was to collect the experiences of iranian researchers about sulfur mustard (sm) and provide a guideline for the prevention of abuse for this dangerous agent. we searched valid national and international databases using related key words in the two languages. we found 193 articles which had been published in medical journals. among them, 25 articles had some implicatio...
