Toksikološke posljedice oružja za masovno uništavanje i noksa u suvremenom ratovanju i terorizmu Oružja za masovno uništavanje najbolji su primjer uporabe civilizacijskih tehnoloških dostignuća u štetne svrhe i protiv ljudske civilizacije. Unatoč nastojanjima oko kontrole i smanjenja njihove količine, rizik zbog samoga postojanja pa čak i širenja zahtijeva da se o njihovoj uporabi i dalje vodi računa i da se povećaju obrambene mjere - nuklearno-biološko-kemijske obrane (NBKO). Osim suvremenog…

Aerosolized scopolamine protects against microinstillation inhalation toxicity to sarin in guinea pigs
TLDR
Data indicate that postexposure treatment with aerosolized scopolamine prevents respiratory toxicity and protects against lethal inhalation exposure to sarin in guinea pigs.
Essential Lessons in a Potential Sarin Attack Disaster Plan for a Resource-Constrained Environment
TLDR
A management guideline is presented to assist with the recognition of an attack and management of victims by medical professionals and disaster relief organizations, specifically in resource-constrained and austere environments.

Efficacy of Mineral Cationic Carrier Against Sulphur Mustard in Skin Decontamination
TLDR
The results have confirmed the decontamination efficacy of MCC® preparation, corresponding to 8.4 times the LD50 of percutaneous sulphur mustard, and call for further investigation.
Medical Effects of Internal Contamination with Uranium
The purpose of this work is to present an outline of the metabolic pathways of uranium isotopes and compounds, medical consequences of uranium poisoning, and an evaluation of the therapeutic…
Effects of Sarin on the Nervous System of Subway Workers Seven Years after the Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack
TLDR
The results indicate that chronic decline of psychomotor function and memory function still exist 7 yr after the sarin exposure, and this phenomenon was observed in a dose‐dependent manner and the exposed group performed significantly less well in the backward digit span test.
The Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack
Definitive evidence for the acute sarin poisoning diagnosis in the Tokyo subway.
TLDR
A new method was developed to detect sarin hydrolysis products from erythrocytes of four victims of sarin poisoning resulting from the terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway and methylphosphonic acid, which is a sarin and soman Hydrolysis product, was determined in all victims.
Statistical Views on Late Complications of Chemical Weapons in Iranian CW Victims
TLDR
There is a method in the Janbazan organization for categorizing the severity of complications in the CW victims: patients with MILD, MODERATE and SEVERE complications, and in this article the criteria used in this categorizing method and the statistical results are discussed.
PCR analysis of tissue samples from the 1979 Sverdlovsk anthrax victims: the presence of multiple Bacillus anthracis strains in different victims.
TLDR
Tissue samples from 11 victims obtained and methods of efficiently extracting high-quality total DNA from these samples were developed, demonstrating that the entire complement of B. anthracis toxin and capsular antigen genes required for pathogenicity were present in tissues from each of these victims.

The quantitative analysis of depleted uranium isotopes in British, Canadian, and U.S. Gulf War veterans.
TLDR
The results confirm the presence of depleted uranium (DU) in 14 of 27 samples, with the 238U:235U ratio > 207.15, significantly different from natural uranium (p < 0.008) as well as from the DU shrapnel analysis, and warrants further investigation.
Weighted neighbor joining: a likelihood-based approach to distance-based phylogeny reconstruction.
TLDR
Weighbor appears to be relatively immune to the "long branches attract" and "long branch distracts" drawbacks observed with neighbor joining, BIONJ, and parsimony, and is much faster, while building trees that are qualitatively and quantitatively similar.
