Disease relevance of Gas Poisoning

Evaluating physostigmine and pyridostigmine based on their efficacy, toxicity, adverse effects, duration, availability and stability, we recommend that pyridostigmine is the drug of choice in the prophylaxis against nerve gas poisoning [1].

High impact information on Gas Poisoning

The role of the press and the medical community in the epidemic of "mysterious gas poisoning" in the Jordan West Bank [2].
Pyridostigmine bromide (PB), an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, has been used as a prophylactic for nerve gas poisoning [3].
An outbreak of acute inhalation exposure to hydrogen selenide occurred in Delhi, India. This report includes our findings on epidemiological, clinical and biochemical investigations in 31 cases hospitalized immediately after the gas poisoning [4].
Since hydrogen sulfide gas was detected in the atmosphere at the scene of the accident, gas poisoning was suspected and toxicological analysis of sulfides in body tissues was performed [5].
In the present study of victims, possible causes of death i.e., carbon monoxide gas poisoning, hydrogen cyanide poisoning, oxygen deprivation, burning, shock due to burns and others were estimated [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Gas Poisoning

Acute hydrogen selenide gas poisoning admissions in one of the hospitals in Delhi, India: case report [4].
