The disruption is caused by blocking acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that normally relaxes the activity of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. ...--------- --- -·---- - --- -·-- --- --- Contents • 1 Overview • 2 Biological Effects • 2.1 Mechanism of Action • 2.2 Antidotes • 3 Classes • 3.1 G-Series • 3.2 V-Series • 3.3 Novichok Agents • 3.4 Insecticides • 4 History • 4.1 The Discovery ofNerve Agents • 4.2 The Nazi Mass Production ofTabun • 4.3 Nerve Agents in Nazi Germany • 4.4 The Secret Gets Out • 4.5 Since World War II • 4.6 Ocean Disposal of Chemical Weapons • 5 Popular Culture • 6 References and External Links --------------- ----·-- - Overview As chemical weapons, they are classified as weapons of mass destruction by the United Nations according to UN Resolution 687, and their production and stockpiling was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993; the Chemical Weapons Convention officially took effect on April 291997.

Using conventional synthesis methods, new photocatalytic systems were prepared, which were tested in the mineralization of four simulants of organophosphorus chemical warfare agents. All these preparation methods aimed at modifying the photocatalytic properties of TiO2 in order to visible absorb, by doping TiO2, with transition metal ions. The exhaustive characterization of the photocatalytic behaviour of the synthesized materials led to a comparative study between the photocatalytic activity under conditions of irradiation in the visible range and that in the UV domain for the photodegradation of organophosphorus compounds.

    OPCW Executive Council Fifty-Ninth Meeting EC-M-59/NAT.3 18 April 2018 18 April 2018 ENGLISH and RUSSIAN only1 RUSSIAN FEDERATION STATEMENT BY H.E. AMBASSADOR A.V. SHULGIN PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TO THE OPCW AT THE FIFTY-NINTH MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Mr Chairperson, I would like to start my speech with the words that belong to the great thinker Martin Luther, “A lie is like a snowball: the further you roll it, the bigger it becomes”. This wise aphorism is fully applicable to politics. He who has chosen the path of deception will have to lie again and again, making up explanations for discrepancies, spreading disinformation and doing forgery, desperately using all means to cover the tracks of the lies and to hide the truth. The United Kingdom has entered this slippery path. We can clearly see all of this on the example of the “Skripal case” fabricated by the British authorities, this poorly disguised anti-Russian provocation accompanied by an unprecedented propaganda campaign, taken up by a group of countries, and the finalized unprecedented expulsion of diplomats under a far-fetched pretext. Please, do not try to pass this group for the international community – it is far from that. It has already been a month since the Prime Minister of Great Britain Theresa May put forward some extremely serious accusations against Russia of the alleged use of chemical weapons. We have been waiting for an explanation for a long time, counting on our British colleagues to eventually back up these loud statements with some at least halfway intelligible facts.

Abstract: Early detection of exposure to a toxic chemical, e.g., in a military context, can be life-saving. We propose to use machine learning techniques and multiple continuously measured physiological signals to detect exposure, and to identify the chemical agent. Such detection and identification could be used to alert individuals to take appropriate medical counter measures in time. As a first step, we evaluated whether exposure to an opioid (fentanyl) or a nerve agent (VX) could be detected in freely moving guinea pigs using features from respiration, electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG), where machine learning models were trained and tested on different sets (across subject classification). Results showed this to be possible with close to perfect Citation: van Baardewijk, J.U.; accuracy, where respiratory features were most relevant.

  • Assessment and Management of Patients at Risk for Suicide
    VA/DoD CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS AT RISK FOR SUICIDE Department of Veterans Affairs Department of Defense Prepared by: The Assessment and Management of Risk for Suicide Working Group With support from: The Office of Quality Safety and Value, VA, Washington, DC & Quality Management Division, United States Army MEDCOM Version 1.0 – June 2013 QUALIFYING STATEMENTS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and The Department of Defense (DoD) guidelines are based upon the best information available at the time of publication. They are designed to provide information and assist decision-making. They are not intended to define a standard of care and should not be construed as one. Neither should they be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management. Variations in practice will inevitably and appropriately occur when providers take into account the needs of individual patients, available resources, and limitations unique to an institution or type of practice. Every health care professional making use of these guidelines is responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of applying them in the setting of any particular clinical situation. VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for Assessment and Management of Patients at Risk for Suicide INTRODUCTION The Clinical Practice Guideline for the Assessment and Management of Suicide Risk was developed under the auspices of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). VHA and DoD define clinical practice guidelines as:

  • 5- Nerve Agents.P65
    S29 Nerve agents Nerve Agents Ruei-Fang Wang, MD; Tzong-Luen Wang, MD, PhD Abstract Nerve agents are one of the most lethal chemical materials. They may be used as weapons of mass destruction in terrorist attacks or in the battlefield. Successful management is composed of many close organized steps. Early detection, field triage, decontamination, primary survey, resuscitation, and early antidote use are imperative in the acute stage of poisoning. Basic pharmacological therapy includes antidote (atropine and pralidoxime) and anticonvulsant therapy. We review the basic physi- cal properties, the pathophysiology, and the acute management of nerve agents poisoning.
