In the next few hours after exposure of mustards in harmful doses the injured suffer a complex of neurological deficits-headache, asthenia and emetic syndrome, and in case of lethal dosage-adynamia, tremor and convulsions. In case of percutaneous exposure of sulfur mustard, these disorders limit the terms of the conservation capacity of injured and determine the nature of the medical care they need at the pre-hospital stage. Perspective areas of drug prevention and treatment of early manifestations of acute resorptive action of mustards are the use of antiemetics, analgesics, and the removal of endogenous toxemia caused by inflammatory mediators, and biologically active substances in the gastro-intestinal origin.

Oxygen uptake intensity by intact animals at room and low ambient temperature is a stable individual characteristic positively correlating with life span following acute bone marrow irradiation. It is hypothesized that high gas exchange in radioresistant animals is linked with high inherent DNA synthesis and reparation.
