This review provides information about blistering chemical warfare agents. The main focus lies on the sulfur mustard. The article summarizes the history of this agent from its discovery to the present, physicochemical properties, toxicokinetics, and the clinical picture of acute intoxication. Late effects of poisoning are discussed as well. The laboratory diagnosis of sulfur mustard exposure is an issue that is currently being discussed by many research groups worldwide. Current therapeutic approaches recommended by NATO are aimed at rapid decontamination and symptomatic treatment. In spite of all efforts, no potent and usable antidote has been found...

Ionizing radiation (IR) induces various types of damage in the cellular DNA, of which the most deleterious are double strand breaks. Double strand breaks lead to activation of signaling cascade aiming to repair the damage or to transiently or permanently arrest cell cycle, and/or induce cell death. In the case of high doses of ionizing radiation with a high dose-rate (0.5-1 Gy / min) where the cell repair capacity is insufficient, cell death often occurs in response to double-strand breaks. The response to the radiation exposure depends on many factors such as the cell type, its proliferation activity, and p53 status. In tumor cells, cell death is...
