  • Title: The birth of nerve agent warfare: lessons from Syed Abbas Foroutan.
    Author: Newmark J.
    Journal: Neurology; 2004 May 11; 62(9):1590-6. PubMed ID: 15136687.
    Abstract:
    The author reviewed Farsi-language articles published recently by Dr. Syed Abbas Foroutan, which constitute the only firsthand clinical descriptions of battlefield nerve agent casualties in the world literature, and the author compares his comments with US and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) chemical casualty care doctrine. Foroutan's lessons learned reassure us that a robust medical evacuation system, coupled with timely and appropriate medical care of nerve agent poisoning, will save many more lives on future battlefields.
