Emergency workers attending the scene of a «dirty» bomb or nuclear blast could soon have a drug to help protect them. |
The 40 monkeys were given intramuscular injections of AED 4 hours after exposure and then once daily for five days. Hollis-Eden stressed no other treatments, such as blood transfusions – which are unlikely to be widely available after a mass-casualty attack – were administered. The results suggest AED, which has already passed initial safety tests in people, may even protect victims of a blast if administered quickly enough after exposure. |
