“…For equal degrees of enzyme reactivation the quantity of pyridine-2-aldoxime methiodide required when a di-isopropylphosphoryl group is involved, as for instance in poisoning with dyflos (di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate), is 20 to 30 times higher than that necessary for the treatment of poisoning with parathion, ethyl pyrophosphate (TEPP) or paraoxon where a diethylphosphoryl group is involved. The dose of pyridine-2-aldoxime methiodide used and recommended by Namba and Hiraki (1958) Since organophosphorus insecticides are used widely and cases of poisoning have frequently been reported (Pribilla, 1955;Holmes and Gaon, 1956;Conley, 1957;Maresch, 1957;Erdmann and Lendle, 1958;Namba and Hiraki, 1958;Quinby and Lemmon, 1958) (Hobbiger, 1957b). Reactivation was studied in the Warburg apparatus, allowing 30 min.…”
