title: [Injuries caused by nuclear weapons--providing medical care].
abstract: Destructive factors of nuclear weapon's action are briefly reviewed. Actions of general and local irradiation are scrutinized which can take place in the radiation field of nuclear explosion or on the region contamined with its products. Also measures of protection from both internal and external irradiation are listed. Diagnosis and management of acute irradiation disease as well as local radiation damage are analyzed with the addition of basic medical and evacuative strategy. The present work is based on available literature data and reflects author's points of views without inclusion of certain obligatory approaches in providing irradiated persons with medical and evacuative requirements.
