Cx Explanation: This is normally an abbreviation for "circumflex" (artery), and is written the same way in Sp. What I do not understand is your context. Maybe John's right and it's Rx? |

Cx Explanation: Ciao, M. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-10 15:47:14 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Phosgene oxime (CX) is an urticant or nettle agent that causes a corrosive type of skin and tissue injury. Although CX often is grouped with the vesicant chemical warfare agents, it is not a true vesicant because it does not cause blisters. Both vapor and liquid CX cause immediate tissue damage on contact. CX is a solid at temperatures below 95°F, but the vapor pressure of the solid is high enough to produce symptoms. Although Germany and Russia both developed CX before World War II, no uses of the agent on the battlefield are known. CX is of military interest because it penetrates garments and rubber much more quickly than other chemical agents and it produces a rapid onset of severe and prolonged effects. http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic903.htm Fosgeno-oxime (CX) http://www.aunmas.com/ataque/agentes_q.htm |
