I still cannot find that article, did find the journal, but not
that article.

Did find a very interesting one there...

Assessment Of Neuromuscular Dysfunction During Poisoning By
Organophosphorus Compounds

Abstract

Dysfunction of respiratory muscles is a life-threatening
complication in poisoning by organophosphorus compounds (OP). It
is both of central and peripheral origin due to impaired
cholinergic signalling upon inhibition of acetylcholinesterase
(AChE). The dysfunction at neuromuscular synapses is not amenable
to anticholinergics and remains a therapeutic challenge. Thus, a
clear understanding of the distinct mechanisms occurring at
neuromuscular synapses is decisive for the development and
improvement of therapeutic strategies, particularly with nerve
agent poisoning, where clinical studies are prevented by ethical
considerations.
