Third Generation Antivenomics: Pushing the Limits of the In Vitro Preclinical Assessment of Antivenoms [PDF]

Toxins, 2017
Second generation antivenomics is a translational venomics approach designed to complement in vivo preclinical neutralization assays. It provides qualitative and quantitative information on the set of homologous and heterologous venom proteins presenting antivenom-recognized epitopes and those exhibiting impaired immunoreactivity.

Skin Grafting for Cobra Bite–Induced Hand Defects: Refining Indications in a Dynamic Wound Environment

International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cobra envenomation frequently results in progressive soft‐tissue necrosis of the hand, posing significant challenges for reconstruction. While flap‐based reconstruction is often recommended for severe defects, the role of skin grafting in appropriately selected cases remains poorly defined.
