Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 This study investigated the impact of roads and landscape composition on the functional diversity of snakes in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The results suggest that landscape composition affects the functional diversity of both road‐killed snakes and those inhabiting the adjacent vegetation within an area of influence ranging from 250 to 2000 m. The

Comparison of phylogeny, venom composition and neutralization by antivenom in diverse species of bothrops complex. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 In Latin America, Bothrops snakes account for most snake bites in humans, and the recommended treatment is administration of multispecific Bothrops antivenom (SAB--soro antibotrópico).

Evolutionary convergence of muscle architecture in relation to locomotor ecology in snakes
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 5, Page 862-871, May 2023., 2023 Snakes with different ecologies differ in the axial musculature with aquatic species having more robust muscles. Arboreal species on the other hand typically have longer muscle‐tendon units. Abstract The epaxial muscles in snakes are responsible for locomotion and as such can be expected to show adaptations in species living in different environments ...

Anti‐Metalloprotease P‐I Single‐Domain Antibodies: Tools for Next‐Generation Snakebite Antivenoms
BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 In order to address the global antivenom crisis, novel antivenoms need to present high therapeutic efficacy, broad neutralization ability against systemic and local damage, sufficient safety, and cost‐effectiveness. Due to biological characteristics of camelid single‐domain antibodies (VHH) such as high affinity, their ability to penetrate dense ...

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Bleeding disorders are a major group of hematological disorders, which are highly prevalent in the world. Excessive bleeding can result in serious consequences including hypoperfusion and cardiac arrest. The body has its selfmechanism to control excessive bleeding which is termed hemostasis.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Objectives. To compare the clinical outcomes of using different hemostatic agents after transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (TUPKP) in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients. Methods. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to the hemostatic agents used after TUPKP, including the haemocoagulase agkistrodon for injection

A guide for optimal iodine staining and high‐throughput diceCT scanning in snakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 17, Page 11587-11603, September 2021., 2021 We present the first high‐throughput workflow for full‐body skeletal and soft‐tissue (dice) CT scans in preserved snakes. These methods increase publicly available diceCT scans for reptiles by an order of magnitude and can be generalized to any elongate vertebrates.

Bothrops venom-induced hemostasis disorders in the rat: Between Scylla and Charybdis.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 Hemostasis impairment represents the most threatening consequence of Viperidae envenoming, notably with Bothrops genus. In the French departments of America, B. atrox envenomation in French Guiana may lead to bleeding while B. lanceolatus envenomation in
