North American Pit Viper Envenomation

MedEdPORTAL, 2015
Acute snake envenomation is an uncommon but potentially serious envenomation causing local tissue injury, hematologic derangements, and systemic effects. The purpose of this simulation is to present an acute snake envenomation case that allows residents,

Quantitative Characterization of the Hemorrhagic, Necrotic, Coagulation‐Altering Properties and Edema‐Forming Effects of Zebra Snake (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) Venom

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
This study was designed to investigate the cytotoxicity and haemotoxicity of the Western barred (zebra) spitting cobra (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) venom to help explain atypical and inconsistent reports on syndromes by Namibian physicians treating victims of human ophidian accidents. Freeze‐dried venom milked from adult zebra snakes was dissolved in

In Silico Analysis of Gene Expression Network Components Underlying Pigmentation Phenotypes in the Python Identified Evolutionarily Conserved Clusters of Transcription Factor Binding Sites

Advances in Bioinformatics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Color variation provides the opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of evolution and selection. Reptiles are less studied than mammals. Comparative genomics approaches allow for knowledge gained in one species to be leveraged for use in another species. We describe a comparative vertebrate analysis of conserved regulatory modules in pythons aimed

Rattlesnake Envenomation in Three Dairy Goats

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Cases of rattlesnake envenomation in dairy goats are lacking. These cases present three dairy goats presented to a veterinary referral hospital for envenomation of Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus). Treatments and clinical characteristics reported are similar to those for llamas, alpacas, and horses.

Antitumoral Activity of Snake Venom Proteins: New Trends in Cancer Therapy

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
For more than half a century, cytotoxic agents have been investigated as a possible treatment for cancer. Research on animal venoms has revealed their high toxicity on tissues and cell cultures, both normal and tumoral. Snake venoms show the highest cytotoxic potential, since ophidian accidents cause a large amount of tissue damage, suggesting a ...

Ethnopharmacological Significance of Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk. (Asteraceae)

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Eclipta alba can be found growing wild in fallow lands of Bangladesh where it is considered as a weed by farmers. Traditional medicinal systems of the Indian subcontinent countries as well as tribal practitioners consider the plant to have diverse medicinal values and use it commonly for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory tract ...

Biochemical, Pharmacological, and Structural Characterization of New Basic PLA2 Bbil‐TX from Bothriopsis bilineata Snake Venom

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Bbil‐TX, a PLA2, was purified from Bothriopsis bilineata snake venom after only one chromatographic step using RP‐HPLC on μ‐Bondapak C‐18 column. A molecular mass of 14243.8 Da was confirmed by Q‐Tof Ultima API ESI/MS (TOF MS mode) mass spectrometry. The partial protein sequence obtained was then submitted to BLASTp, with the search restricted to PLA2 ...

Snake Venom: Any Clue for Antibiotics and CAM?

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 39-47, 2005., 2005
Lately several naturally occurring peptides presenting antimicrobial activity have been described in the literature. However, snake venoms, which are an enormous source of peptides, have not been fully explored for searching such molecules. The aim of this work is to review the basis of antimicrobial mechanisms revealing snake venom as a feasible ...
