Acute Coronary Syndrome From Green Snake Envenomation
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021Snake bite is a grossly underreported public health issue in subtropical, tropical suburban, and rural areas of Africa and South Asia. In literature, ophitoxemia (snake bite envenomation) as a cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is limited to very few case reports. Viper envenomation is the most common cause of ACS among snake bites.

Jellyfish envenomation syndromes
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1986Jellyfish venoms are complex mixtures of polypeptides and enzymes pathogenic to man by means of their toxic or antigenic properties. With newer technology, more therapeutic agents will become available to treat the various envenomation syndromes caused by these animals.

Lance-Adams syndrome: An unusual complication of snakebite envenomation
Toxicon, 2022Neuroparalytic snakebite envenomation is common in tropics and sub-tropics. The clinical history is sometimes unclear and misleading, leading to delay in diagnosis and initiation of life-saving treatments. It often gets so delayed that the patient may end up in neuromuscular respiratory failure.

Jellyfish envenomation syndromes updated
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987Jellyfish venoms are mixtures of toxic and/or antigenic polypeptides and enzymes pathogenic to human beings. As newer therapeutic agents become available to treat the various reactions to stings caused by these animals, an accurate diagnosis of the type of reaction the patient experiences and of the offending species will be necessary.

Laryngeal Spasm in Scorpion Envenoming Syndrome
Indian Journal of Mednodent and Allied Sciences, 2014Death due to scorpion envenoming syndrome is a common event all over the world in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Scorpion envenoming syndrome results in a severe autonomic storm with a massive release of catecholamines, increased levels of angiotensin II, glucagon, cortisol, thyroid hormones, either hypoinsulinemia or hyperinsulinemia ...

UPPER EXTREMITY COMPARTMENT SYNDROMES FOLLOWING PIT VIPER ENVENOMATION
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1985The treatment of pit viper envenomation by fasciotomy continues to be controversial because elevated intracompartment pressures have never been previously documented. Two patients with severe pit viper envenomation of the thumb had signs and symptoms of elevated intracompartment pressures.

Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2023
Jellyfish stings are the most common cause of marine envenomation in humans. Various species of box jellyfish have been identified around Penang Island, Malaysia, and these include multitentacled and four-tentacled box jellyfish (class Cubozoa). The typical syndrome following envenomation from these jellyfish has been poorly documented, posing a ...
