Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Snakebite injuries in Hong Kong: A 10‐year review

open access: yesHong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Background Snakebite envenomation is a priority neglected tropical disease according to the World Health Organization. To address the issue, enhanced epidemiological evidence in endemic countries and an improved availability of snake antivenoms were proposed. Objectives To understand the local epidemiology of snakebite cases, promote awareness

Delayed Recovery of Quadriplegia after a Krait Bite

open access: yesThe American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
ABSTRACT. Snakebite envenomation is an endemic problem in tropical countries like Nepal. Deaths from envenomation are preventable through robust management systems and widespread public awareness. This case report describes a case of a 16-year-old boy from the Terai region of Nepal who presented with acute bilateral ptosis, head lag ...

Perspectives on the Effect of Incubation Temperature on Pine Snake Hatchlings

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 149-174, March 2026.
Effect of timing of egg‐laying and incubation temperature on the possible phenology of events for early egg‐laying females (laying June 15, the earliest laying date), the mid‐laying date (July 4), and late egg‐laying females (July 17, the latest egg‐laying date). Based on data from many papers.

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.

Novel Microsatellite Markers Reveal Evidence of Sexual Reproduction in Dematophora necatrix Populations From South African Avocado Orchards

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
The study reveals the presence of sexual reproduction in Dematophora necatrix populations from South African avocado orchards through the development of novel microsatellite markers. This finding enhances the understanding of genetic diversity and population structure within these populations, emphasising the significance of alleles and genotype ...
