Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation due to Venomous Snake Bite [PDF]
Snake bites are common all around the world with a great prevalence in South Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Although they are associated with common complications such as local swelling, bleeding at site of bite, coagulopathy, etc., few rare cardiac

Cosmology behind the mask: Constraining the parameters of $Λ$CDM with the unmasked galaxy density field from VIPERS [PDF]
Galaxy redshift surveys are designed to map cosmic structures in three dimensions for large-scale structure studies. Nevertheless, limitations due to sampling and the survey window are unavoidable and degrade the cosmological constraints. We present an analysis of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) over the redshift range $0.6 < z <

Peripheral Arterial Thrombosis following Russell's Viper Bites
Envenomings by Russell's viper ( Daboia russelii ), a species of high medical importance in India and other Asian countries, commonly result in hemorrhage, coagulopathies, necrosis, and acute kidney injury.

in silico Study Reveals Potential Docking Sites of δ 2-isoxazolines derivates for Inhibiting Russell’s Viper PLA2 Toxin [PDF]
Snake venom phospholipase A2s (svPLA2s) has been known as the most abundant component and predominant cause of Russell’s viper envenomation. Limitation to serum therapy and considerable pharmacological interest led the researcher to syn-thesized multi ...

SFR estimations from z=0 to z=0.9 -- A comparison of SFR calibrators for star-forming galaxies [PDF]
Using VIPERS, we estimated a set of SFR based on photometric and spectroscopic data. We used, as estimators, photometric bands from ultraviolet to mid-infrared, and spectral lines. Assuming a reference SFR obtained from the spectral energy distribution reconstructed with Code Investigating GALaxy Emission, we estimated the reliability of each band as ...

Venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC), thrombotic microangiopathy and rhabdomyolysis in Russell’s viper bite [PDF]
Background: Russell’s viper is one of the most venomous snakes found in Bangladesh. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a devastating complication of viper bite causing significant morbidity and mortality.

Urinary microRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for toxic acute kidney injury in humans
MicroRNAs in biofluids are potential biomarkers for detecting kidney and other organ injuries. We profiled microRNAs in urine samples from patients with Russell’s viper envenoming or acute self-poisoning following paraquat, glyphosate, or oxalic acid ...

Early Adverse Reactions to Snake Antivenom: Poison Center Data Analysis
Antivenom is an essential treatment for snake envenomation; however, early adverse reactions (EARs) are major limitations to its use. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study using Ramathibodi Poison Center data (January 2016 to December 2017 ...
