Study of scorpion fauna in Abomosa, Great & Small Tonbs and Hengam Islands of the Persian Gulf

Iranian South Medical Journal, 2003
In tropical regions of Iran, scorpion’s envenomation is counted one of the most important medical difficulties. Without information or attention to fauna and activity seasonal in a zone, adopting alike prophylactic or control methods to various species ...

Redescription of Euscorpius studentium Based on Adult Specimens; Updated Classification of Cavernicolous Euscorpiidae; and Review of Cavernicolous Scorpions in the Balkans

Diversity
Cavernicolous scorpions are difficult to collect and study due to their often inaccessible habitats. Some have evolved unique morphological adaptations, known as troglomorphies, including reduced sclerotization and pigmentation, reduction and/or loss of ...

Serrulin: A Glycine-Rich Bioactive Peptide from the Hemolymph of the Yellow Tityus serrulatus Scorpion

Toxins, 2019
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecules, which have a potential use as antibiotic or pharmacological tools. In chelicerate organisms, such as scorpions, these molecules constitute an alternative defense system against microorganisms. The aim of

Modified Transtibial Pullout Repair for Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Using a Barbed Suture: A Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract This technical note describes a modified transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear incorporating a barbed suture to improve fixation strength and load distribution. The technique combines 2 simple sutures placed near the torn root with a circumferential barbed suture passed through the posteromedial meniscocapsular ...

Arthroscopic Primary Repair of Mid‐Substance Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tears With Knotless Dual‐Suspensory Fixation

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears can spontaneously heal, but often heal with excess laxity. In contrast to well‐documented arthroscopic proximal and distal PCL tear repairs, the most prevalent mid‐substance tear is typically managed conservatively, or with full reconstruction.

A Comparative Study of Nesting Sites and Burrowing Habits of two Iranian Burrowing Scorpions

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2017
Background: The different features of scorpions can be successfully described by their nesting and burrowing behaviors. There is little information about burrowing activity of Iranian scorpions.

Lateral Meniscus Oblique Radial Tear All‐Inside Repair

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Lateral meniscus oblique radial tears, particularly high‐grade types 3 and 4, are common in acute anterior cruciate ligament injuries and contribute to significant knee instability and meniscal extrusion if left unrepaired. Surgical repair is necessary to restore normal knee kinematics and meniscal function.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Supernatant for Real‐Time PCR–Based Mutation Analysis in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The emergence of personalized therapy and molecular sequencing has significantly transformed the management of advanced non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Supernatants obtained from fine needle aspiration (FNA) have been shown to be a reliable source of high‐quality nucleic acid for molecular testing.
