SCORPIONS, SCORPIONISM, LIFE HISTORY STRATEGIES AND PARTHENOGENESIS

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins, 1995
Recently public health problems resulting from scorpion stings have shown an alarming increase in various tropical and subtropical countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Tunisia and Morocco. In some regions of Brazil, particularly in the States of Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, Bahia, Goias and the Federal District, more than 6000 scorpion stings with over 100 ...

Restoration of CPAK type in total knee arthroplasty does not lead to superior clinical outcome: A study based on arthroplasty registry data

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the pre‐ and post‐operative distribution of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty among the nine categories of the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee—CPAK classification (Aim 1). Another goal was to assess whether the clinical outcome (patient‐reported outcome and implant survival) differed between those whose CPAK ...

Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate

Oikos, EarlyView.
Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...

Effects of Androctonus crassicauda (Olivier, 1807) (Scorpiones: Buthidae) venom on rat metabolism

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
Scorpions are venomous arthropods of the Arachnida class and are considered relatives of spiders, ticks and mites. There is not any study about the biochemical effects of Androctonus crassicauda (Olivier, 1807) venom.

Dangerous scorpion fauna of Mali

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2012
Although the main Malian scorpion species of medical interest, Androctonus amoreuxi, is responsible for severe envenomings and perhaps some deaths, it has hitherto been considered not dangerous for humans. This population is located in the Saharian North-

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Scaling distribution in scorpions [PDF]

Arthropods, 2013
Scorpions being solitary animals are interesting in their distribution patterns. Nevertheless, the subject of scorpion distribution has received relatively less attention than other ecological aspects of that group.
