Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 2015 Snake venom ophthalmia is caused by venoms of spitting elapid and other snakes. The cobra is one of the most venomous snakes of genus Naja. There are more than 20 species of cobra like the King cobra of South Africa, Thailand, Burma, China, India, Malaysia, Philippines; the spitting cobra of Africa and parts of South East Asia; the Indian cobra found ...

Zoologica Africana, 1978 Comparative electrophoretic studies were conducted on the venom of the rinkals (Hemachatus haemachatus). Egyptian cobra Naja haje haje) and puffadder (Bills arietans). Considerable differences in electrophoretic characteristics were found between fresh venom and commercial venom samples from the same species of snake.

Robotic modeling of snake traversing large, smooth obstacles reveals stability benefits of body compliance [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science (2020), 7, 191192, 2020 Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Although their locomotion on flat surfaces using planar gaits is inherently stable, when snakes deform their body out of plane to traverse complex terrain, maintaining stability becomes a challenge. On trees and desert dunes, snakes grip branches or brace against depressed sand for stability.

Snake Venom Gland Organoids [PDF]
Cell, 2020 Wnt dependency and Lgr5 expression define multiple mammalian epithelial stem cell types. Under defined growth factor conditions, such adult stem cells (ASCs) grow as 3D organoids that recapitulate essential features of the pertinent epithelium. Here, we establish long-term expanding venom gland organoids from several snake species.

Snake venoms and hemostasis [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2005 Snake venoms are complex mixtures of biologically active proteins and peptides. Many of them affect hemostasis by activating or inhibiting coagulant factors or platelets, or by disrupting endothelium. Based on sequence, these snake venom components have been classified into various families, such as serine proteases, metalloproteinases, C-type lectins,

Interior point search for nonparametric image segmentation [PDF]
, 2021 Precise object boundary detection for automatic image segmentation is critical for image analysis, including that used in computer-aided diagnosis. However, such detection traditionally uses active contour or snake models requiring accurate initialization and parameter optimization.

Reappraisal of Vipera aspis venom neurotoxicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: The variation of venom composition with geography is an important aspect of intraspecific variability in the Vipera genus, although causes of this variability remain unclear.
