Validity and reliability of telephone administration of the patient-specific functional scale for the assessment of recovery from snakebite envenomation [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVES: Although more than 1.8 million people survive snakebite envenomation each year, their recovery is understudied. Obtaining long-term follow-up is challenging in both high- and low-resource settings. The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)

The Proteome of African Spitting and Non‐Spitting Cobra Venoms and Cytotoxicity Against Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT African cobra (Naja spp.) venom contains toxins dominated by proteins and peptides with inter‐ and intra‐specific variations. There are several FDA‐approved drugs from snake venom toxins from other regions, including South America and Asia. Profiling the proteomes of medically important African cobra venoms from different locations will aid in

TRUE-1: Trial of Repurposed Unithiol for snakebite Envenoming phase 1 (safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in healthy Kenyan adults)

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
Background: Snakebites affect over 5 million people each year, and over 100,000 per year die as a result. The only available treatment is antivenom, which has many shortcomings including high cost, intravenous administration, and high risk of adverse ...

Anurans or Mice: What is the Best Food Item for Young and Adults of Bothrops jararacussu (Lacerda, 1884) in Captivity?

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We use Bothrops jararacussu as a model to introduce three different prey items (mice, exotic anuran – bullfrog and native anurans) in captivity. Our experiments indicated that native anurans could be an interesting food alternative to B. jararacussu and other Bothrops species with an ontogenetic diet in captivity.

Early treatment with intranasal neostigmine reduces mortality in a mouse model of Naja naja (Indian Cobra) envenomation [PDF]

, 2014
Objective. Most snakebite deaths occur prior to hospital arrival; yet inexpensive, effective, and easy to administer out-of-hospital treatments do not exist. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors can be therapeutic in neurotoxic envenomations when administered

Snakebite and a Heart Murmur [PDF]

Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2004
A 59-year-old commercial crawfisherman came to the emergency department complaining of a swollen, red, painful right hand and forearm and subjective fever. The hand was bitten by a snake 4 days earlier when the man was fishing. His only pertinent past history was that 3 years previously he had been sent for an echocardiogram when he saw a physician for
