Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia and Cardiogenic Shock due to Scorpion Envenomation

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We describe a case of severe scorpion envenomation in an adult patient, with the presence of very rapid sustained ventricular tachycardia followed by cardiogenic shock, which was reversed by scorpion antivenom administration. Scorpion venom causes cardiac changes that can lead to an environment favoring arrhythmogenesis.

Parthenogenesis in scorpions: some history - new data

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
Parthenogenesis, a rare phenomenon in Chelicerates, apart from mites, is reviewed in scorpions, notably Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello from Brazil, Tityus columbianus (Thorell) from Colombia and Tityus metuendus Pocock from Peru and Brazil.

Model for Vaccine Design by Prediction of B‐Epitopes of IEDB Given Perturbations in Peptide Sequence, In Vivo Process, Experimental Techniques, and Source or Host Organisms

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Perturbation methods add variation terms to a known experimental solution of one problem to approach a solution for a related problem without known exact solution. One problem of this type in immunology is the prediction of the possible action of epitope of one peptide after a perturbation or variation in the structure of a known peptide and/or other ...

Convulsive and Neurodegenerative Effects in Rats of Some Isolated Toxins from the Tityus bahiensis Scorpion Venom

Journal of Toxins, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Despite Tityus bahiensis being one of the most dangerous scorpions in Brazil, there are few studies about the effects of its venom, which acts mainly on the central nervous system. Previous studies demonstrated the convulsive ability of this venom.

Scorpion Peptides: Potential Use for New Drug Development

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Several peptides contained in scorpion fluids showed diverse array of biological activities with high specificities to their targeted sites. Many investigations outlined their potent effects against microbes and showed their potential to modulate various biological mechanisms that are involved in immune, nervous, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases.
