Development of a New AMBER Force Field for Cysteine and Histidine Cadmium-Binding Proteins and Its Validation Through QM/MM MD Simulations. [PDF]

J Comput Chem
In the context of the AMBER parameterization, a new force field is developed and validated for the simulation of cadmium(II)‐binding proteins. The proposed force field takes into account the polarization effect produced by the central ion on its surroundings.

Modified rush venom immunotherapy in dogs with Hymenoptera hypersensitivity

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 532-542, December 2023., 2023
Background – Hymenoptera envenomation occurs frequently in people and dogs and can trigger anaphylaxis. Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is the only preventative treatment for Hymenoptera hypersensitivity and is indicated for people with severe adverse reactions to insect stings. Rush VIT is an accelerated VIT induction schedule performed in people.

Sensitivity of a Hymenoptera serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E assay for the diagnosis of venom hypersensitivity in dogs

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 543-553, December 2023., 2023
Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Historical ecology and current abundance of the translocated Chilla or Grey fox Lycalopex griseus on the large Tierra del Fuego Island shared by Argentina and Chile

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May 2023., 2023
In 1951, 24 animals of both sexes of Chilla or Grey fox from continental Magallanes region, Chile were released on Tierra del Fuego Island, to control a European rabbit irruption detrimental to sheep ranching. No attention has been paid to the temporal course of that introduction, so here we provide a historical account of the presence of those foxes ...

Perceived intrinsic, social, and environmental barriers for weight management in older Hispanic/Latino adults with obesity

Obesity Science &Practice, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 145-157, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The burden of obesity and chronic disease is increasing in the older US Hispanic/Latino adult population. There is limited evidence on successful weight management strategies as perceived by this population. Assessing barriers and opportunities for weight management using mixed methods is a robust approach to collect in‐depth ...

Effects of social networks on interventions to change conservation behavior

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Social networks are critical to the success of behavioral interventions in conservation because network processes such as information flows and social influence can enable behavior change to spread beyond a targeted group. We investigated these mechanisms in the context of a social marketing campaign to promote a wildlife poisoning hotline in ...

An endemic‐rich island through the eyes of children: Wildlife identification and conservation preferences in São Tomé (Gulf of Guinea)

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Species that the public knows and is willing to protect often do not align with international conservation priorities. Assessing perceptions on wildlife is thus essential to guide conservation initiatives, especially in island developing states where native and introduced species often have contrasting values for biodiversity.

Differences between poison and venom: An attempt at an integrative biological approach

Acta Zoologica, Volume 102, Issue 4, Page 337-350, October 2021., 2021
Abstract We discuss the use of the terms venom and poison, in the context of integrative biology, with particular emphasis on behaviour and natural history. Our purpose is to reach a broad scientific audience, especially that dedicated to zoology. The meaning of the two terms is reviewed from the secretory perspective, mainly focussed on the reptiles ...

Separación e identificación de algunas toxinas del veneno de Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais,1841) (Scorpiones : Buthidae)

Revista Peruana de Biología, 2013
Las proteínas del veneno del escorpión Centruroides margaritatus, fueron separadas mediante cromatografía de intercambio catiónico en CM-Sephadex C-25 con buffer acetato de amonio 0,05M a pH 7, a partir de 28,3 mg de veneno obtenidos de 52 ejemplares ...
