Detection of venom after antivenom is not associated with persistent coagulopathy in a prospective cohort of Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) envenomings. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Venom recurrence or persistence in the circulation after antivenom treatment has been documented many times in viper envenoming. However, it has not been associated with clinical recurrence for many snakes, including Russell's viper (Daboia spp.).

Vascular dysfunction in women with recurrent pregnancy loss: Possible association with antiphospholipid antibodies

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 206-214, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are recognized to have a pivotal role in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we assessed the vascular function of women with RPL and examined the association with each type of aPL.

The Crude Venom of the Whitetail Lancehead, Bothrops leucurus, and Two of Its Enzymatic Components Are Selectively Cytotoxic for Glioma Cells In Vitro

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains its most aggressive and incurable form. Snake venoms contain bioactive compounds with promising antitumoral properties against several cancer types.

Prognostic value of contrast‐enhanced ultrasound in dogs with acute renal injury treated with haemodialysis

Veterinary Record, Volume 196, Issue 6, 15/22 March 2025.
Abstract Background It is clinically relevant to predict outcomes in dogs with acute kidney injury (AKI) treated with haemodialysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and its role in discriminating between AKI and acute impairment associated with chronic kidney disease (AKI/CKD).

Fine‐tuning ab initio XANES spectra calculations using the Bayesian optimization algorithm

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
A Bayesian optimization technique is used to tune the FEFF and FDMNES packages and to improve matching between theoretical and experimental spectra. The tests were performed on monometallic Ni, Fe and Pd K‐edge XANES spectra using several different spectrum similarity metrics.Theoretical modeling of X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) spectra ...
