In vitro nephrotoxicity of Russell's viper venom

Kidney International, 1995
To assess direct nephrotoxicity of Russell's viper venom (RVV; Daboia russelii siamensis), isolated rat kidneys were perfused in single pass for 120 min. Ten micrograms/ml and 100 micrograms/ml RVV were administered 60 minutes and 80 minutes, respectively, after starting the perfusion.

De Novo Genome Assembly Highlights the Role of Lineage-Specific Gene Duplications in the Evolution of Venom in Fea's Viper (Azemiops feae)

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2022
Despite the medical significance to humans and important ecological roles filled by vipers, few high-quality genomic resources exist for these snakes outside of a few genera of pitvipers. Here we sequence, assemble, and annotate the genome of Fea’s Viper

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.
