The composition of their venoms is relatively simple as most toxins have a common structural motif that is found in other venoms from primitive species. Moreover, all the scorpion venom toxins principally act on membrane ionic channels of excitable cell...

O9: Securing Children in Cars from the Trauma Biomechanical Point of View. A Historical and Global Perspective
Since the 1960 Child Safety Systems in cars have been developed. The 3 point safety belt for adults rated as one of the 10 most important inventions for mankind, the seat belt has saved more than 1.5 Million lives. As well children have to be secured in a car but the 3 point belt is designed for adults. A 27 kg child is forced forward with 1.200 kg at 48 kph impact velocity. Here vulnerable bod...
متن کاملIntraspecific Diversity of Scorpions Venom and Its Implication in the Pathophysiological Effects
The present study was conducted to explore the following hypotheses: (i) do scorpions (the Egyptian scorpion Scorpio maurus palmatus) from different geographical locations exhibit intraspecific diversity in their venom? (ii) if so, is the variation associated with ecological or genetic factors, geographical distance, and/or multiple interrelated factors? and (iii) do the different toxins produc...
