Scorpion sting pain: which way to treat?
The objective of reporting this case is to highlight the clinical usefulness of chloroquine in the management of scorpion sting pain with the hope of stimulating interest and research, especially in areas where local anesthetic agents may not be available. In this case reported here, lidocaine failed to provide sustained analgesia for pain relief following scorpion sting. Two milliliters of par...
متن کاملAssembling an arsenal: origin and evolution of the snake venom proteome inferred from phylogenetic analysis of toxin sequences.
We analyzed the origin and evolution of snake venom toxin families represented in both viperid and elapid snakes by means of phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences of the toxins and related nonvenom proteins. Out of eight toxin families analyzed, five provided clear evidence of recruitment into the snake venom proteome before the diversification of the advanced snakes (Kunitz-type pr...
متن کاملImproving the asthma arsenal.
Hochhaus and James Talton, an associate professor and postdoctoral associate, respectively , in the university's Department of Pharmaceutics; and James Fitz-Gerald of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, have begun using the new technique-pulse laser deposition-to coat glucocorticoids with thin layers of a biodegradable polymer. Glucocorticoids are the strongest and longest-lasting ...
متن کاملApplication of Botulinum toxin type A: an arsenal in dentistry.
An extremely effective way of preventing damage to and enhancing treatment of dental hard tissues and restorations would be to ''de-programme'' the muscles responsible for excessive destructive forces and other gnathological-related diseases. The new paradigm is the intramuscular injection of Botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX) into the affected muscles. It is a natural protein produced by anaerobic...
متن کاملApplications of self-assembling peptide scaffolds in regenerative medicine: the way to the clinic
Peptides that self-assemble into well-defined nanofibrous networks provide a prominent alternative to traditional biomaterials for fabricating scaffolds for use in regenerative medicine and other biomedical applications. Such scaffolds can be generated by decorating a peptide backbone with other bioactives such as cell specific adhesion peptides, growth factors and enzyme cleavable sequences. T...
