Black widow spider bite.
These two cases illustrate many classical features of latrodectism. A subclinical bite followed by extensive systemic signs and symptoms in a recognizable pattern is strongly suggestive of the diagnosis. Pain and muscle spasms are refractory to standard therapy but are relieved by intravenous calcium. Finally, there should be complete resolution of the symptoms after only one vial of antivenin ...
متن کاملEvolution of Black Widow Pulsars
We consider the evolution of black widow pulsars (BWPs). The large majority of these are members of globular clusters. For minimum companion masses < 0.1M ̄, adiabatic evolution and consequent mass loss under gravitational radiation appear to provide a coherent explanation of all observable properties. We suggest that the group of BWPs with minimum companion masses ∼> 0.1M ̄ are systems relaxing ...
متن کاملBlack Widow Pulsars: the Price of Promiscuity
The incidence of evaporating ‘black widow’ pulsars (BWPs) among all millisecond pulsars (MSPs) is far higher in globular clusters than in the field. This implies a special formation mechanism for them in clusters. Cluster MSPs in wide binaries with WD companions exchange them for turnoff–mass stars. These new companions eventually overflow their Roche lobes because of encounters and tides. The ...
متن کاملBlack widow spider bite: a case study.
This article is a case study of a patient cared for in the hours before her death. After the patient's death, we learned the patient died of a black widow spider bite. This article sheds light on the potential seriousness of this venom and allows for more rapid detection and treatment of those who are unfortunate enough to be bitten. The authors have documented the sequence of events for the pa...
متن کاملReversible Myocarditis after Black Widow Spider Envenomation
Black widow spiders can cause variable clinical scenarios from local damage to very serious conditions including death. Acute myocardial damage is rarely observed and its prognostic significance is not known. We report a rare case of a 35-year-old man who developed an acute myocarditis with cardiogenic pulmonary edema requiring mechanical ventilation caused by black widow spider's envenomation....
