متن کاملAntivenom for Neuromuscular Paralysis Resulting From Snake Envenoming
Antivenom therapy is currently the standard practice for treating neuromuscular dysfunction in snake envenoming. We reviewed the clinical and experimental evidence-base for the efficacy and effectiveness of antivenom in snakebite neurotoxicity. The main site of snake neurotoxins is the neuromuscular junction, and the majority are either: (1) pre-synaptic neurotoxins irreversibly damaging the pr...
متن کاملThe greater black krait (Bungarus niger), a newly recognized cause of neuro-myotoxic snake bite envenoming in Bangladesh.

متن کاملIsolation and properties of lysophospholipases from the venom of an Australian elapid snake, Pseudechis australis.
Two lysophospholipases were isolated from the venom of an Australian elapid snake (subfamily Acanthophiinae), Pseudechis australis, by sequential chromatography on CM-52 cellulose, Sephadex G-75 and DE-52 cellulose columns. They were very similar to each other. One of them, lysophospholipase I, was obtained as a homodimer, the monomer of which consisted of 123 amino acid residues with seven dis...
