Abstract: The snakes are the most feared reptiles on the earth, and inhabit the most inhospitable terrains of the world including dry lands, wetland and all the possible areas. The Bhadrawati region is having a large number snakes since ancient times and the name itself suggest that there are snakes in this region. So in order to assess biodiversity of snakes in the Bhadrawati region snakes were studied during monsoon season. Snakes plays important ecological role in food chain. Depletion of these animals throughout the globe and their extinction is causing a conscientious and diligent task to

Abstract:
Snakes are cold-blooded, legless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. They belong to the order - Squamates. They conjure contradictory feelings in man: fear and honor, disgust and admiration. Snake symbol is found in almost all cultures of the world. Snake is perceived variously by different nations and different religions. In one, the snake is a symbol of the environmental forces of nature, and in others it is associated with evil and chaos. Of the 3000 species of snakes in the globe, only 400 are poisonous. The aim of the present study is to analyze the clinical course, the specific treatment

Abstract:
Since there are nearly no indigenous poisonous snakes in Germany, snake bites by poisonous snakes are rare. Most serious snake bites reported to poison information centres or treated at hospitals are caused by exotic snakes that are kept in private households. Only few types of antivenom are stored in emergency depots in Germany including polyvalent antivenoms from commercial sources. Since experience with the treatment of poisonous snake bites is limited, the records of the Intensive Care Unit and the Poison Information Centre of the Universitätsklinikum Rudolf Virchow from 1980-1991 were eva

Snake bite is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. It is estimated that each year snake bite is responsible for 30,000 to 40,000 deaths world wide1. Most snake bites are innocuous and are delivered by non poisonous species. There are 15% of the more than 3000 species of snakes, which are considered dangerous to humans2.

Abstract:
Animals which were poisoned by snake venom require emergency veterinary attention right away; else, poor care may result in negative outcomes. Toxins in a poisonous snake's bite can produce snakebite envenoming, a condition that can be fatal. Snake venom is an intricate mixture of different compounds, including proteins, peptides, enzymes, non-protein poisons, carbohydrates, lipids, and amines. Protein makes up more than 90% of the dry weight of snake venom. Depending on the extent to which venom is delivered, a venomous snake bite could potentially be characterized as a true bite or a dry

Abstract:
Leaving poisonous plants behind for the time being, we look instead at the death of Cleopatra in Shakespeare’s play by venomous snake bite – the most likely culprit being the Egyptian Cobra (Naje haje). Snake venom contains a cocktail of toxic proteins and peptides that target the strongholds we need to stay alive – cells, nerves and blood. We will explore how the toxins are designed to stun, numb or kill the snake’s prey. Cleopatra’s death takes just a few lines of dialogue, which as we will discover, is much faster than the 1–2 h it usually takes for a fatal cobra envenomation. She also desc

Among the many eschatological images that George of Trebizond cites in his dramatic characteristic of Plato and the Platonists in Comparatio philosophorum Aristotelis et Platonis (1458), there is also a comparison of Platonic teachings with a serpent, a dragon, or the many-headed Hydra.
