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

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

The article discusses the relationship between humans and poisonous snakes in the context of critical animal studies. For a long time, this relationship developed mainly in the form of a conflict which significantly escalated during the colonial expansion of Europeans into tropical and subtropical regions. However, the invention of antivenom (anti-snake serums) at the beginning of the 20th century brings new aspects to the relationship between humans and poisonous snakes. The use of venom to obtain sera allows humans to gain power over the snakes, no longer requiring their extermination. The s

Abstract:

Nature endowed snakes with a lethal secretion known as venom, which has been fine-tuned over millions of years of evolution. Snakes utilize venom to subdue their prey and to survive in their natural habitat. Venom is known to be a very poisonous mixture, consisting of a variety of molecules, such as carbohydrates, nucleosides, amino acids, lipids, proteins and peptides. Proteins and peptides are the major constituents of the dry weight of snake venoms and are of main interest for scientific investigations as well as for various pharmacological applications. Snake venoms contain enzymatic and n

Abstract:

The present paper reports two cases of human envenoming by colubrid snakes of Philodryas, considered as not poisonous, showing evidence of the clinical aspects and the evolution of the symptoms of envenoming. The similarity of these cases with those caused by Bothrops suggests a more careful evaluation on the victims considering the medical treatment to be adopted.

Abstract:

Toxins are the poisonous products of organisms. Toxins serve vital defensive and offensive functions for those that harbor them: stinging scorpions, pesticidal plants, sanguinary snakes, fearless frogs, sliming snails, noxious newts, and smarting spiders. For physiologists, toxins are integral chemical tools that hijack life’s fundamental processes with remarkable molecular specificity. Our understanding of electrophysiological phenomena has been transformed time and time again with the help of some terrifying toxins. For this reason, studies of toxin mechanism are an important and enduring fa

Introduction. In tropical rural communities, snakebite envenomation is among the main causes of morbidity and mortality. It results in shock, hemorrhage, tissue necrosis, and swelling. Diagnosing and identifying snake species is challenging, necessitating thorough clinical assessments and point-of-care tests. Hence this case series examines follow up on the course of clinical care and management of snake envenomation cases in Erode District, India, a location known for poisonous snakes such as the spectacled cobra (Naja naja), Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii), and common krait (Bungarus caeru

Abstract:

Storytelling can stimulate learning by delivering scientific content within a narrative that increases comprehension and engagement. In this article I describe the coevolutionary arms race between toxic newts and predatory garter snakes. This engaging story centers on the use of a deadly neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin (TTX) as an antipredator defense. Some species of newts contain TTX in their tissues, but resistance to TTX has developed through convergent evolution in garter snakes and other species. TTX resistance results from mutated voltage-gated sodium channels. These channels, whether TT

Abstract:

Snakebite is a defense mechanism of snakes and can be a medical emergency. Snake venom contains a mixture of protein components that affect the functional activity of the target physiology. The structure of the poison in snake venom has different variations for different snake species. As for snakebite, it can be life-threatening if it has neurotoxic, cytotoxic, or hemotoxic toxic effects. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between snakebite incidence to osteomyelitis and cardiogenic shock. The results of this study can be used as a source of information and an objectiv

Abstract:

Modern toxicology focuses on studying adverse effects of poisons and chemical exposures but understanding the toxicity and risks developing antidotes and counter-poisons has taken science a long time. The lack of a proper theory in antiquity to treat poisoned patients didn’t allow for the improvement in diagnosis and treatment. However, in Papyrus Brooklyn 47.2180 dated to the fourth century bc, ancient Egyptians classified local snakes, poisonous symptoms, diagnosis, and simple treatments with drugs and magical incantations, ignoring the effectiveness of remedies and their potential side effe

Abstract:

Insect bites generally do not require treatment unless it is troublesome. Poisonous insects and venomous snakes need quick treatment and also severe allergic reaction – “anaphylaxis” from bites of bees, wasps, should be immediately taken care of, as they may lead to difficulty in respiration and other systemic troubles. This article deals with the therapeutic approach for allergic reactions to insect stings and bites with a short case report. Keywords: Insect stings, Bite, wound, allergy, anaphylactic reaction, Homoeopathy, Therapeutic approach.
