HUMP-NOSED PIT VIPER (HYPNALE HYPNALE) VENOM-INDUCED IRREVERSIBLE RED BLOOD CELL AGGREGATION, INHIBITION BY MONOVALENT ANTI-VENOM AND N-ACETYLCYSTEINE

Hump-Nosed Pit Viper (Hypnale hypnale) Venom-Induced Irreversible Red Blood Cell Aggregation, Inhibition by Monovalent Anti-Venom and N-Acetylcysteine

Envenomation by the Hypnale hypnale in the Western Ghats of India (particularly in the Malabar region of Kerala) and the subcontinent island nation of Sri Lanka is known to inflict devastating mortality and Dip Sets morbidity.Currently, H.hypnale bites in India are devoid of anti-venom regimens.A detailed characterization of the venom is essential

The Boring Monopole

We study false vacuum decays catalysed by magnetic monopoles which act as tunnelling sites with exponentially enhanced decay rates.The field profiles describing the decay do not have the typically assumed $O(3)/O(4)$ symmetry, thus requiring an extension of the usual decay rate calculation.To numerically determine the saddle point solutions which d

Clinical decision support systems to optimize adherence to anticoagulant guidelines in patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract Background Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have been utilized as a low-cost intervention to improve healthcare process measures.Thus, we aim to estimate CDSS efficacy to optimize adherence to oral anticoagulant guidelines in eligible patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized

Rabdoviruses of pike (Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1758), eel (Anguilla anguilla Linnaeus, 1758), brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758), perch (Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758) and pikeperch (Stizostedion lucioperca Linnaeus, 1758) (a review)

Purpose.Rhabdoviruses are the most abundant and widespread fish pathogens.Viruses from five genera (Sprivivirus, Perhabdovirus, Siniperhavirus, Scophrhavirus and Novirhabdovirus) of the Rhabdoviridae family infect various fish species, including cyprinids (Cypriniformes), salmonids (Salmoniformes), percids (Perciformes), flatfishes (Pleuronectidae)
