Adverse reactions to snake antivenom, and their prevention and treatment.
Antivenom is the mainstay of treatment of snakebite envenoming. However, adverse reactions to snake antivenom that is available are common in many parts of the world where snakebite is prevalent.

Acute reactions are usually mild but severe systemic anaphylaxis may develop, often within an hour or so of exp...
متن کاملIntravenous administration of adipose-derived stromal cells does not ameliorate bleomycin-induced lung injury in rats
Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been studied intensively in regenerative medicine. Among MSCs, adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) are relatively easy to obtain from a patient. Since ASCs are ideal candidates for use in the treatment of disease states including pulmonary fibrosis, we investigated whether intravenous injection of ASCs could exert a therapeutic effect ag...

متن کاملThe hidden menace of non-equine horses.
An emergency department audit of horse-related injury presentations alerted researchers to a hitherto uninvestigated source of childhood harm: non-equine horses. A search for the term "horse" in the database of the South Australian Injury Surveillance and Control Unit was performed for presentations of horse-related injuries to a paediatric emergency department of an Australian tertiary teachin...
متن کاملDoes Long-Term Administration of a Beta-Blocker (Timolol) Induce Fibril-Based Cataract Formation In-vivo?
Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist administered for treating glaucoma, heart attacks and hypertension. In the present study, we set out to determine whether or not timolol can provoke cataract formation, thus the influence of timolol on the amyloid-type aggregation of crystallin was investigated. We then provided experimental evidence of crystallin aggregation and it...
