human snake bitten poisoning is a serious threat in many tropical and subtropical countries such as iran. the best acceptable treatment of envenomated humans is antivenoms; however they have a series of economic and medical problems and need more improvements. in this study a combinatorial human immunoglobulin gene library against some of iranian snakes venoms was constructed. total rna prepare...

  Objective(s): Snake venoms contain complex mixture of proteins with biological activities. Some of these proteins affect blood coagulation and platelet function in different ways. Snake venom toxin may serve as a starting material for drug design to combat several pathophysiological problems such as cardiovascular disorders. In the present study, purification of anticoagulation facto...

Let G be a graph with p vertices and q edges and A = {0, 1, 2, . . . , [q/2]}. A vertex labeling f : V (G) → A induces an edge labeling f∗ defined by f∗(uv) = f(u) + f(v) for all edges uv. For a ∈ A, let vf (a) be the number of vertices v with f(v) = a. A graph G is said to be vertex equitable if there exists a vertex labeling f such that for all a and b in A, |vf (a) − vf (b)| ≤ 1 and the indu...

The aim of this study was to report a new cause of cataract, namely snake bite induced cataract in a dog. A 3-year-old male mongrel dog was referred to our clinic for the assessment of cataract in both eyes. The dog was bitten by a snake nearly 4 months ago. A 40 dioptre acrylic lens with 13 mm haptics was implanted into the lens capsule. In the left eye, posterior synechia was detected in the ...

Recent work [Ecoscience (2000) vol. 7, 395-397] suggests that the burying beetle Nicrophorus pustulatus may have undergone a remarkable host shift, exploiting snake eggs rather than carrion as resources for breeding. We conducted behavioural and physiological experiments to examine the hypothesis of a host shift and to formulate hypotheses on its origin. Two congeners of N. pustulatus, Nicropho...

background and objective: scorpion sting and snakebite are the important problems in some area such as iran that must be addressed. this study was to investigate temporal pattern of scorpion sting and snakebite incidence in patients referred to masjedsoleiman’s main hospital, during 24 months from 21 march 2008 to 20 march 2009. materials and methods: it was an analytical study to scrutiny of m...
