Venoms

Poisonous animal secretions forming fluid mixtures of many different enzymes, toxins, and other substances. These substances are produced in specialized glands and secreted through specialized delivery systems (nematocysts, spines, fangs, etc.) for disabling prey or predator.

1.	Bites and Stings (Sting) 06/01/1981 - "Clinical studies suggested that venom-antibody titres too low to be detected by ELISA may be boosted with further bites; and more importantly, homologous venom-antibody may afford significant protection against further envenoming. " 01/01/2020 - "Early injection of anti-mamushi venom serum (antiserum) is believed to be effective for the treatment of patients with mamushi bites. " 01/01/2018 - "However, choosing the correct venom for VIT represents a necessary prerequisite for efficient protection against further anaphylactic sting reactions after VIT. " 01/01/2018 - "Thus, venom exposed to CO could remain partially or completely inhibited in whole blood long enough for clearance from the circulation, allowing rabbits to be a useful model to test the efficacy of regional CO administration to the bite site. " 01/01/2020 - "Novel Treatment Strategy for Patients with Venom-Induced Consumptive Coagulopathy from a Pit Viper Bite."
2.	Snake Bites (Snake Bite) 10/01/1981 - "Further studies are needed to determine whether high venom-antibody levels afford protection against further snake envenoming." 01/01/2022 - "To develop effective treatment for this snakebite, it is necessary to understand the detailed venom composition. " 01/01/2006 - "A readily available source of this venom will be useful for all pharmacological and biotechnological studies, as well as providing an improved avenue for treatments of snakebites. " 11/01/2003 - "Preliminary evaluation with 140 samples taken from 88 human snakebite victims in Vietnam showed that the kit could detect venom in human samples and would be a very useful tool for fast identification of snakebites in clinics." 01/01/2011 - "The review demands thorough understanding of venom pharmacology, inculcating new strategies to handle and to enhance the efficacy of snakebite management and urge the governing systems of affected countries to take steps to curtail accidental debilitation and death rate of healthy individuals due to snakebite."
3.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 08/01/1996 - "Clinical studies have been designed to compare the safety and efficacy of fire ant venom with whole body extract for diagnosis and treatment of fire ant allergy." 01/01/1992 - "Clinical studies under way are designed to compare the safety and efficacy of fire ant venom (IFAV) with IFA whole body extract (WBE) for diagnosis and treatment of fire ant allergy." 10/30/2020 - "The F(ab')2AV Phase 3 comparative clinical trial demonstrated similar efficacy in treating venom-caused hematologic toxicity, similar rates of Types I and III hypersensitivity reactions, and a lower rate of recurrent hematological effects than FabAV. " 10/01/1992 - "Safety and efficacy of fire ant venom in the diagnosis of fire ant allergy." 08/01/2018 - "Honeybee (Apis mellifera) venom (HBV) represents an ideal model to study the role of particular venom components in allergic reactions in sensitized individuals as well as in the eusociality of Hymenoptera species. "
4.	Anaphylaxis (Anaphylactic Shock) 10/01/2005 - "SIT is also effective for venom anaphylaxis. " 11/01/2021 - "We searched the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases for relevant studies reporting at least 10 anaphylaxis events (due to food or venom) from 1946 until January 2020. " 01/01/2021 - "Phenotype and risk factors of venom-induced anaphylaxis: A case-control study of the European Anaphylaxis Registry." 09/01/2015 - "This study reports the first systemic reaction to venom SPT and the first anaphylactic reaction after drug SPT. " 12/01/1989 - "These studies suggest no distinguishing characteristics, including age, that would identify patients susceptible to severe venom anaphylaxis and confirm the prophylactic effectiveness of VIT."
5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/27/2020 - "The venom is used on the island of Cuba as an alternative cure for cancer and, more recently, in the research of active components for biomedicine. " 09/01/2023 - "Cancer is still an area of continuous research for finding more effective and selective agents, so our study aimed to explore new anticancer medicines from Cone snails' venoms as marine natural products with promising biological activities. " 12/01/2022 - "Concerning the above problem, the purpose of this study was to discover an anti-cancer compound from Caspian cobra venom. " 12/01/2022 - "According to the present study and other studies, there is an ample evidence that hWJ-MSCs-CM and the venom IC50 abolish tumor growth." 03/02/2022 - "Recent studies have shown that Apis mellifera syriaca venom possesses antibacterial as well as cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines.
