Prevalence of low 25 OH-Vitamin D levels in Costa Rican university students
(2023)
Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de hipovitaminosis D3 y sus características clínicas y
bioquímicas en una población de universitarios costarricenses.
Métodos: Investigación transversal y descriptiva en un total de 118 ...
Tissue Localization and Extracellular Matrix Degradation by PI, PII and PIII Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: Clues on the Mechanisms of Venom-Induced Hemorrhage
(2015-04-24)
Snake venom hemorrhagic metalloproteinases (SVMPs) of the PI, PII and PIII classes were
compared in terms of tissue localization and their ability to hydrolyze basement membrane
components in vivo, as well as by a ...
Immunoenzymatic quantitation of antibodies to Bothrops asper myotoxins after polyvalent antivenom administration in mice.
(1992)
Two quantitative enzyme-immunoassays (EIA) for Bothrops asper myotoxin and anti-myotoxin antibodies, respectively, were utilized to study their in vivo distribution in mice (Swiss, 18 to 20 g). 2. After polyvalent antivenom ...
Lettuce for Human Consumption Collected in Costa Rica Contains Complex Communities of Culturable Oxytetracycline- and Gentamicin-Resistant Bacteria
(2006-09)
The present widespread use of antimicrobials in crop farming is based upon their successful application in
human medicine. However, recent evidence suggests that the massive anthropogenic release of antimicrobials into ...
Effects of Bothrops asper snake venom on lymphatic vessels: insights into a hidden aspect of envenomation
(PlosOne 2(10):e318, 2008-10-15)
Background: Envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper represent a serious medical problem in Central America and parts of South America. These envenomations concur with drastic local tissue pathology, including a prominent ...
Second generation snake antivenomics: Comparing immunoaffinity and immunodepletion protocols
(2012-09-15)
A second generation antivenomics protocol, based on affinity chromatography, was compared with a previously (first generation) immunodepletion protocol using as a proof of principle the pan-African EchiTAb-Plus-ICP® IgG ...
Role of the animal model on the pharmacokinetics of equine-derived antivenoms
(2013-08)
Antivenom pharmacokinetics has been studied in heterologous models in which the animal species used as immunoglobulin source is different from that used as recipient. In these models, after intravenous administration of ...
Antivenomic Assessment of the Immunological Reactivity of EchiTAb-Plus-ICP, an Antivenom for the Treatment of Snakebite Envenoming in Sub-Saharan Africa
(2010)
The immunoreactivity of EchiTAb-Plus-ICP, an antivenom developed for the treatment of snakebite envenoming in sub-Saharan Africa, to venoms of seven Echis and Bitis species, was assessed by “antivenomics.” This proteomic ...
Divergent functional profiles of acidic and basic phospholipases A2 in the venom of the snake Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii
(2016-09-01)
The Lansberg’s hognose pitviper, Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii, inhabits northern Colombia. A recent
proteomic characterization of its venom (J. Proteomics [2015] 114, 287e299) revealed the presence of
phospholipases ...
