(2013)
La tasa de donación cadavérica en Costa Rica es baja por múltiples razones y es necesario estudiar que puntos pueden mejorarse. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir algunos aspectos sobre la percepción de los médicos ...
Dissociation of enzymatic and pharmacological properties of piratoxins-I and -III, two myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops pirajai snake venom
(2001-03-15)
Piratoxins (PrTX) I and III are phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) or PLA2 homologue myotoxins isolated from Bothrops pirajai snake venom, which also induce myonecrosis, bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli, disruption ...
Hyperalgesia induced by Asp49 and Lys49 phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom: pharmacological mediation and molecular determinants
(2003-05)
The ability of Lys49 and Asp49 phospholipases A2 (PLA2), from Bothrops asper snake venom, to cause hyperalgesia was investigated in rats, using the paw pressure test. Intraplantar injection of both toxins (5–20 μg/paw) ...
Public health implications of low birth weight
(1977)
The present paper interpets the significance of anthropometric data of newborns
from a typical Indian village of Guatemala and from the general population of Costa
Rica. A good correlation exists between a deficient fetal ...
Comparison between IgG and F(ab′)2 polyvalent antivenoms: neutralization of systemic effects induced by Bothrops asper venom in mice, extravasation to muscle tissue, and potential for induction of adverse reactions
(2001-06)
Whole IgG and F(ab′)2 equine-derived polyvalent (Crotalinae) antivenoms, prepared from the same batch of hyperimmune plasma, were compared in terms of neutralization of the lethal and defibrinating activities induced by ...
Cambios en el patrón electroforético del veneno de cascabela muda (Lachesis muta stenophrys) durante el almacenamiento bajo diferentes condiciones
(1985)
Liquid and lyophilized samples of Lachesis muta venom were stored at different temperatures and for different periods of time, and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and immunoelectrophoresis. Only slight ...
A biocomputational platform for the automated construction of large-scale mathematical models of miRNA-transcription factor networks for studies on gene dosage compensation
(2016-11-09)
Cancer complexity and resistance is mediated by
cell-to-cell heterogeneity, which is the consequence of the
enormous instability of its genetic material. It is unknown how
cancer cells are able to withstand the effects ...
Danger in the reef: Proteome, toxicity, and neutralization of the venom of the olive sea snake, Aipysurus laevis
(2015-12-01)
Four specimens of the olive sea snake, Aipysurus laevis, were collected off the coast of Western Australia, and the venom proteome was characterized and quantitatively estimated by RP-HPLC, SDS-PAGE, and MALDI-TOF-TOF ...
Skeletal muscle necrosis and regeneration after injection of Thalassophryne nattereri (niquim) fish venom in mice
(2001-02)
Stings by Thalassophryne nattereri are responsible for envenomation of fishermen in north-eastern Brazil. Its venom induces prominent local tissue damage, characterized by pain, oedema and necrosis. The pathogenesis of ...
