1. Retraction notice for: “Risk factors for early-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients” [Braz J Med Biol Res (2018) 51(7): e6830]
Due to its various structures in bio-compounds, snake venom is the indisputable result of evolutionary stages of molecules with an increasingly complex structure, high specificity, and of great importance for medicine because of their potential. The present study proposed an underpinning examination of venom composition from nine species of venomous snakes u

2. Protein structure of the venom in nine species of snake: from bio-compounds to possible healing agents
Due to its various structures in bio-compounds, snake venom is the indisputable result of evolutionary stages of molecules with an increasingly complex structure, high specificity, and of great importance for medicine because of their potential. The present study proposed an underpinning examination of venom composition from nine species of venomous snakes u

3. Pharmacological characterization of cnidarian extracts from the Caribbean Sea: evaluation of anti-snake venom and antitumor properties
Abstract Background: Cnidarians produce toxins, which are composed of different polypeptides that induce pharmacological effects of biotechnological interest, such as antitumor, antiophidic and anti-clotting activities. This study aimed to evaluate toxicological activities and potential as antitumor and antiophidic agents contained in total extracts from fi

4. The red seaweed Plocamium brasiliense shows anti-snake venom toxic effects
Background Snakebite is considered a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization. In Brazil, about 70% of the envenomation cases are caused by Bothrops snakes. Its venom may provoke hemorrhage, pain, necrosis, hemolysis, renal or cardiac failure and even death in victims. Since commercial antivenom does not efficiently neutralize the local t

5. Preliminary assessment of Hedychium coronarium essential oil on fibrinogenolytic and coagulant activity induced by Bothrops and Lachesis snake venoms
Background The search for new inhibitors of snake venom toxins is essential to complement or even replace traditional antivenom therapy, especially in relation to compounds that neutralize the local effects of envenomations. Besides their possible use as alternative to traditional antivenom therapy, some plant species possess bioactive secondary metabolites

6. Potential of quixaba (Sideroxylon obtusifolium) latex as a milk-clotting agent
There are several obstacles to the use of chymosin in cheese production. Consequently, plant proteases have been studied as possible rennet substitutes, but most of these enzymes are unsuitable for the manufacture of cheese. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of latex from Sideroxylon obtusifolium as a source of milk-clotting proteases and t

7. Isolated biomolecules of pharmacological interest in hemostasis from Cerastes cerastes venom
Biomolecules from Cerastes cerastes venom have been purified and characterized. Two phospholipases isolated from Cerastes cerastes venom share 51% of homology. CC2-PLA2 exhibits antiplatelet activity that blocks coagulation. CCSV-MPase, a non-hemorrhagic Zn2+-metalloproteinase, significantly reduced the plasmatic fibrinogen level and hydrolyzes only its Bβ

8. Purificação e caracterização biológica de uma nova serinoprotease com atividade trombina"like" do veneno total de Brothrops andianus (TLBan) / Purification and biological characterization of a new serine protease with thrombin "like" activity the whole venom of Brothrops andianus (TLBan)
In this word, a new serine protease with thrombin "like" activity the venom of Bothrops andianus (TLBan), snake of the Andes of Peru, was isolated by two steps: molecular exclusion chromatography G-75 and liquid chromatography in reversed-phase HPLC; with a high degree of purity and molecular homegenidade. Through of electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE shows the TLB

9. Cross-neutralization of the coagulant activity of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom from the northeast of Argentina by bivalent bothropic antivenom
Cross-neutralization of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom coagulant activity was tested using bivalent horse antivenom against Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops diporus venoms. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that bothropic antivenom neutralizes the thrombin-like activity of crotalic snake venom and this cross-reaction was demonstrated by immunoa

10. Pharmacological action of tick saliva upon haemostasis and the neutralization ability of sera from repeatedly infested hosts
Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods widely distributed in the world and vectors of several diseases. As haematophagy demands evasion strategies and repeatedly infested hosts develop protective immune responses, we investigated the mechanisms of the Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus saliva anti-haemostatic activity and the possible relationship between the a

11. A methodology for optimising the removal of cyanobacteria cells from a brazilian eutrophic water
This work is concerned with optimizing the performance of the coagulation process in terms of the removal of intact cyanobacteria cells and saxitoxins (STX). The evaluation has been carried out through bench-scale jar tests to construct coagulation diagrams for aluminium sulphate, polyaluminium chloride (PACl) and ferric chloride. The test water was taken fr

12. Biochemical comparison of venoms from young Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis and their parents
Crotalus durissus cumanensis, a rattlesnake endemic to Colombia and Venezuela, is considered one of the most lethal snake species in Latin America. The aim of the present study was to compare the protein content and biological activity of the venom obtained from eight specimens of C. durissus cumanensis, namely two adults from different localities of Colombi
