TL;DR: It is concluded that batimastat, and probably other synthetic metalloproteinase inhibitors, may become useful therapeutic tools aimed at the in situ inhibition of venom metalliproteinases, when injected at the site of the bite rapidly after envenomation.

TL;DR: Toxinology has become a fruit- ful and stimulating research field in Latin America which has contibuted to a better understanding of snake venoms as well as to an improved management of snakebitten patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived holographic wave equations for hadrons with arbitrary spin starting from an effective action in a higher-dimensional space asymptotic to anti-de Sitter (AdS) space.
Abstract: In this paper we derive holographic wave equations for hadrons with arbitrary spin starting from an effective action in a higher-dimensional space asymptotic to anti--de Sitter (AdS) space. Our procedure takes advantage of the local tangent frame, and it applies to all spins, including half-integer spins. An essential element is the mapping of the higher-dimensional equations of motion to the light-front Hamiltonian, thus allowing a clear distinction between the kinematical and dynamical aspects of the holographic approach to hadron physics. Accordingly, the nontrivial geometry of pure AdS space encodes the kinematics, and the additional deformations of AdS space encode the dynamics, including confinement. It thus becomes possible to identify the features of holographic QCD, which are independent of the specific mechanisms of conformal symmetry breaking. In particular, we account for some aspects of the striking similarities and differences observed in the systematics of the meson and baryon spectra.

TL;DR: The present study reports the first proteomic analysis of the black mamba venom, which revealed a complex venom constituted predominantly by proteins belonging to the Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor family, which comprises the dendrotoxins, and to α-neurotoxins of the three-finger toxin family.
