Journal Article
Development of simple standard assay procedures for the characterization of snake venom.
R. D. G. Theakston,H. A. Reid +1 more
TL;DR: Methods have been developed for the assessment of lethal, defibrinogenating, procoagulant, haemorrhagic, and necrotizing properties of venoms, and used to study 53 venoms from 30 different species of snakes of medical importance throughout the world, which should result in the production of more potent antivenoms for use in both developing and developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Snake venoms and coagulopathy.
TL;DR: Where available, antivenom is the most effective treatment, while standard treatments for other forms of coagulopathy, such as factor replacement therapy and heparin are either ineffective or dangerous in snakebite coagULopathy, except in specific situations.

TL;DR: The clinical and epidemiological features, as well as complications presented by 39 patients with Bothrops, Porthidium and Bothriechis snakebites, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Isolation and Properties of the Thrombin-like Activity from Ancistrodon rhodostoma Venom
M. P. Esnouf,G. W. Tunnah +1 more
TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of the thrombin-like activity from the whole venom is described, finding that dogs injected with partially purified preparations of the venom would be protected from artificially induced thrombosis of the vena cava.

Simple Methods for Measuring Serum Levels of the Glutamic-oxalacetic and Glutamic-pyruvic Transaminases in Routine Laboratories
A. F. Mohun,I. J. Y. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: The procedures described here are the result of work aimed at establishing simple and economical techniques which would not require the use of apectrophotometer, and have been adapted to meet requirements imposed by the regulations to avoid both the precipitation of proteins and the measurement of alkaline solution by colorimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Intravascular Clotting in the Etiology of Shock
TL;DR: It would seem desirable to summarize in one paper the significant results and offer a theory of shock which has been evolved from these results.
