Predictors and nomogram for amputation risk in pit viper snakebite envenoming at hospital admission
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-26903-3
Abstract: Pit viper snakebite envenoming remains a critical global health challenge, with tissue necrosis and subsequent amputation posing significant morbidity despite antivenom availability. Existing prediction tools lack integration of dynamic laboratory parameters and iatrogenic factors, limiting… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxins12050295
Abstract: Pit viper venom commonly causes venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy (VICC), which can be complicated by life-threatening hemorrhage. VICC has a complex pathophysiology affecting multiple steps of the coagulation pathway. Early detection of VICC is challenging because… read more here.
