Download or read book Scorpion Venoms written by P. Gopalakrishnakone and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the field of Toxinology has expanded substantially. On the one hand it studies venomous animals, plants and micro organisms in detail to understand their mode of action on targets. While on the other, it explores the biochemical composition, genomics and proteomics of toxins and venoms to understand their three interaction with life forms (especially humans), development of antidotes and exploring their pharmacological potential. Therefore, Toxinology has deep linkages with biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy and pharmacology. In addition, there is a fast developing applied subfield, clinical toxinology, which deals with understanding and managing medical effects of toxins on human body. Given the huge impact of toxin-based deaths globally, and the potential of venom in generation of drugs for so-far incurable diseases (for example, Diabetes, Chronic Pain), the continued research and growth of the field is imminent. This has led to the growth of research in the area and the consequent scholarly output by way of publications in journals and books. Despite this ever growing body of literature within biomedical sciences, there is still no all-inclusive reference work available that collects all of the important biochemical, biomedical and clinical insights relating to Toxinology. The Handbook of Toxinology aims to address this gap and cover the field of Toxinology comprehensively.

Download or read book The Scorpion written by Albert Memmi and published by Penguin Adult HC/TR. This book was released on 1971 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A composite philosophical work with a modern pretext and a very traditional questing spirit. It concerns two North African brothers during the period of decolonization -- Marcel, a successful, pragmatic doctor, and Emile, a writer obsessed with the riddle of himself and his existence. Emile has disappeared and Marcel, charged with organizing a drawerful of writings, is forced into reluctant intimacy with his brother's mind. The chronicles, stories and confessions, seemingly random at first, slowly disclose an order as levels of a single truth which Emile has attempted to reach; and, curiously, as Marcel's resistance is overcome he begins to recognize the same impulse in himself, past and present. Their existential problem is symbolized by the scorpion in a game of torture: when it can't escape a ring of fire it stings itself -- deliberately or accidentally in frenzy? Fatally or to be briefly stunned? And of the game itself and its spectators, what are their motives and what is revealed? Obviously it takes some nerve to venture into such areas as fully as Memmi does -- risking bombast, dullness, and, not least, a frightening degree of self-exposure -- and that risk is not only the acknowledged heart of his meaning but a measure of his success. As impressive as the honest intelligence is the fact that such a range and depth of awareness have been martialled into unified and compelling fiction."--Kirkus
