Methanol poisoning of western tourists makes international headlines, but those most commonly affected are from countries where diagnosis and treatment options are limited.
Eco-climatic and other environmental gradients significantly influence the geographic distribution of reptiles. In Bangladesh, the known range of Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) has expanded extensively in recent decades. Using species distribution modelling, we analysed habitat suitability, dispersal pathways, interspecific competition, and population dynamics to explore the drivers behind this phenomenon. Our findings indicate a five-fold increase in climatically suitable area (76,716 km²) s
Methanol poisoning is a tragic and avoidable health emergency that threatens life and often leads to irreversible disability. It primarily occurs when people unwittingly consume beverages contaminated with the chemical compound under the guise of alcoholic spirits. Although reliable data on its burden are unavailable, methanol poisoning is thought to be increasing globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Current scholarship related to methanol poisoning draws........
The green pit viper (Trimeresurus gramineus) is a venomous snake commonly encountered in South Asia, particularly in Bangladesh, and responsible for many snakebite incidents. Management of its envenoming is challenging due to the lack of a specific antivenom, requiring symptomatic and supportive care to address complications. The following case report represents the complexities in managing such envenomation with associated renal and venous thrombotic complications.
