He studied details clinical signs and symptoms(Lancet 1982). He tried varies regimen includingdecongestivetreatmentbut found that alpha-1 blocker Prazosin a physiological and pharmacological antidote to scorpion venom action ( lancet 1986). Since the advent of parzosin the fatality is reduced to <1%. ( British heart journal ( 1998). Heand his team trained >30000 peripheral doctors regarding how to treatsevere scorpion sting casesat restricted resources. Scorpion antivenin is available from Haffkine institute the comparison between antivenin Vs Prazosin, fatality with scorpion antivenin treated group is high as compared to prazosin. Hence Prazosin is called poor man antivenin ( Journal of association of physician India 2007). Recently scorpion venom could be useful to reverse the Brugada syndromepublished in the lancet 10thNov 2007. prazosin was widely use for scorpion sting in Saudi Arabia(AR –AlasmariSaudi MedicalJournal 2008), Turkey(Bosnak M 2008 wilderness Environ Med in press)He was invited for scorpion envenoming meeting at Ciba foundation London 1994.
Snake bite- Russell viperEchis carinatusviper ( carpet viper), krait and cobra bite cases are common in farmers working at farm. Dose of snake antivenin ( lancet ;357:1132-33), clinical signs and symptoms(Transaction of Royal society tropical medicine and hygiene;Journal of wilderness medicine2003 ). krait is nocturnal it bites to the person slept of floor bedits fangs are short and sharp but is venom is 10 times more potent than cobra venom. Krait bite victim has no local sign at the site of biteaccompanied with pain in abdomen followed by neuroparalysisSnakebite, cocktailsand a girls with a stomach ache Lancet 2008 ;371:696
Dental fluorosiswas recognized in small village the source of fluorosis was bore well water. The fluoride content of bore well water was >3. 5PPM. Villagers were provided alternative drinking water hence the skeletal and other toxicity of fluorosis was prevented ( tropical doctor).
Villagers are aware and afraid of chest pain hence report earlier to the hospital andhence mostcases received thrombolysisin golden hours ( within 2 hours of chest pain)majority of them showed realizationof affected vessels. Common risk factors were bidi smoking, tobacco chewing,masheri ( paste of half burned tobacco)application to the gum in the morning ( tropical doctor).Simple bamboo cot with scrupulous use of mosquito net during night prevent krait bitescorpion stingmosquito born diseases likemalaria, filarial dengue feverencephalitis( lancet ).
