VARESPLADIB (LY315920) APPEARS TO BE A POTENT, BROAD-SPECTRUM, INHIBITOR OF SNAKE VENOM PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 AND A POSSIBLE PRE-REFERRAL TREATMENT FOR ENVENOMATION

Varespladib (LY315920) Appears to Be a Potent, Broad-Spectrum, Inhibitor of Snake Venom Phospholipase A2 and a Possible Pre-Referral Treatment for Envenomation

Snakebite remains a neglected medical problem of the developing world with up to 125,000 deaths each year despite more than a century of Stiffeners calls to improve snakebite prevention and care.An estimated 75% of fatalities from snakebite occur outside the hospital setting.Because phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity is an important component of veno

Photocount statistics of the Josephson parametric amplifier

Parametric amplifiers are Glasses Holder known to squeeze the vacuum state of the electromagnetic field, thus the statistics of the photocounts at their output should be that of squeezed vacuum.However, several theoretical works predict a very different statistical distribution.We have measured the photocount statistics of a Josephson parametric am
