Abstract
Evaluation of The Toxicity of Scorpion Venom and Digoxin on Human Cardiovascular System and in Decomposition Arthropods Succession Using Rat Carrions
Highlights
Digitalis purpurea, a type of foxglove, is the source of digoxin
Digoxin is used for treating a variety of heart problems, digoxin toxicity is clinically important as it can lead to mortal cardiac arrhythmias
Scorpion (Leiurus quinquestriatus) is one of the maximum risky scorpions in the world, which causes cardiotoxic effects. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the toxic effect of scorpion venom and digoxin on the human cardiovascular system and a comparative study between the death and decomposition of rat carrions in a natural way, scorpion stings and the toxicity of digoxin
Summary
A type of foxglove, is the source of digoxin. It belongs to the digitalis class and is a cardiotonic glycoside. Digoxin's chemical formula is C41 H64 O14 Cardiac glycosides, such as digitalis and digoxin, have been used in clinical practice for a long time. This medicine was approved by the FDA in 1954 and is used to treat a variety of cardiac conditions including atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure with accompanying symptoms(Grubb & Mentz 2020). ECG findings of the toxic effect of scorpion venom and digoxin on human and the second part; decomposition arthropods succession using rat carrions.
