Extractions: scientific name: Loxosceles reclusa Gertsch and Mulaik (Arachnida: Araneae: Sicariidae) The brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa female I called the Florida Poison Control Network to confirm these numbers, and was cited 182 total cases and 96 in the Tampa region. The actual numbers are less important than the fact that a significant number of unconfirmed brown recluse spider bites are reported in the state every year. Yet not one specimen of brown recluse spider has ever been collected in Tampa, and the only records of Loxosceles species in the entire region are from Orlando and vicinity. A general review of the brown recluse, along with a critical examination of the known distribution of brown recluse and related spiders in Florida, seems in order at this time. Loxosceles reclusa was described by Gertsch and Mulaik (1940) from Texas. At the time of the first revision of the genus Loxosceles in the Americas (Gertsch 1958), the known distribution ranged from Central Texas to southern Kansas, east through middle Missouri to western Tennessee and northern Alabama, and south to southern Mississippi. Gorham (1968) added Illinois, Kentucky and northern Georgia. Later, he added Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, with scattered introductions in other states, including Florida; his map indicated a record in the vicinity of Tallahassee (Gorham 1970).

Extractions: by Rick Vetter , M.S. In southern California, as in many other parts of the country, spiders get blamed as the cause of many varied wounds in medical diagnoses. In virtually every case, NEVER is a spider seen or felt inflicting a bite, nor is the alleged spider collected in the incident. "Potential spider bite" diagnoses are made solely on the symptoms of the lesion. In the case of necrotic wounds, "brown recluse spider bite" is a very common conclusion of medical personnel throughout the United States. This is in spite of the fact that the brown recluse spider ( Loxosceles reclusa ) is native only to the Central southern states (circumscribed by Nebraska south to Texas, east to Georgia and Kentucky with additional rare finds being made beyond this area). The members of the genus Loxosceles are known as violin or fiddleback spiders. Occasional, RARE occurrences of the brown recluse do occur outside this region because of the spider's proclivity to hide in boxes and the subsequent movement of possessions or commerce from its native area. However, occurrences outside the native areas encompass finds of single specimens only, not burgeoning populations of these spiders. When one finds a habitat that is conducive to violin spider survival, no matter what the species, one does not find single specimens; one finds dozens of them. They are typically considered to be a house spider and it isn't uncommon to find dozens of them under a single bed or doghouse when the habitat is right.
Extractions: Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 USA Published in the International Journal of Dermatology, volume 37, page 481-496, July 1998, Toxicologically, there is far more diversity in spider venoms than in the venoms of Hymenoptera and scorpions, so that the correct identification of spider bites has special significance. Spiders are rarely correctly identified by bite victims or their physicians and are readily transported by human commerce out of their native range. There are stellar reviews of the toxicology of arthropod venoms and poisons , as well as an excellent quick guide to bites and stings of arthropods Evolution of the sting The most common stinging animals are in the insect order Hymenoptera (meaning "veil wings"), which includes the bees, wasps and ants. The most primitive Hymenoptera possess ovipositors to insert eggs into plant tissue. In some parasitic groups this structure and glands associated with it have been modified to inject venom to paralyze other insects which are used as food by the developing larvae. (These parasitic wasps comprise the largest number of species in the Hymenoptera, and are extremely beneficial to agriculture as biological control agents of agricultural pest insects.) The stings of these parasitic wasps are not usually very painful to humans, and their venom has low mammalian toxicity

Hope For Rwanda: Conversations With Laure Guilbert And Herv Deguine Andre Sibomana died of lyells syndrome in Rwanda in 1998. He was refuseda passport by the Rwandan government until 4 March, 1998 http://www.legallibraries.com/Hope_for_Rwanda_Conversations_With_Laure_Guilbert_
Extractions: Andre Sibomana was a phenomenal human being. The son of a wood sculpturer from Masango in the Gitarama prefecture, he rose to become one of the most prominent figures in Rwanda. As the priest of Muyunzwe from 1982-86, his parishiners called him "the wild animal," which translates more precisely from Kinyarwandan as "the wild animal which does not devour, does not crush the crops and does not do harm"(p. 16). Sibomana lived by the principle of human dignity. So when suspect perpetrators of the genocide were (and continue to be) rotting, literally, en masse in prisons established by the RPF since July, 1994, he spoke out, and then followed word with action by providing aid and improving the revolting living conditions. So too did he speak out of RPF reprisal killings. But his voice, once again, fell on oftentimes deft ears in the international community.

Extractions: Before the emergence of the HIV epidemic, human infection due to Toxoplasma gondii Incidence Diagnosis Patients with TE usually present with subacute fever, headaches, and various neurological manifestations, such as confusion, coma, motor defects, visual abnormalities, and seizures. Computed tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain show multiple abscesses, surrounded by brain edema. The brain lesions are often sufficiently characteristics to allow strong suspicion of the diagnosis and initiation of therapy. However, when the first cases occurred, the diagnosis could not be made using these modalities, and brain biopsy was used to recognize the histopathological lesions of TE; today, when the brain lesions are less typical, brain biopsy is still used for this purpose. In1982-1983, for the very first cases, a surgical biopsy was performed. More recently, owing to a noticeable rate of surgical adverse events, stereotactic sampling has become preferred, as it provides a nearly equivalent diagnostic benefit, with fewer complications
