Unlike traumatic compartment syndrome there have been no documented cases of ischemic limb injury after envenomated patients have received antivenom. Furthermore, there is experimental evidence that fasciotomy worsens myonecrosis. This has led medical toxicologists and surgical guidelines to shift from liberally recommending fasciotomy to near universal recommendation of antivenom alone. Despite this, fasciotomies continue to be recommended and performed on rattle...

First Record of Steatoda trianguloides Levy, 1991 (Araneae: Theridiidae) in Spain

Abstract

This paper reports the first record of Steatoda trianguloides in Spain, extending its known distribution range. The study is complemented by a map showing the current records of the species. Additionally, an analysis of the dorsal patterns and genitalia of both male and female specimens is provided, including illustrations and photographs.
