Comment on "Sterilizing immunity in the lung relies on targeting fungal apoptosis-like programmed cell death"
Shlezinger et al. (Reports, 8 September 2017, p. 1037) report that the common fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, a cause of aspergillosis, undergoes caspase-dependent apoptosis-like cell death triggered by lung neutrophils. However, the technologies they used do not provide reliable evidence that fungal cells die via a protease signaling cascade thwarted by a fungal caspase inhibitor homologous to human survivin.

What Causes Hyponatremia?
Discussion
Normal kidneys regulate water balance to maintain a plasma osmolality of 275-290 mOsm/kg normally. Thirst and arginine vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are the primary regulators of plasma osmolality. ADH is made in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. ADH acts on the kidney’s distal collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. ADH is appropriately released in hypovolemic states, such as dehydration caused by gastroenteritis. ADH has an ~10 minute half-life and therefore can respond to rapid changes in volume status. Sodium balance is regulated by aldosterone (as part...

8th Advances Against Aspergillosis, Lisbon, Portugal
8th Advances Against Aspergillosis took place 1-3rd February 2018 in the pleasant sunshine of Lisbon, Portugal, leaving the snow of Manchester 2016 far behind. This is the only conference focussing on this fungal disease and has been running since 2004, attracting 400 researchers from all over the world and since 2012 has also been holding a parallel meeting for patients with aspergillosis and their carers.Post date: 7 Mar 2018 - 3:16pm (Source: The Aspergillus Website - updates)
