Autolysin as a fibronectin receptor on the cell surface of Clostridium perfringens
CONCLUSIONS: We found that the Acp has a Fn-binding protein that acts as an Fn receptor on the surface of C. perfringens cells.PMID:37544355 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102769 (Source: Anaerobe)

Skeletal muscle fiber hypercontraction induced by Bothrops asper myotoxic phospholipases A < sub > 2 < /sub > ex vivo does not involve a direct action on the contractile apparatus
Pflugers Arch. 2023 Jul 20. doi: 10.1007/s00424-023-02840-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMyonecrosis is a frequent clinical manifestation of envenomings by Viperidae snakes, mainly caused by the toxic actions of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzymes and sPLA2-like homologs on skeletal muscle fibers. A hallmark of the necrotic process induced by these myotoxins is the rapid appearance of hypercontracted muscle fibers, attributed to the massive influx of Ca2+ resulting from cell membrane damage. However, the possibility of myotoxins having, in addition, a direct effect on the contractile machinery of skeletal muscle fi...

Recurrent idiopathic pancreatitis complicating as emphysematous pancreatitis and gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm: A rare case report
Vinus Taneja, Darshit Shah, Rishikesh Dessai, Manuj Sondhi, Manishi Nautiyal, Ambuj GargAnnals of African Medicine 2023 22(3):385-387 Emphysematous pancreatitis (EP) is a rare and potentially fatal condition of the pancreas. It is associated with gas-forming bacteria and is characterized by the presence of gas in or around the pancreas. It is identified by a computed tomography scan of the abdomen. Although predisposing factors are not precisely known, diabetes mellitus, which predisposes to gas gangrene, is seen to be commonly associated with patients of EP. EP being potentially fatal requires immediate management. Surge...
