Botulism outbreak in a rural Ethiopia: a case series

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Foodborne botulism, a toxin-mediated illness caused by Clostridium botulinum, is a public health emergency. Types A, B, and E C. botulinum toxins commonly cause human disease.

BOTOX injection to treat strabismus after infant botulism type B infection

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2020
Purpose: The significance of botulinum toxin to ophthalmologists is twofold. Botulism, a medical emergency, frequently presents with ocular findings including blurred vision, diplopia, ptosis, and photophobia as a result of the neurotoxin produced by ...

Harvested Forages for Horses From a Feeding Perspective—A Systematic Literature Review

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the important role of forages in equine diets, the aim of this project was to perform a systematic literature review of the area with relevance for Northern Europe. The objectives were to identify the currently available published peer‐reviewed literature on forages for horses from an equine feeding perspective and to summarize it to ...

Cryo‐EM Structure Guided Engineering of Botulinum Neurotoxin A With Advanced Receptor Binding Affinity and Therapeutical Benefits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

Case Report: Recurrent Guillain–Barré Syndrome in a 56‐Year‐Old Male

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recurrent Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an uncommon variant of immune‐mediated polyradiculoneuropathy. We report a 56‐year‐old male who had two distinct episodes of acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy within the span of 3 months. The first episode presented with an episode of ascending paralysis and areflexia, with nerve conduction ...

Toosendanin Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Inhibiting Neural Ferroptosis Through Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming in MCAO Mice

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Post‐stroke administration of TSN significantly reduced infarct volume, neuroinflammation, and improved functional recovery of MCAO mice. TSN alleviated neural oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and ferroptosis in MCAO mice. TSN modulated the infiltration of immune cells in MCAO mice in vivo and T cell differentiation in vitro.

Adverse Drug Reaction Study of Botulinum Toxin‐A in the Real World

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Despite the increasing use of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT‐A) in aesthetic and therapeutic applications, its real‐world adverse drug reaction (ADR) profile remains incompletely characterized. Current evidence relies largely on small‐scale clinical observations rather than large, systematic analyses.

Asymmetric Type F Botulism with Cranial Nerve Demyelination

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
We report a case of type F botulism in a patient with bilateral but asymmetric neurologic deficits. Cranial nerve demyelination was found during autopsy. Bilateral, asymmetric clinical signs, although rare, do not rule out botulism.

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...
