Slow Death and Key Workers: The Ordinary Crisis of Waste Work During the COVID‐19 Pandemic
Short Abstract This article examines the experiences of waste workers in Glasgow during the COVID‐19 pandemic to show how the everyday operations of the UK waste industry push bodies and infrastructures towards collapse. Drawing on interviews with waste workers, and Lauren Berlant's concepts of ‘slow death’ and the ‘crisis ordinary’, it argues that ...

Orientation of cholera toxin bound to model membranes
The orientation of cholera toxin bound to its cell-surface receptor, ganglioside GM1, in a supporting lipid membrane was determined by electron microscopy of negatively stained toxin-lipid samples. Image analysis of two dimensional crystalline arrays has

Cholera Toxin Production and Localization in Vesicles of Vibrio cholerae El Tor Genovariants
The aim was to assess the level of toxin production in Vibrio cholerae El Tor genovariants and to determine the localization of cholera toxin in vesicles.Materials and methods. The work is performed on typical strains and genovariants of V.

The evidence for old age motor neuron death: A scoping review
We systematically evaluated the extant literature on age‐related motor neuron (MN) death in aging, focusing on studies directly assessing MNs. We show that in the spinal cord and brainstem, there is robust evidence for MN loss, particularly in the human spinal cord. In rats, MN loss was readily observed across a variety of labelling methods and regions,

Cholera : diagnosis and treatment in Haiti [PDF]
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O-group 1 or O-group 139. Many other serogroups of Vibrio cholerae, with or without the cholera toxin gene, can cause a cholera-like illness.

In IPC-81 cells, the adenylyl-cyclase activation by cholera toxin produces an elevation of cAMP that causes a rapid cytolysis. A resistant clone with deficient cholera toxin-induced cyclase activity (yet sensitive to cAMP) showed a rapid decrease in the ...

Glyconanoparticles for the colorimetric detection of cholera toxin
Cholera continues to represent a major threat to human health, particularly in developing countries. Death can be readily avoided when medical treatment is rapidly administered.

Structural biology of Vibrio cholerae pathogenicity factors
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that 30,000 children under the age of five die each day worldwide. Around a quarter of these die from diarrheal disease caused by microbial infection.
