Conflicting Clinical Presentation of Infection with Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in a 5-Month-Old Infant

Journal of Pediatrics: Clinical Practice
We present a 5-month-old infant with a 1-day history of poor feeding and sudden progression into generalized weakness including septic shock syndrome after consumption of homemade food. Botulism and sepsis symptoms could be explained by the presence of a

Neurotoxinas de invertebrados como alternativas terapéuticas y herramientas en investigación básica Neurotoxins from invertebrates as alternative therapeutic agents and tools in basic research

Vitae, 2009
Los venenos que producen los animales son una mezcla compleja de proteínas, péptidos, enzimas y trazas de elementos no proteicos tales como carbohidratos y sales, cuya finalidad es inmovilizar la presa y comenzar a digerirla.

Peptide Toxins in Solitary Wasp Venoms

Toxins, 2016
Solitary wasps paralyze insects or spiders with stinging venom and feed the paralyzed preys to their larva. Accordingly, the venoms should contain a variety of constituents acting on nervous systems.

Selective inhibition of meningeal nociceptors by botulinum neurotoxin type A: Therapeutic implications for migraine and other pains

Cephalalgia, 2014
Background Meningeal and other trigeminal nociceptors are thought to play important roles in the initiation of migraine headache. Currently, the only approved peripherally administered chronic migraine prophylactic drug is onabotulinumtoxinA. The purpose

A Facile Strategy to Restore the Optic Nerve Functionality Using an Injectable Conducting Hydrogel

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable conductive polymer hydrogel from poly (3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is developed to facilitate the recovery of electrophysiological function in injured optic nerve. The hydrogel can be injected directly at the injury site and spontaneously gel in place.

How to Overcome a Snail? Identification of Putative Neurotoxins of Snail-Feeding Firefly Larvae (Coleoptera: Lampyridae, Lampyris noctiluca)

Toxins
The larvae of some lampyrid beetles are highly specialized predators of snails. They have been observed to climb on the shells of their prey and use this exposed position to bite and inject secretions potentially originating from the midgut.

Cyanobacterial Neurotoxin β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) in Shark Fins

Marine Drugs, 2012
Sharks are among the most threatened groups of marine species. Populations are declining globally to support the growing demand for shark fin soup. Sharks are known to bioaccumulate toxins that may pose health risks to consumers of shark products.

Host Plasma Microenvironment in Immunometabolically Impaired HIV Infection Leads to Dysregulated Monocyte Function and Synaptic Transmission Ex Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Network‐based risk stratification of people living with HIV (PWH) on prolonged therapy using multi‐omics data identifies 44% of the patients are at risk of immunometabolic complications. A senescence‐associated myeloid cell‐driven plasma microenvironment drives immunometabolic dysregulation in at‐risk PWH.

Long-Term Adherence to Onabotulinum Toxin-A Intradetrusor Injections for Neurogenic Dysfunction in Children—A Retrospective Single-Center Evaluation

Toxins
Onabotulinum Toxin-A (BTX-A) is a second-line treatment for neurogenic bladder (NB). It requires repeated injections over time, which is a possible limit for long-term adherence, especially in children, as general anesthesia is required.

Molecular characterization of a novel botulinum neurotoxin type H gene.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
We sequenced the 2 botulinum toxin gene clusters of Clostridium botulinum strain IBCA10-7060 type Bh. The sequence of bont/H differed substantially from the sequences of the 7 known bont genes for toxin types A-G. The 5' one-third terminus of bont/H that
