Spontaneous Hemopneumothorax: An Overlooked Life-Threatening Condition

, 2009
Spontaneous hemopneumothorax is a rare clinical entity. A large spontaneous hemopneumothorax is life-threatening, and mortality increases with delayed recognition and intervention.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Bacterial Endophytes from Legumes Native to Arid Environments Are Promising Tools to Improve Mesorhizobium–Chickpea Symbiosis under Salinity

Biology
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a major contributor of N in agricultural ecosystems, but the establishment of legume–rhizobium symbiosis is highly affected by soil salinity.

Spontaneous neurotransmitter release and Ca2+—How spontaneous is spontaneous neurotransmitter release?

Cell Calcium, 2008
Neurotransmitter release from neurons takes place at specialized structures called synapses. Action potential-evoked exocytosis requires Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. Spontaneous vesicle fusion occurs both in the absence of action potentials and without any apparent stimulus and is hence thought to be Ca(2+)-independent. However,

Spontaneous resolution of atrial and ventricular septal defects in Malta [PDF]

, 1998
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the commonest congenital malformation, and ventricular septal defect (VSD) and atrial septal defect (ASD) are the commonest forms of CHD.

Genetic variation in the interleukin-28B gene is associated with spontaneous clearance and progression of hepatitis C virus in Moroccan patients [PDF]

, 2013
Genetic variation in the IL28B gene has been strongly associated with treatment outcomes, spontaneous clearance and progression of the hepatitis C virus infection (HCV).

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Case of benralizumab‐induced exacerbations of chronic spontaneous urticaria

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
The role of IL‐5 in chronic spontaneous urticarial (CSU) is unclear. It may be that benralizumab is an important bidirectional modifier of CSU; that is, blocking IL‐5 may improve CSU in some patients, but it is possible that it may worsen CSU in others.
