Perfringolysin O: The Underrated Clostridium perfringens Toxin?

The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens expresses multiple toxins that promote disease development in both humans and animals. One such toxin is perfringolysin O (PFO, classically referred to as θ toxin), a pore-forming cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC). PFO is secreted as a water-soluble monomer that recognizes and binds membranes via cholesterol. Membrane-bound monomers undergo st...

Renal tubular acidosis--underrated problem?

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis characterized by a normal anion gap and normal (or near normal) glomerular filtration rate in the absence of diarrhoea. Inherited isolated forms of renal tubular acidosis are not common. However, they can also be a part of a more generalized tubule defect, like in Fanconi syndrome. In recent years more and more gene mutations h...

Are meteotsunamis an underrated hazard?

Meteotsunamis are generated by meteorological events, particularly moving pressure disturbances due to squalls, thunderstorms, frontal passages and atmospheric gravity waves. Relatively small initial sea-level perturbations, of the order of a few centimetres, can increase significantly through multi-resonant phenomena to create destructive events through the superposition of different factors. ...
