Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) is a highly conserved virulence structure that plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of many Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Exotoxin T (ExoT) only T3SS effector protein expressed all T3SS-expressing P. aeruginosa strains. Here we show recognition leads to rapid phosphorylation cascade involving Abl / PKCδ NLRC4, which results NLRC4 inflammasome activation, culminating inflammatory responses limit infection wounds. We...
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of infection in the United States, and due to rapid development resistance, new antibiotics are constantly needed. trans -Translation particularly promising antibiotic target because it conserved many bacterial species, critical for survival, unique among prokaryotes.
Abstract Objectives The emergency medicine (EM) physician workforce is largely composed of white men. Despite recruitment efforts over the past decade, there has not been a significant increase trainees with underrepresented racial and ethnic identities in EM (URM). Prior studies have focused on institutional strategies to improve diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) residency but limited describing URM trainees’ perspectives.

Abstract Esophagopericardial fistulas are an extremely rare structural defect that may arise from malignant or iatrogenic etiologies. This article reports the case of a patient with cardiac tamponade secondary to hydropneumopericardium esophagopericardial fistula. Given high morbidity and mortality this condition, describes challenges in diagnosis clinical decision-making improve early identification interdisciplinary management.
