An Extracellular Redox Signal Triggers Calcium Release and Impacts the Asexual Development of Toxoplasma gondii

The ability of an organism to sense and respond to environmental redox fluctuations relies on a signaling network that is incompletely understood in apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii.The impact of changes in redox upon the development of this intracellular parasite is not known.Here, we provide a revised collection of 58 genes contai

Combined etiology of anaphylactic cardiogenic shock: Amiodarone, epinephrine, cardioverter defibrillator, left ventricular assist devices and the Kounis syndrome

Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening condition which needs detailed and mediculous clinical assessment and thoughtful treatment.Several causes can join forces in order to degranulate mast cells.Amiodarone which is an iodine-containing highly lipophilic benzofuran can induce allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock in sensitized patients.Epinep
