Novobiocin primarily targets ParE in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a pathogenic bacterium that poses a public health concern. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the mode of action of the conventional antibiotic novobiocin, which has been selected as a leading compound for novel antigonococcal drugs. Unlike other previously studied bacteria strains, novobiocin-resistant N.

Uninephrectomy and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor administration delay the onset of hyperglycemia.

The kidneys are essential for glucose homeostasis, as they perform gluconeogenesis, utilize glucose, and reabsorb glucose. Reabsorption is performed by SGLT2, which is responsible for about 90%. However, little is known about how renal glucose handling is altered in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Thiazoplanomicin, a new thiazolyl peptide antibiotic from the leaf-litter actinomycete Actinoplanes sp. MM794L-181F6.

A new bioactive substance was identified from a leaf-litter actinomycete strain by screening for antibacterial activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The thiazolyl peptide antibiotic, named thiazoplanomicin, was isolated from the secondary metabolites of the leaf-litter actinomycetes Actinoplanes sp. MM794L-181F6 by extraction with n-butanol, silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and preparative HPLC.

Takotsubo syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock due to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, acute mitral regurgitation, and atrial fibrillation: a case report.

Background: Although Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is generally considered a benign disease, recent reports showed the incidence of cardiogenic shock due to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), mitral regurgitation (MR), and primary pump failure was estimated to be 6-20%.

Case Summary: A 78-year-old woman presented with chest pain and cold sweats 2 days after surgery for lung cancer. Acute coronary syndrome was suspected based on her symptoms, electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and laboratory data; thus, emergency catheterization was performed.
