Age effects on strategies used to avoid obstacles
Chen et al.’ found that the rates of success which 24 healthy younger and 24 healthy older adults achieved in not stepping on fixed and suddenly appearing virtual obstacles was adversely affected by reducing their available response time. This paper reports the gait strategies used by those 48 subjects in avoiding the obstacles and the factors associated with falls by four of the subjects. Diff...
متن کاملShiga Toxin Binding to Glycolipids and Glycans
BACKGROUND Immunologically distinct forms of Shiga toxin (Stx1 and Stx2) display different potencies and disease outcomes, likely due to differences in host cell binding. The glycolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) has been reported to be the receptor for both toxins. While there is considerable data to suggest that Gb3 can bind Stx1, binding of Stx2 to Gb3 is variable. METHODOLOGY We used iso...

متن کاملShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. Outbreaks are linked to bovine food sources. STEC O157:H7 has been responsible for the most severe outbreaks worldwide. However, non-O157 serotypes have emerged as important enteric pathogens in several countries. The main virulence factor of STEC is the production of Shig...
