Journal ArticleDOI

Pseudomonas aeruginosa β-carbonic anhydrase, psCA1, is required for calcium deposition and contributes to virulence.

TL;DR: It is shown that the β-CA psCA1 in P. aeruginosa contributes to virulence likely by enabling calcium salt deposition, which can be partially controlled by inhibiting its catalytic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thoracoscopic evaluation and treatment of pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: Only surgeons with the VATS skills that allow them to perform complex procedures should perform the procedure, and the completeness of the cancer surgery should not be compromised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping Selective Inhibition of the Cancer-Related Carbonic Anhydrase IX Using Structure-Activity Relationships of Glucosyl-Based Sulfamates.

TL;DR: Five X-ray crystal structures are presented, determined to a resolution of 1.7 Å or better, of both hCA II (a ubiquitous CA) and an engineered hCA IX-mimic in complex with selected glucosyl sulfamates and structurally rationalize mechanisms for hCA VIII selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structure of Carbonic Anhydrase II in Complex with an Activating Ligand: Implications in Neuronal Function

TL;DR: The 1.6 Å resolution structure of an imidazole-based CA activator in complex with the ubiquitously-expressed human CA II is reported and a proposed mechanism of CA activation by the compound and its potential applications in the neurobiology of aging are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant monotypic epithelioid angiomyolipoma of the retroperitoneum.

TL;DR: This case represents the first description of metastatic disease occurring in an EAML of this particular site, composed exclusively of atypical epithelioid cells, which metastasized to the liver and the mediastinum.
