Host pathogen interactions: determining the role of the Coxiella burnetii virulence protein CinF in host autophagy induction
Bioinformatics searches indicated with high degrees of confidence that CinF, a Coxiella burnetii virulence protein, is a fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP1) enzyme most closely related to the archaeal species, Thermoproteus neutrophilus. However, in this study, I observed a lack of FBP1 enzymatic activity for CinF from C. burnetii in two biochemical assays. I hypothesized that C. burnetii utilizes the bacterial effector protein, CinF, to induce autophagy in the host cell and to recruit and promote fusion with autophagic vesicles to gain the nutrients and components necessary for its proliferation and for expansion of the Coxiella containing vacuole (CCV). Results obtained in this study indicate that despite the lack of metabolic activity expected from bioinformatics, the presence of CinF in HeLa cell culture increased autophagic flux, thus increasing the amount of microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3) detected in cells transfected with cinF when compared to mock transfected cells and cells expressing a catalytic mutant

Bilateral Achilles tendinopathy: case report
Background and Purpose: Achilles tendinopathy is a pathology that is very common for runners. While this patient did have tendinopathy symptoms, some of the test results did not add up regarding how the tendon was loaded and his symptom provocation. With this, it was also discovered there were nerve-based symptoms present as well. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the investigation of his symptoms with testing, and the treatment for this atypical Achilles tendinopathy case.
Case Description: The patient reported with chronic Achilles pain after running for 2 miles, onset one year prior to the evaluation. Clinically, he presented with bilateral plantarflexor weakness, pain limiting function and participation in running, and neural tension in the tibial nerve pattern. The majority of his treatments consisted of manual therapy, progressive bilateral tendon loading exercises, and nerve glides.
Outcomes: Throughout the patient’s plan of care, his straight leg raise response had improved on both limbs (and finally became negative on the right halfway through the course of care). The patient demonstrated an increase in strength and tolerance to plyometric activity, and was even able to return back to running by the time his plan of care ended.
Discussion: When performing an evaluation and examination, be mindful of how a pathology would typically present itself. If it present atypically, utilize other tests and measures to address the sources of the patient’s symptoms and to provide interventions that will address their impairments
