Mary Toft

Mary Toftin muotokuva. (John Laguerre, 1726)

Mary Toft (o.s. Denyer, joskus Tofts) (s. 1701–1763), oli englantilainen nainen, joka tuli kuuluisaksi vuonna 1726 kun hän sai useat lääkärit vakuutettua siitä, että hän oli synnyttänyt kaniineja. Huiputettujen lääkärien joukossa oli muun muassa kuningas Yrjö I:n hovilääkäri Nathaniel St André.[1]

Vuonna 1726 Mary Toft tuli raskaaksi, mutta hän menetti lapsensa. Hän oli sitä ennen nähnyt peltotöitä tehdessään kaniinin, ja kehittänyt pakkomielteen kaniineja kohtaan. Hänen väitteensä kaniinin synnyttämisestä toi paikalle paikallisen lääkärin John Howardin, ja Toft synnytti hänen läsnä ollessaan eläimen osia. Howardin tutkittua tapauksen tieto levisi laajemmalle julkisuuteen ja lääkärikuntaan ja hovilääkäri Nathaniel St Andrén tietoisuuteen. St André piti tapausta aitona, mutta kuninkaan lähettämä toinen lääkäri Cyriacus Ahlers oli skeptinen. Kun kuuluisuudeksi noussut Toft tutkittiin lopulta tarkemmin Lontoossa, tapaus paljastui huijaukseksi ja Toft vangittiin.[1]

Tapausta seurannut kielteinen julkisuus sai aikaan kuohuntaa lääketieteen harjoittajien keskuudessa ja tuhosi useiden menestyneiden lääkärien maineen ja urat. Satiirikko ja yhteiskuntakriitikko William Hogarth oli yksi henkilöistä, joka käsitteli tapausta julkisuudessa ja joka oli huolissaan lääkäreiden herkkäuskoisuudesta. Toft vapautettiin ja hän palasi kotiinsa.

Flippase

Category of enzyme Structure of a flippase, showing the two major subunits of the enzyme. Flippases are transmembrane lipid transporter proteins located in the cell membrane. They are responsible for aiding the movement of phospholipid molecules between the two layers, or leaflets, that compose the membrane (transverse diffusion, also known as a flip-flop transition). Flippases move lipids to the cytosolic layer, usually from the extracellular layer. Floppases do the opposite, moving lipids t...
