“…Yuqi Hao,1 Lianxin Li,2 Wenting Du,1 Jinshuai Lu1 1Department of General Internal Medicine, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China; 2Endoscopy Center, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Jinshuai Lu, Department of General Internal Medicine, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China, Email lujinshuai@xjrmyy.comBackground: Gram-negative bacteria are the predominant pathogens responsible for biliary infections; however, the prevalence of Gram-positive bacteria is currently increasing. Investigating the bacterial spectrum and evolving antibiotic resistance patterns of Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for optimizing the management of acute cholangitis, particularly in the context of the global rise in antibiotic resistance.Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on Gram-positive bacteria isolated from the bile of patients undergoing biliary drainage with acute cholangitis at our hospital from January 1, 2018, to March 31, 2024. …”

The Discursive Strategies in the Spoken Narratives of Multilingual Sepitori and Sesotho Speakers by Ramona Kunene Nicolas, Nonhlanhla Ntuli

“…Sesotho speakers produced a more sequential oral narrative in line with story schema with fewer interjections to the researcher. In an increasingly linguistically heterogeneous South Africa, more research is required to gain insights into how multilingual individuals develop and refine their narrative skills, emphasising the much-needed focus on NSLV from a psycholinguistic perspective, which may ultimately inform tools of assessment for multilingual children and adults in social, clinical and academic contexts.…”
