Shifting of Distribution and Changing of Antibiotic Resistance in Gram-Positive Bacteria from Bile of Patients with Acute Cholangitis by Hao Y, Li L, Du W, Lu J

“…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. …”

Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic: Simulation of the Tuberculosis Epidemic as a Function of Population Coverage with Screening by A. A. Starshinova, I. F. Dovgalyuk, N. N. Osipov, D. A. Kudlay

“…The adjusted coefficient of determination of the model (adjusted R-squared) was 0.9969, which meant that the model contained almost no random components. It showed that tuberculosis cases missed due to low population coverage with preventive screening lead to future spread of tuberculous infection and a significant increase in the number of new tuberculosis cases. …”

Revolutionizing brain‒computer interfaces: overcoming biocompatibility challenges in implantable neural interfaces by Weihang Gao, Zineng Yan, Hong Zhou, Yi Xie, Honglin Wang, Jiaming Yang, Jingbo Yu, Changmao Ni, Pengran Liu, Mao Xie, Li Huang, Zhewei Ye

“…Despite significant advancements over the years, conventional neural electrode interfaces remain insufficient for fully achieving these objectives, particularly in the context of long-term implantation. The primary limitation stems from the poor biocompatibility and mechanical mismatch between the interfacing electrodes and neural tissues, which induce a local immune response and scar tissue formation, thus decreasing the performance and useful lifespan. …”
