Manifestations of cruel, inhuman types of behavior and torture of Ukrainian military who died in captivity.

The given information and forensic medical characteristics of injuries found on the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers who were in Russian captivity and died as a result of cruel, inhuman treatment and torture in 2022-2023. According to their nature and morphological features, the damage could be the result of high temperature action using hot metal objects, but more likely, the result of the use of electric current conductors (bare end of the wire). In other cases, after the exhumation of the occupied territory of the Kharkiv region, the manifestations of torture were brain injuries and fractures of the bones of the body caused by blunt hard objects with a limited surface.

Arsenic exposure and intestinal microbiota in children from Sirajdikhan, Bangladesh.

Background: Arsenic has antimicrobial properties at high doses yet few studies have examined its effect on gut microbiota. This warrants investigation since arsenic exposure increases the risk of many diseases in which gut microbiota have been shown to play a role. We examined the association between arsenic exposure from drinking water and the composition of intestinal microbiota in children exposed to low and high arsenic levels during prenatal development and early life.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Proteome Response to Antituberculosis Compounds Reveals Metabolic "Escape" Pathways That Prolong Bacterial Survival.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be one of the most common bacterial infectious diseases and is the leading cause of death in many parts of the world. A major limitation of TB therapy is slow killing of the infecting organism, increasing the risk for the development of a tolerance phenotype and drug resistance. Studies indicate that takes several days to be killed upon treatment with lethal concentrations of antibiotics both and To investigate how metabolic remodeling can enable transient bacterial survival during exposure to bactericidal concentrations of compounds, strain H37Rv was exposed to twice the MIC of isoniazid, rifampin, moxifloxacin, mefloquine, or bedaquiline for 24 h, 48 h, 4 days, and 6 days, and the bacterial proteomic response was analyzed using quantitative shotgun mass spectrometry.
