Detection of hospital super bacteria MRSA from the hands of healthcare professionals using machine learning and hyperspectral imaging.

Healthcare-associated infections resulting from cross-contamination, particularly from the hands of multidisciplinary staff, significantly impact patient mortality in health units. The prolonged nature of classical phenotypic diagnostic methods underscores the need for faster and more precise alternatives. This study proposes an automatic procedure utilizing hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in shortwave infrared (SWIR) range to detect resistance to oxycillins in hospital bacteria.

Hippocampal CaMKII Regulates the Consolidation of Recognition Memory.

Object recognition memory (ORM) is a hippocampus-dependent form of memory essential for distinguishing items and constructing episodic representations of the past. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase highly enriched in the hippocampal formation, where it acts as a memory-relevant calcium effector. We found that, in rats, training in an ORM inducing learning task rapidly increased CaMKII autophosphorylation in the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus.

Impact of a lambda-cyhalothrin formulation residues on larval Apis mellifera: Examining midgut and fat body morphological response to insecticide chronic exposure.

Pollination by honey bees (Apis mellifera) is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and crop yields. However, the widespread use of pesticides may threaten bees' survival by contaminating their resources. Lambda-cyhalothrin, a neurotoxic insecticide commonly used in agricultural pest control, poses particular risks.

Prevalence and determinants of wasting and overweight in Brazilian children between 6 and 59 months: Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI-2019).

Understanding the determinants of malnutrition is pivotal for public health interventions. This study aimed to identify socio-economic, demographic, dietary and maternal determinants of wasting and overweight among Brazilian children between 6 and 59 months. Data from the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition were analysed ( 11 789).

Peritoneal Tuberculosis and the Associated Diagnostic Challenges in Gynecology: A Case Report.

Peritoneal tuberculosis should be considered in young patients presenting with non-specific abdominal pain, constitutional symptoms and ascites. Here, we describe a case of a 29-year-old woman with pelvic pain, abdominal distension and weight loss. She presented with a distended, painful abdomen, and painful mobilization of the uterus and adnexa.
