Emergence of multiple spontaneous coherent subnetworks from a single configuration of human connectome coupled oscillators model.

Multi-state metastability in neuroimaging signals reflects the brain's flexibility to transition between network configurations in response to changing environments or tasks. We modeled these dynamics with a Kuramoto network of 90 nodes oscillating at an intrinsic frequency of 40 Hz, interconnected using human brain structural connectivity strengths and delays. We simulated this model for 30 min to generate multi-state metastability.

Evaluation of the safety of medication-use systems in hospital emergency services.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess the implementation of safe medication practices in hospital emergency services, in order to understand the points of greatest risk as well as the safety challenges faced by these departments, and to plan collaboratively improvement initiatives.

Method: Multicentric and descriptive study based on completion of the "Medication safety self-assessment of emergency services" from May 16, 2023 to November 16, 2023, at voluntarily participating emergency services. The survey contained 93 items grouped into 10 key elements.

An antimicrobial resistance gene situationer in the backyard swine industry of a Philippine City.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a result of antimicrobial overuse and misuse in agriculture is a growing concern, especially in the predominant but poorly regulated backyard or smallholder swine farms of the Philippines. A city-scale surveillance of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) was conducted through selected backyard swine farms to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the AMR situation in the backyard sector of Davao City, Philippines. The ARGs encoding resistance to four antimicrobial classes (β-lactams: bla, bla, bla, bla, mecA; quinolones: qnrS and qnr-A2; macrolides: ermA and ermB; tetracycline: tetM) were quantified in swine feces via real-time PCR, and point maps were generated to visualize the ARG geographic distribution.
