We report a case of cutaneous melioidosis in a 54-year-old male with a meropenem-resistant sub-population. He was empirically treated with episodic doxycycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; however, the abscess re-accumulated. The patient had no prior exposure to meropenem.

For surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), reproducible solution-phase results are typically obtained using nanoparticles functionalized with surface-stabilizing molecules that can prevent the adsorption of analyte molecules with surface affinities lower than those of the stabilizing agent. Herein, we investigate the effects of intermolecular interactions between a nonthiolated analyte and cosolvent to facilitate and modulate analyte adsorption to gold nanostars. SERS, extinction spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed in this regard.

- A study was conducted on 80 participants with moderate-to-severe depression, who participated in an 8-week trial of heated Bikram yoga to evaluate its effects on their mental health.
- Participants reported immediate improvements in their depressive symptoms after yoga sessions, with most noting overall positive effects throughout the intervention, such as better sleep, mood, and energy levels.
- However, some participants also expressed negative experiences with the classes, including dissatisfaction with instruction, difficulty, and boredom, though the majority reported mixed feelings with both positive and negative effects.
