Background: Neonatal infections due to Paenibacillus species have increasingly been reported over the last few years.
Methods: We performed a structured literature review of human Paenibacillus infections in pediatric and adult patients to compare the epidemiology of infections between these distinct patient populations.
Results: Forty reports describing 177 infections were included.
Article Synopsis
- * A study in Georgia examined sewage and water samples, identifying mcr-positive Gram-negative bacteria, with mcr-9 found in sewage and mcr-3 in effluent and surface waters.
- * The isolates were multidrug-resistant, with whole genome sequencing revealing additional resistance genes, and indicating that mcr-9 may be circulating in humans, while also posing environmental risks.
The n-back task has been widely used to study working memory. Previous studies investigating the electrophysiological (electroencephalogram [EEG]) and hemodynamic correlates (functional near-infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS]) of the n-back task have been generally based on verbal stimuli and only investigated EEG frequency bands. We simultaneously acquired the EEG and fNIRS in 35 participants (16 males; age = 26.

The lack of diagnostic technology has been identified as the largest gap in the global health care pathway, and the cost of this technology is a driving factor for its lack of proliferation. Technology developed in high-income countries is often focused on producing high-quality, patient-specific data at a cost high-income markets can pay.
