The paper presents the results of the development and testing of a molecular biological test system for DNA detection of anthrax pathogen (Bacillus anthracis) by real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. The test system has shown high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of results of analysis, as exemplified by aqueous suspensions of daily agar cultures of Bacillus anthracis strains, related and heterologous species of microorganisms, and clinical materials of experimental animals. There is evidence for the persistence of the basic characteristics of the test system when stored at 22 +/- 2 degrees C for 12 months.

Background: The association of different sensory inputs enhances brain plasticity in patients after stroke, but no studies have associated Action Observation Training (AOT) delivered in immersive virtual reality (VR) with Focal Vibration (FV) to elicit a kinesthetic illusion coherent with the observed task to improve motor function.
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of AOT delivered in immersive VR integrated with FV of upper limb muscles on manual dexterity in patients with chronic stroke.
Methods: A single-subject study was conducted (A-B design).

Advances in electronics and materials science have led to the development of sophisticated components for clinical and research neurotechnology systems. However, instrumentation to easily evaluate how these components function in a complete system does not yet exist. In this work, we set out to design and validate a software-defined mixed-signal routing fabric, 'xDev', that enables neurotechnology system designers to rapidly iterate, evaluate, and deploy advanced multi-component systems.

Resilience is a key feature of ecosystem dynamics reflecting a system's ability to resist and recover from environmental perturbations. Slowing down in the rate of recovery has been used as an early-warning signal for abrupt transitions. Recent advances in Earth observation (EO) vegetation data provide the capability to capture broad-scale resilience patterns and identify regions experiencing resilience loss.

The broth microdilution (BMD) test recommended for detecting colistin sensitivity is labor-intensive and difficult to perform under routine conditions. There is a need for alternative methods that produce fast and reliable results in routine laboratory studies.

Methods: In total, 3,455 strains of Enterococcus, isolated from January 2010 through December 2021, were col-lected. Bruker MALDI biotyper, MICROSCAN walkaway 40 analysis system, and Vitek-2 compact automatic drug sensitivity identification analyzer were used to identify the strains and to test drug sensitivity, and then the results were analyzed.
