A draft scheme for classification of pleurisy is described. It includes (1) pleurisy form, (2) qualitative characteristics of pleural exudate, (3) pleurisy topography, (4) etiology, (5) clinical characteristics of the pleurisy process, (6) residual postpleuritic lesions and (7) functional disorders in the lungs and heart. Brief comments on the classification system are presented.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the etiological agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, causing remarkable economic losses in the global swine industry. The diversity of A. pleuropneumoniae is generally determined through serotype identification, which is commonly employed for control strategies and surveillance.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) stands as a paramount global health concern, contributing significantly to worldwide mortality rates. Effective containment of TB requires deployment of cost-efficient screening method with limited resources. To enhance the precision of resource allocation in the global fight against TB, this research proposed chest X-ray radiography (CXR) based machine learning screening algorithms with optimization, benchmarking and tuning for the best TB subclassification tasks for clinical application.

Article Synopsis
- Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae causes porcine pleuropneumonia, a serious lung infection in pigs, and is typically managed using antibiotics like phenicols.
- This study identifies three florfenicol-resistant isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae from Italian pig farms, all harboring the floR gene and showing varying susceptibility levels.
- Whole genome sequencing revealed moderate virulence traits and the presence of a novel plasmid, pAp-floR, which is closely related to another plasmid and shows stability without selective pressure, emphasizing the need to monitor resistance in this bacterium.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) causes significant economic losses to the swine industry. Antibiotic treatment can be challenging due to its clinical urgency and the turnover of antimicrobial susceptibility results from the diagnostic laboratory. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vertical transmission of APP within integrated systems as a criterion for optimising antimicrobial treatment in the field, using whole genome sequencing (WGS).
