For the first time the experimental and field studies of Leptospira infections, carried out over the period of 6 years, have revealed that the habitat of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius Pallas 1778) serving as a host for Leptospira pomona, serovar mozdok, is much wider than the habitat of the infective agent proper. The presence of an animal species highly sensitive to a definite leptospiral serovar and serving as its reservoir at a given locality cannot be regarded as a proof of the presence of the epizootic process without bacteriological confirmation. But, in the absence of homologous Leptospira carriage, intensive leptospiral seroconversion can be attributed to a population other than that of the host.

The contribution of motor identity prediction to temporal binding.
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform
January 2025
Institute of Psychology, UMIT TIROL-Private University for Health Sciences and Health Technology.
Temporal binding describes an illusory compression of time between voluntary actions and their effects. In two experiments, using stable, preexisting action-effect associations, we investigated whether motor identity prediction (prediction of the effect's identity) enhances temporal binding. Touch-typists performed keystrokes and were presented with congruent (corresponding letter) or incongruent (noncorresponding letter) effects after different intervals.

Background: Domain adaptation (DA) techniques have emerged as a pivotal strategy in addressing the challenges of cross-subject classification. However, traditional DA methods are inherently limited by the assumption of a homogeneous space, requiring that the source and target domains share identical feature dimensions and label sets, which is often impractical in real-world applications. Therefore, effectively addressing the challenge of EEG classification under heterogeneous spaces has emerged as a crucial research topic.

Article Synopsis
- - The research focuses on the antibiotic resistome, which is the collection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater treatment, particularly examining changes during the shift from full to shortcut nitrification-denitrification processes.
- - A total of 269 gene subtypes were identified, with 108 consistently found across all samples, revealing that mixed antibiotics significantly increased both corresponding and non-corresponding ARGs, along with mobile genetic elements.
- - Key environmental factors, such as dissolved oxygen and nitrite levels, were found to influence the variation in the antibiotic resistome, with 34 bacterial genera identified as potential ARG hosts, highlighting the importance of managing these variables to control antibiotic resistance.
Stepwise Corrected Attention Registration Network for Preoperative and Follow-Up Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Glioma Patients.

School of Biomedical Engineering, Air Force Medical University, No. 169 Changle West Road, Xi'an 710032, China.
The registration of preoperative and follow-up brain MRI, which is crucial in illustrating patients' responses to treatments and providing guidance for postoperative therapy, presents significant challenges. These challenges stem from the considerable deformation of brain tissue and the areas of non-correspondence due to surgical intervention and postoperative changes. We propose a stepwise corrected attention registration network grounded in convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Fiom, 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.
Purpose: Annually, approximately 31,000 people experience a termination of pregnancy (TOP) in the Netherlands. In 2021, about one-third of them chose medical termination of pregnancy (MTOP). We explored experiences with MTOP and to what extent expectations, pain, and counselling in the clinic are associated with satisfaction with MTOP.
