Primary Actinomyces in Hand: An Unusual Cause of Osteomyelitis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, and slow‐progressing bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces species. The condition's rarity, nonspecific clinical symptoms, and occasional occurrence in atypical locations often lead to delays in diagnosis, which are critical for initiating timely treatment and preventing further complications.

Acute Myocarditis and Inflammatory Cardiomyopathies: Insights From Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Findings

Echocardiography, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2025.
The pathogenesis and progression of myocardial inflammation involve a multiphase process driven by genetic, epigenetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors. Inflammation establishes a self‐perpetuating “vicious cycle”, causing progressive myocardial damage.

Transport powered by bacterial turbulence [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 158101 (2014), 2014
We demonstrate that collective turbulent-like motion in a bacterial bath can power and steer directed transport of mesoscopic carriers through the suspension. In our experiments and simulations, a microwedge-like "bulldozer" draws energy from a bacterial bath of varied density. We obtain that a maximal transport speed is achieved in the turbulent state
