Deep Pneumonia: Attention-Based Contrastive Learning for Class-Imbalanced Pneumonia Lesion Recognition in Chest X-rays [PDF]
Computer-aided X-ray pneumonia lesion recognition is important for accurate diagnosis of pneumonia. With the emergence of deep learning, the identification accuracy of pneumonia has been greatly improved, but there are still some challenges due to the fuzzy appearance of chest X-rays.

This study developes a universal colorimetric ICA platform that integrates broad‐spectrum recognition by 4‐mercaptophenylboronic acid with dual signal enhancement—both colorimetric and catalytic—mediated by a biomimetic magnetic nanozyme. This platform, for the first time, enables simple, convenient, ultrasensitive, and simultaneous screening of ...

Congenital pneumonia due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. [PDF]
A case of probable vertical transmission of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is presented. The presence of M pneumoniae was demonstrated by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the nasopharyngeal aspirate of a newborn who developed pneumonia shortly after birth.

Prediction of Pneumonia and COVID-19 Using Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
Pneumonia, caused by bacteria and viruses, is a rapidly spreading viral infection with global implications. Prompt identification of infected individuals is crucial for containing its transmission. This study explores the potential of medical image analysis to address this challenge.

More Mouldy Data: Another mycoplasma gene jumps the silicon barrier into the human genome [PDF]
The human genome sequence database contains DNA sequences very like those of mycoplasma molds. It appears such moulds infect not only molecular Biology laboratories but were picked up by experimenters from contaminated samples and inserted into GenBank as if they were human.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Essential plasticity and redundancy of metabolism unveiled by synthetic lethality analysis [PDF]
We unravel how functional plasticity and redundancy are essential mechanisms underlying the ability to survive of metabolic networks. We perform an exhaustive computational screening of synthetic lethal reaction pairs in Escherichia coli in a minimal medium and we find that synthetic lethal pairs divide in two different groups depending on whether the ...

An in vitro study of the replication, morphology and DNA base composition of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae can almost invariably be isolated from the lungs of sheep with chronic pneumonia, which is a prevalent disease in New Zealand hoggets.

Coinfection by Ureaplasma spp., Photobacterium damselae and an Actinomyces-like microorganism in a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with pleuropneumonia stranded along the Adriatic coast of Italy [PDF]
A case of pleuropneumonia is reported in an adult male bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) found stranded in 2014 along the Central Adriatic coast of Italy.
