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.

Staphylococcus epidermidis: Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Biofilm‐Forming Isolates From Pediatric Bacteremia in Pakistan

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Staphylococcus epidermidis is an important cause of nosocomial infections in children. The study undertaken identified antibiotic resistance markers among biofilm‐forming S. epidermidis. Methods: A total of 105 bacteremia‐positive samples from hospitalized children were processed for identification of S.

Imaging the emergence of bacterial turbulence: phase diagram and transition kinetics [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We experimentally study the emergence of collective bacterial swimming, a phenomenon often referred to as bacterial turbulence. A phase diagram of the flow of 3D E. coli suspensions spanned by bacterial concentration, the swimming speed of bacteria and the number fraction of active swimmers is systematically mapped, which shows quantitative agreement ...

Streptokinase‐Induced Serum Sickness: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Serum sickness is rare; however, there is a significant hypersensitivity reaction to streptokinase used in different cardiac problems. Treatment often involves discontinuing the offending agent and administering corticosteroids. This case underscores the complexities of managing prosthetic valve thrombosis and highlights the importance of ...

Multimodality Imaging Supports Cardiac Lesion Diagnosis in Patient With Liver Carcinoma: A Case Report

Cancer Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Introduction Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare cardiac manifestation in patients with advanced malignancies of the lungs, pancreas, gynecological system, and gastrointestinal tract. It is often confirmed postmortem by histopathological evidence of sterile platelet‐fibrin deposits attached to the endocardium, most often on ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis: The Mechanism of Pathogenicity, Immune Responses, and Diagnostic Challenges

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 38, Issue 23, December 2024.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis acts as the causative agent of human tuberculosis and is regarded as one of the most adaptable human pathogens. M. tuberculosis possesses several virulence factors that help the bacterium evade mucous barriers. The infection caused by M.

Rheology of bacterial suspensions under confinement [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
As a paradigmatic model of active fluids, bacterial suspensions show intriguing rheological responses drastically different from their counterpart colloidal suspensions. Although the flow of bulk bacterial suspensions has been extensively studied, the rheology of bacterial suspensions under confinement has not been experimentally explored.
