Article Abstract
Rapid identification of effective antibiotic treatment is crucial for increasing patient survival and preventing the formation of new antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to preventative antibiotic use. Currently utilized "gold standard" methods require 16-24 h to determine the most appropriate antibiotic for the patient's treatment. The proposed technique of laser speckle imaging with subpixel correlation analysis allows for identifying dynamics and changes in the zone of inhibition, which are impossible to observe with classical methods. Furthermore, it obtains the resulting zone of inhibition diameter earlier than the disk diffusion method which is recommended by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). These results could improve mathematical models of changes in the diameter of the zone of inhibition around the disc containing the antimicrobial agent, thereby speeding up and facilitating epidemiological analysis.

The paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) integrates subcortical signals related to arousal, stress, addiction, and anxiety with top-down cortical influences. Increases or decreases in PVT activity exert profound, long-lasting effects on behavior related to motivation, addiction and homeostasis. Yet the sources of its subcortical excitatory and inhibitory afferents, their distribution within the PVT, and their integration with layer-specific cortical inputs remain unclear.

Background And Aims: Viral myocarditis is an inflammatory pathology of the myocardium that involves innate immune responses, especially those involving neutrophils. However, strategies targeting neutrophils to alleviate inflammation have not achieved complete success. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), a natural organosulfur compound, has the capacity to modulate immune cell behavior.
