Subthreshold depression is associated with altered facial expression and impression formation via subjective ratings and action unit analysis by Eriko Sugimori, Mayu Yamaguchi

“…Automated analysis with OpenFace 2.0 showed higher presence/intensity of AU01 (Inner Brow Raiser), AU05 (Upper Lid Raiser), AU20 (Lip Stretcher), AU25/26/28 (mouth‑opening AUs) in StD faces; five of these AUs correlated with BDI‑II after false‑discovery‑rate correction (q < 0.05). Subthreshold depression was associated with muted positive expressivity and distinct eye‑ and mouth‑movement patterns, but did not bias observers’ first‑impression judgements. …”

The evaluation of antimicrobial resistance rates in infections caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains collected from the south of Lebanon by Sajida Chreim, Seyed Masoud Hosseini, Abdallah Medlej, Mahdi Tarhini

“…The analysis of resistance genes showed the presence of blaSHV (7.96%), qnrA (0.96%), tetA (20.19%), and dfrA1 (0.96%) genes, while the aac3, blaOXA, and blaIMP genes were not detected. Conclusion: The high rates of antibiotic resistance observed, particularly to ampicillin and tetracycline, highlight the need for more judicious antibiotic use and the development of alternative treatment strategies to combat UPEC infections. …”

Impact of Generation Rate of Speech Imagery on Neural Activity and BCI Decoding Performance: A fNIRS Study by Zengzhi Guo, Lisheng Xu, Wenjun Tan, Fei Chen

“…This study demonstrates that the neural activity level of most speech-related brain regions during speech imagery enhanced as the generation rate increased. Therefore, accelerating the generation rate of speech imagery induces stronger neural activity and more distinct response patterns between different tasks, which holds the potential to facilitate the development of a BCI feedback system with higher neuroplasticity induction and improved decoding performance.…”
