Antimicrobial resistance has recently increased due to emerging carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains of K. pneumoniae. Osaka Metropolitan University researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prevalence of ESBL-producing and carbapenem-resistant strains in hmKp and non-hmKp clinical isolates.

Researchers from Brazilian, Argentine, and Uruguayan institutions analyze the barriers that low- and middle-income countries face in disseminating research on intensive care medicine, particularly in the treatment of critically ill patients. Published this month in The Lancet, the study highlights how historical and economic biases perpetuate inequalities and suggests changes to make the scientific publishing system more inclusive and representative of the global community.

The rapid digitisation of essential services in the UK is deepening inequalities for minoritized ethnic communities, a major three-year research project has found. 

Without careful design, online services risk excluding those already facing digital exclusion, language barriers and systemic discrimination, according to the Protecting Minority Ethnic Communities Online (PRIME) study, which publishes a series of policy briefs, a Code of Practice and videos in multiple languages alongside a suite of free-to-use technological tools - today.

Yue Yu, professor of mathematics at Lehigh University, has been named a 2025 recipient of the prestigious Gallagher Young Investigator Award by the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM). This award recognizes Yu’s innovative contributions in numerical methods and AI-based physics modeling within computational mechanics, particularly her pioneering work in data-driven nonlocal models.

Some of the world’s most advanced AI systems struggle to tell the time and work out dates on calendars, a study suggests.
