Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the Karydakis flap procedure performed by a single surgeon for the treatment of pilonidal sinus, focusing on postoperative complications, recurrence rate, wound healing time, and return to daily life.
Methods: Authors performed a retrospective data analysis of patients who underwent reconstruction of pilonidal sinus using the Karydakis technique at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, Center for Severe Burn Injuries of Paracelsus Medical University, Klinikum Nürnberg, Germany, between 2014 and 2021. All cases were performed by a single surgeon.
Correction: HELLO: a protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial to enhance interpersonal relationships and team cohesion among ICU healthcare professionals.

Article Synopsis
- * Bilateral CSD (BCSD) shows an approximate 60% reduction in implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks and over 50% one-year survival without shock or transplant, while the 2017 guidelines endorse the left CSD for specific RVT types.
- * Despite the promising results, many studies have small sample sizes leading to potential underreporting of complications; more research is needed to fully understand the long
Background: Acinetobacter seifertii, a member of A baumannii-calcoaceticus complex, can be considered a pathogen of concern due to the presence of resistance genes. The aim of the study was to describe an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant A seifertii among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: All patients with carbapenem-resistant A seifertii diagnosed and admitted to the NICU from June 2023 to October 2023 were included.
Purpose: Tolerance and persistence occur "silently" in bacteria categorized as susceptible by antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories. They are different from resistance phenomena, not well-studied, and often remain unnoticeable. We aimed to investigate and characterize ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) tolerance/persistence in 80 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from bloodstream infections.
