Results of a systematic review and meta-analysis of early studies on ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug, has been repurposed for COVID-19 treatment during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Although its antiviral efficacy was confirmed early in vitro and in preclinical studies, its clinical efficacy remained ambiguous. Our purpose was to assess the efficacy of ivermectin in terms of time to viral clearance based on the meta-analysis of available clinical trials at the closing date of the data search period, one year after the start of the pandemic.

Peritonsillar abscess: an 8-year retrospective, culture based evaluation of 208 cases.

Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common infection which requires surgical intervention and suitable antibiotic therapy. Beside and several other mostly anaerobic bacteria can be cultured from the properly taken pus samples of PTA, the clinical significance of which is still not fully understood. This study focused on the culture-based microbiological evaluation of PTA cases, compared to surgical intervention and empirical antibiotic management.

Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az orrmelléküreg-daganatok kezelésében a legfrissebb nemzetközi ajánlások alapján továbbra is a sebészi reszekció az elsődlegesen választandó módszer. Bár az endoszkópos technikák fejlődésével a külső feltárással járó műtétek bizonyos esetekben háttérbe szorultak, napjainkban még mindig a Weber-Fergusson-féle metszést tartják a legszélesebb feltárást biztosító technikának, annak ellenére is, hogy a módszer stigmatizáló hegeket és deformitásokat hagy a páciensek arcán.
