Infection prevention and control factors associated with post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis - a review of the literature from 2010 - 2023.

Patients undergoing cataract surgery are at risk of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis (PCSE), a sight-threatening complication. Cataract surgery is a relatively straightforward and quick procedure often performed under local anaesthetic. It is therefore simple to scale up to reduce the currently long waiting times, but it is important to maintain patient safety when considering high throughput surgery.

Food as harm reduction during a drinking session: reducing the harm or normalising harmful use of alcohol? A qualitative comparative analysis of alcohol industry and non-alcohol industry-funded guidance.

Background: The aim of this study was to critically analyse information concerning the relationship between alcohol and food consumption provided via alcohol industry (AI) funded and non-AI-funded health-oriented websites, to determine the role it plays within the alcohol information space, and how this serves the interests of the disseminating organisations.

Methods: Information on food as a harm reduction measure while drinking alcohol was extracted from 15 AI websites and websites of AI-funded corporate social responsibility (CSR) organisations. As a comparison group, non-AI-funded health websites were also searched (n = 16 websites with food and alcohol-related content).
