Objectives: This study aimed to map the microbiome of odontogenic abscesses using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify bacterial and fungal species, as well as antibiotic resistances.

Materials And Methods: Wound swabs were taken from patients treated for odontogenic abscesses at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery, University Hospital Bonn. NGS was used to analyze the swabs, and bioinformatic analysis assigned the genetic material to microorganism profiles and identified antibiotic resistances.

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at how long patients with serious infections in their mouths and necks stayed in the hospital and what factors made their stay longer or shorter.
  • They examined hospital records of 248 patients and found that removing the infected tooth during the same visit led to a shorter hospital stay compared to removing it later.
  • The research also showed that other factors like having diabetes and the spread of infection could make the hospital stay longer, and it helps doctors decide how to treat these infections better.

Purpose: This study set out to compare the in-hospital outcomes of early elective and elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy due to diverticulitis.

Methods: We examined the data for 378 diverticulitis patients who received an elective laparoscopic sigmoid resection between 2008 and 2012. We divided the patients into two groups: elective (group A, n = 278) and early elective (group B, n = 100).

Introduction: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a severe complication of antiresorptive medication (AM) in the treatment of bone-affecting cancer-related conditions and osteoporosis. Aim of this study was to reveal whether patients treated with AM and show Medication Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) are vitamin D deficient or not.

Materials And Methods: A 2 year retrospective study evaluated hospital records of 63 patients who received AM.
