BACKGROUND Periorbital abscesses are uncommon complications of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis; with the evolution of diagnostic and therapeutic methods, it is rare that the patient progresses to irreversible blindness. Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) rarely occur simultaneously and the factors that influence this occurrence are not well understood. CASE REPORT This is a case report of an immunocompetent healthy adolescent girl, who developed irreversible blindness caused by a periorbital abscess secondary to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis due to CRAO and CRVO.

- Two experiments were conducted to assess the impact of fumaric acid and an acidifier blend on piglet diets that included colistin or halquinol, focusing on various performance and health metrics.
- Despite no significant effects on overall performance, diarrhea incidence, gut pH, or intestinal morphology, the acidifier blend increased large intestine weight and fumaric acid decreased pancreas weight and harmful bacteria in the cecum.
- Overall, while the additives did not enhance performance in piglets, fumaric acid displayed a notable inhibitory effect on the gut microbiota.
