Odontogenic sinusitis is a well-known, but under-studied bacterial infection of the maxillary sinus that can extend to other sinuses, the orbit, or even the endocranium. We performed an observational retrospective study on the patients with odontogenic sinusitis treated in our hospital over a five-year period. We included patients over 18 years old diagnosed with odontogenic sinusitis and ocular complications and we excluded patients with ocular complications nonrelated to dental-originated sinusitis or patients with odontogenic sinusitis without orbital-ocular complications.

- - The Blue Iguana Recovery Programme is focused on breeding and supporting the endangered Grand Cayman blue iguana, during which a novel bacteria named Helicobacter sp. GCBI1 was discovered in lethargic wild iguanas.
- - Between 2015 and 2017, this bacteria was identified in 11 blue iguanas, resulting in two deaths and treatment for nine others, with only five surviving.
- - Research indicates that the Grand Cayman blue iguanas do not carry or shed this bacteria asymptomatically, but green iguanas in the same region may be carriers; the source and transmission route for the infection are still not understood.
