Evaluation of Triclosan coated suture in obstetrical surgery: A prospective randomized controlled study (NCT05330650).

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of Triclosan coated suture in reducing surgical site infections (SSIs) rate after caesarian delivery (CD).

Study Design: Three hundred eighty patients were randomly assigned to closure with polyglactin non coated suture VICRYL, or with polyglactin coated suture VICRYL Plus after caesarian section. The primary outcome was the rate of SSIs within 30 days after surgery and secondary outcomes were the rate of wound healing complications.

Granular type I corneal dystrophy in a large consanguineous Tunisian family with homozygous p.R124S mutation in the gene.

: We report the clinical features and the mutational analysis in a large Tunisian family with granular corneal dystrophy type I (GCD1). : Thirty-three members of the Tunisian family underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination. DNA extraction and direct Sanger sequencing of the exons 4 and 12 of transforming growth factor β Induced (TGFBI) gene was performed for 42 members.
