Article Synopsis
- * The study revealed that the majority of those with CRE had received antibiotics, particularly third-generation cephalosporins, within the past month, indicating potential links between antibiotic use and CRE colonization.
- * Antimicrobial resistance was prominent, with a high percentage of CRE isolates showing resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, though susceptibility to tigecycline and colistin was comparatively lower.

Article Synopsis
- Giant condylomata acuminatum (GCA), also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT), is a rare, slow-growing tumor linked to low-risk HPV types 6 and 11, with low chances of becoming invasive cancer.
- The study involved three patients (one woman and two men) who underwent surgical excision for their BLT, with two also receiving surgical reconstruction and achieving positive outcomes.
- The authors emphasize the need for early symptom recognition, effective treatment options, awareness of recurrence risks, and preventive strategies against HPV.
Background: The role of skin antisepsis after skin closure in abdominal surgery for sepsis is not well reported. This study assessed the effect of skin antisepsis following primary skin closure on surgical site infection (SSI) after contaminated and dirty abdominal surgery.
Methods: This was a randomised controlled trial involving adult patients undergoing laparotomy for sepsis.
Article Synopsis
- Postoperative ileus (a delay in bowel function) is a common issue after abdominal surgeries, leading to extended hospital stays due to its complex causes.
- This study aimed to evaluate whether combining gum-chewing with the medication metoclopramide could effectively reduce the duration of postoperative ileus compared to other treatments and a control.
- Results showed no significant differences in ileus duration among the treatment groups, with slight variations in median hospital stays, suggesting that neither treatment alone provided substantial benefits.
