Is topical antibiotic use necessary to prevent surgical site infection following oculoplastic surgery?

Purpose: To assess whether oculoplastic surgeries can be performed without any topical and systemic antibiotics, in a "100% antibiotic free" fashion.

Method: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study between November 2017 and December 2022. Patients who underwent an oculoplastic procedure were screened.

Designing of WO@CoO Heterostructures to Enhance Photoelectrochemical Performances.

Heterostructured photocatalysts are superior to single photocatalysts because they offer better charge separation and broaden light harnessing abilities. Although WO is considered an oxygen-evolving photocatalyst with decent stability and proper band gap, its lower photocatalytic efficiency is ascribed to high charge recombination. In this research, a WO@CoO heterostructure reduced the recombination of photocatalytic charges and extended light absorption abilities, resulting in improved photocatalytic activity.
