Determining the optimal antibiotic duration for skin and soft tissue infections.
Curr Opin Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Clínica Rotger Quironsalud, Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
Purpose Of Review: Optimal duration of therapy in SSTIs - a heterogeneous group of infections - remains unknown. The advances in knowledge of antibiotic duration of treatment in selected SSTIs that can impact clinical practice and published in the last 18 months are reviewed.
Recent Findings: Recent evidence indicates that few patients receive guideline concordant empiric antibiotics and appropriate duration in the United States, although this likely can be extrapolated to other countries.
Optimizing the life of vascular access during follow-up.
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino)
February 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, ASST Settelaghi Universitary Teaching Hospital, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy.
Optimizing the longevity of vascular access in hemodialysis patients remains a critical aspect of patient care, given the significant role of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in enabling effective dialysis. Vascular access complications, such as stenosis, thrombosis, and cannulation-related damage, continue to challenge both the functionality and the sustainability of these access points. Recent advancements underscore the importance of a robust follow-up strategy, integrating clinical evaluations with diagnostic tools like color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and emerging interventional approaches such as drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nagoya Tokushukai General Hospital, Kasugai, JPN.
Sternal fractures resulting from blunt chest trauma often present unique surgical challenges. While conservative management is common, cases with significant displacement, delayed union, or painful dyspnea may require surgical intervention to improve structural stability and relieve symptoms. Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old man who sustained a displaced sternal fracture in a motor vehicle accident.

December 2024
Colorectal Surgery, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, Blackpool, GBR.
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, present in approximately 2% of the population. While typically asymptomatic, MD can lead to complications such as obstruction and intussusception. Here, we present a case report of a man presenting with abdominal pain with an incidental finding of MD complicated by intussusception and our management approach.

World J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Nanchong Central Hospital, The Second Clinical Medical College, North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong 637000, Sichuan Province, China.
In this article, we discuss the study by Cheng , published in the , focusing on predictive methods for post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). PHLF is a common and serious complication, and accurate prediction is critical for clinical management. The study examines the potential of ultrasound elastography and splenic size in predicting PHLF.
