Infectious keratitis following photorefractive keratectomy: a 13-year study at a tertiary center.
J Ophthalmic Inflamm Infect
January 2025
School of medicine, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical sciences, Yazd, Iran.
Introduction: Infectious keratitis is a rare but devastating complication following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) that may lead to visual impairment. This study assessed the clinical features, treatment strategies, and outcomes of post-PRK infectious keratitis.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on patients with post-PRK infectious keratitis presenting to Khalili Hospital, Shiraz, Iran, from June 2011 to March 2024.

Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital, Department of Paediatrics, Ministry of Health, Klang, Selangor, Malaysia.
Introduction: To determine the epidemiology of blood culture-positive late-onset sepsis (LOS, >72 hours of age) in 44 Malaysian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Materials And Methods: Study Design: Multicentre retrospective observational study using data from the Malaysian National Neonatal Registry.
Participants: 739486 neonates (birthweight ≥500g, gestation ≥22 weeks) born and admitted in 2015-2020.
Late-Onset Mesh Infection Manifesting as Preperitoneal Abscess and Cutaneous Fistula Post-TEP Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Case Report.

Department of General Surgery, Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become the preferred technique currently. The use of mesh to facilitate a tension-free reinforcement has become the standard of care during endoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP), laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal, and open inguinal hernia repair. Although uncommon, late-developing mesh infections, defined as those occurring in the surgical site months or years after the procedure, can lead to severe complications.

Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of California, La Jolla, California.
Background: In the neonatal intensive care unit, infants are at risk for late-onset sepsis. When blood cultures are negative, antibiotic stewardship efforts encourage stopping antibiotics, yet the duration of therapeutic exposure after the last dose is unknown.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study of simulated antibiotic exposures used published population pharmacokinetic models within drug-specific neonatal intensive care unit cohorts of preterm and term infants, postnatal age 7-60 days and exposed to cefepime, piperacillin-tazobactam or tobramycin.
Intrastromal Corneal Ring Implants Associated Bacterial Infections.
Curr Eye Res
October 2024
School of Optometry and Vision Science, UNSW Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Purpose: This study examines the incidence of infection and resistance associated with Intracorneal Ring Segment (ICRS) implantation, a common outpatient surgical treatment for correcting refractive errors and corneal ectatic diseases. Although ICRS procedures are typically safe and reversible, there is a low but notable risk of microbial infections, which require prompt and sometimes invasive treatment.
Methods: Three electronic databases, PubMed, Web of Science (WoS), and Scopus, were utilised to search for literature according to PRISMA guidelines to identify infections related to the implantation of ICRS in the cornea between January 2000 and December 2022.
