Beyond CDC-Defined Surgical Site Infection: Factors Associated with Antibiotic Prescription After Breast Operation.
Surg Infect (Larchmt)
November 2024
Division of Breast Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Most studies on surgical site infections (SSIs) use the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, which excludes inflammation or cellulitis without fever. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibiotic prescription trends in the post-operative period among patients undergoing breast operation. We explore the outcomes of patients receiving antibiotic agents outside of the CDC-defined SSI.

Article Synopsis
- * A 75-year-old woman developed foot ulceration after undergoing angioplasty and stenting, which was initially misdiagnosed and treated as an infection, leading to ineffective broad antibiotic treatment.
- * Following a biopsy that confirmed Sweet syndrome, she was treated with prednisone, showing significant symptom improvement, highlighting the need to consider this condition in differential diagnoses to avoid misdiagnosis and improve treatment outcomes.
Differentiation of bacterial orbital cellulitis and diffuse non-specific orbital inflammation on magnetic resonance imaging.
Eur J Ophthalmol
September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, The Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences observed in MRI scans between bacterial orbital cellulitis (OC) and diffuse non-specific orbital inflammation (DNSOI) to aid in diagnosis.
- A total of 32 patients were reviewed, revealing distinct MRI characteristics such as the T2 signal intensity and contrast enhancement patterns, with OC showing hyperintense signals and specific EOM involvement.
- The findings suggest that while certain MRI features can help distinguish between OC and DNSOI, the overlap in radiological signs creates challenges in making a definitive diagnosis between infectious and non-infectious orbital inflammation.
Complications and Mortality After Surgery in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study Based on a Multicenter Clinical Database.
J Multidiscip Healthc
July 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Taipei Medical University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Objective: To evaluate the postoperative complications and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease.
Methods: Biochemical measurements, diagnosis codes for CKD and comorbid conditions for surgical patients aged ≥20 years were obtained from electronic medical records of three large hospitals in Taiwan in 2009-2017. We conducted this retrospective cohort study by using propensity score-matching methods to balance the baseline characteristics between CKD and non-CKD groups.
