Ultrasonography-guided transabdominal needle aspiration was carried out to remove 3 to 14 ml of purulent matter from the cavities of prostatic abscesses in 6 dogs, and the same volume of tea tree oil was injected into the cavities to treat the abscesses. The same treatment was repeated 3 weeks later in 4 dogs, and subsequent disappearance of the purulent matter in the cavities and a marked reduction in the volume of the cavities were observed. These findings indicate that the treatment of prostatic abscesses by aspiration of the purulent matter and injection of tea tree oil into the cavities is very effective in dogs.

Postoperative rhinosinusitis and microbiological outcomes following endoscopic endonasal approaches: A retrospective analysis of 300 patients.
J Chin Med Assoc

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC.
Background: Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) are an efficient way to manage skull base lesions; however, studies regarding postoperative rhinosinusitis are limited. This study analyzed the incidence of postoperative rhinosinusitis, the associated risk factors, microbial species, and antibiotic usage in patients who underwent EEA.
Methods: Patients who underwent EEAs at a tertiary referral hospital between July 2015 and May 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old male with a long history of a growing neck lump and diabetes mellitus was hospitalized due to a chronic infected giant thyroid cyst.
- Imaging revealed the cyst displaced the trachea, leading to surgical intervention where inflammatory complications were discovered, but thankfully major vessels were unharmed.
- The surgery resulted in a diagnosis of a benign thyroid cyst with chronic infection, suggesting a link between the cyst's progression and the patient's diabetes.

Bronchial asthma is a widely prevalent illness that substantially impacts an individual's health standard worldwide and has a significant financial impact on society. Global guidelines for managing asthma do not recommend the routine use of antimicrobial agents because most episodes of the condition are linked to viral respiratory tract infections (RTI), and bacterial infection appears to have an insignificant impact. However, antibiotics are recommended when there is a high-grade fever, a consolidation on the chest radiograph, and purulent sputum that contains polymorphs rather than eosinophils.

Conjunctivitis is a common pediatric problem and is broadly divided into infectious and non-infectious etiologies. Bacterial conjunctivitis makes up the majority of cases in children and often presents with purulent discharge and mattering of the eyelids. Treatment is supportive with an individual approach to antibiotic use in uncomplicated cases since it may shorten symptom duration, but is not without risks.

Background: Infections are considered as leading causes of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Non-infectious risk factors such as short-term air pollution exposure may play a clinically important role. We sought to estimate the relationship between short-term air pollutant exposure and exacerbations in Canadian adults living with mild to moderate COPD.
