AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 92 women who underwent curettage, where all participants received Doxycyclin treatment immediately after the procedure.
- Of the patients, 49 underwent emergency curettage (II group) and 23 had a planned endometrial biopsy (I group), with a 100% success rate in the I group and 91.7% in the II group.
- Only 8.3% of patients in the II group required an extended Doxycyclin treatment for an additional 6 days due to signs of infection, indicating that the initial 3-day course significantly reduces infection risk post-curettage.
Article Abstract
In prospective study we investigated 92 patients after curettage. All women were treated with Doxycyclin immediately after curettage 2 times with 1 tablet of 100 mg every 12 hours for 3 days. With 72 of these patients we had feed-back and they were followed for signs of infection. In 49 patients (II group) emergency curettage was performed and in 23 patients (I group) a planning endometrial biopsy (Strich abrasio) was done. We noted 100% success rate in I group and 91.7% in II group with Doxycyclin for 3 days. Only in 6 patients (8.3%) of II group the continuing treatment with Doxycyclin was necessary for 6 days because of signs of infection. The use of Doxycyclin after curettage for 3 days decreases the risk of infection and only the doctor will decide the usage of antibiotic for 6 days.

Cholera remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria, with recurrent outbreaks exacerbated by inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, as well as conflict and displacement. This review examines cholera outbreaks in Nigeria from 2010 to 2024, analyzing epidemiological trends, contributing factors, and public health responses. Seasonal peaks during periods of heavy rainfall and flooding have consistently facilitated transmission, with Northern regions disproportionately affected due to poor infrastructure and ongoing conflicts.

Objective: The orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) failure often occurs due to the accumulation of peri-implantitis bacteria surrounding it, which results in a stable, resistant form of absolute skeletal anchorage during orthodontic treatment. Administering doxycycline may be the solution, but long-term side effects result in antibiotic resistance. Roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) possess beneficial active phytochemical substances, which may have potential as an OMI peri-implantitis alternative therapy.

Leptospirosis is a severe and potentially fatal re-emerging zoonotic and waterborne disease caused by pathogenic and intermediate species of Leptospira. Given the high global rates of morbidity and mortality associated with this disease, there is an urgent need to explore alternative therapeutic agents to enhance treatment options. This study investigates the anti-leptospiral efficacy of several common antibiotics-penicillin G, doxycycline, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefotaxime, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin, as well as extracts from local herbs, Hydnophytum formicarum Jack and Boesenbergia stenophylla, against pathogenic and intermediate Leptospira strains.

Scrub typhus is an infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is transmitted through bite of chigger mite larvae and presents with symptoms such as fever, myalgia, headache, rash, and a characteristic eschar at the site of mite bites. This report details the case of a woman exhibiting acute febrile illness, bilateral pneumonia, and severe hypoxemia, prompting suspicion of scrub typhus due to the presence of a typical eschar on the pubic mound.
