Infections of intact and damaged skin barriers and keratin are frequently associated with complex biofilm communities containing bacteria and fungi, yet there are limited options for successful management. This study intended to focus on the utility of some novel proprietary lactam molecules, quorum sensing (QS)-derived halogenated furanones, which act to block the QS pathway, against key fungal pathogens of the skin (Candida albicans, Malassezia furfur and Microsporum gypseum). Moreover, we aimed to assess how these actives performed against complex interkingdom biofilms in a clinically relevant model.

Background This study hypothesizes that patients with femoral condylar hypoplasia who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may experience femoral component malrotation and that the surgeon performing the operation may not notice it. The aim is to measure the rotational alignment of the femoral components and assess the functional outcomes in these patients. Materials and methods Between December 2018 and December 2022, a total of 96 knees from 80 patients were evaluated.

Background: Fluid management is a crucial critical care component, influencing outcomes such as organ function, renal integrity, and survival in critically ill patients. Recent evidence suggests that balanced crystalloids may offer advantages over isotonic saline, particularly in reducing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and other complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of balanced crystalloids versus isotonic saline on clinical outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality.

Introduction: In contemporary clinical settings, three-dimensional (3D) models have become an integral component of daily practice. Photogrammetry, a novel method in clinical practice, enables the creation of precise 3D models from small objects while maintaining their original shape and size.
Aim: To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of digital models (DM) generated using photogrammetry techniques compared to traditional gypsum models (GM) and to investigate the feasibility of utilizing free software for processing and manipulating digital dental models.
