The fluoroquinolones in general, and particularly enoxacin, show great promise in the treatment of urinary tract infection. Orally administered enoxacin achieves high concentrations in the serum and urine as well as in prostate tissue, kidney and perirenal fat and muscle. These concentrations are generally in excess of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for 95% of the common uropathogens, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. In comparative clinical trials, treatment with oral enoxacin has achieved satisfactory clinical results (symptoms improved or absent) in 67 to 96% of patients and satisfactory bacteriological results (less than 10(4) colony count of the original bacteria) in 77 to 98% of patients. Clinical cure or improvement occurred in 94 to 100% of patients in uncontrolled trials, with corresponding satisfactory bacteriological results of 82 to 100%. In a number of studies of patients with difficult-to-treat infections, satisfactory clinical results were achieved in 92 to 100% of patients and satisfactory bacteriological results in 89 to 100% of patients.

Introduction-Aim: Postpartum septic osteoarthritis is a rare but serious condition often misdiagnosed due to overlap with common postpartum symptoms like pelvic pain and joint stiffness. This case series aims to describe the clinical, bacteriological, and radiological characteristics of postpartum septic osteoarthritis, as well as the treatment approaches and patient outcomes. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted at Farhat Hached University Hospital, from 2006 to 2022, involving patients with confirmed postpartum septic osteoarthritis.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) among women and infants during the perinatal period is not rare, particularly in countries with a high TB burden. And the risk would increase significantly following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVFET). Worse still, TB in this stage is apt to develop into severe forms in women and neonates, such as disseminated TB or tuberculous meningitis (TBM).

An 8-month-old male American Staffordshire terrier was referred for a no-weightbearing lameness of the right pelvic limb, hyperthermia, lethargy and inappetence. Two months before, endocarditis was diagnosed and treated in another veterinary hospital. Orthopedic, radiographic and tomographic examinations revealed a bone sequestrum of 4 × 1.

Article Synopsis
- The French National Authority for Health reviewed literature on complications from pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery using synthetic mesh, which are rare but can severely impact women's quality of life, leading to multidisciplinary clinical practice recommendations with graded levels of evidence.
- Patients must be adequately informed about the risks of POP surgery, with specific guidelines suggesting against certain practices like vaginal packing and requiring alternative surgical techniques in complex cases.
- For bladder injuries during surgery, recommended practices include suturing and monitoring ureter permeability, with potential use of a prosthetic mesh post-repair for better outcomes.
