AI Article Synopsis
- An analysis of 137 patients with post-injection abscesses showed that these abscesses made up 10.8% of all purulent diseases, with 19.7% of patients having diabetes.
- Of the patients, 79 received conventional treatment, while 58 underwent surgical treatment using a drainage-irrigative system.
- The average recovery time for those treated conventionally was 37.8 days, compared to just 16.2 days for those who had the surgical procedure.
Article Abstract
The results of treatment of 137 patients with post-injection abscesses are analysed. The specific weight of such abscesses in the general structure of purulent diseases was 10.8%. Diabetes mellitus was present in 19.7% of the patients. Seventy nine patients were treated by a conventional method. In 58 patients, the surgical treatment with the use of a drainage-irrigative system was employed. Of them, in 15 patients, the prolonged aspiration by means of the adapted VK-1 microcompressor were performed. In therapy of post-injection abscesses by a conventional method, the mean period of temporary invalidity was 37.8 days, and in surgical treatment with the use of a drainage-irrigative system--16.2 days.

Perspective: Risks/adverse events for epidural spinal injections.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical and lumbar epidural spinal injections are commonly used in the US for back pain despite not having FDA approval, yet studies show they offer little to no short-term or long-term benefits compared to placebos.* -
- Adverse events (AE) are more frequent and severe with cervical injections, particularly transforaminal (C-TFESI), leading to issues like respiratory distress, paralysis, and infections, while lumbar injections have their own set of risks.* -
- Overall, the effectiveness of these injections is questioned, as most research indicates they do not significantly improve patient outcomes compared to other treatments like saline or local anesthetics.*

Article Synopsis
- Retroperitoneal abscesses are rare but serious infections in the abdomen that can be difficult to diagnose due to vague symptoms.
- The condition can lead to severe health complications if not identified and treated promptly.
- The case presented involves a 32-year-old intravenous drug user who developed a retroperitoneal abscess after injecting drugs into a vein, experiencing high fever, hiccups, and back pain as primary symptoms.
A sustainable and self-healable silk fibroin nanocomposite with antibacterial and drug eluting properties for 3D printed wound dressings.

The development of self-healable and 3D printable hydrogels with decent biocompatibility, mechanical durability, adhesiveness to tissues, and antibacterial activity is of great importance for wound healing applications. In this study, we present a sustainable and environmentally friendly composite hydrogel consisting of silk fibroin (SF), oxidized salep (OS), and kappa carrageenan nanoparticles (NPs) for efficient wound care. The injectable nanocomposite hydrogel is highly stretchable and exhibits strong tissue adhesiveness and self-healing response through Schiff-base cross-linking between OS and SF.

The authors present complex surgical treatment of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and persistent wound in the right gluteal region after previous surgical treatment of post-injection abscess. According to these data, active surgical treatment of wounds and purulent-necrotic lesions of any etiology and localization, augmented by modern agents for local and systemic therapy (including phage therapy) provide favorable functional and cosmetic results even in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases receiving glucocorticosteroids. It is important to assess the wound process considering not only clinical data, but also objective information of qualitative and quantitative microbiological and cytological examinations.

Background: F18-FET PET has an established diagnostic role in adult brain gliomas. In this study we analyzed image derived static and dynamic parameters with available conventional MRI, histological, clinical and follow-up data in assessment of pediatric brain tumor patients at different stages of the disease.
Methods: Forty-four pediatric patients with median age 7 years, diagnosed with brain tumors and underwent forty-seven 18F-FET PET scans either initially (20 scans) or post-therapy (27 scans) were enrolled.
