Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and 1-year follow-up of patients with bone and joint infections (BJIs) caused by Staphylococcus lugdunensis and evaluate its biofilm-forming capacities.
Patients And Methods: Overall, 28 patients with BJIs from VISLISI clinical trials were included. We evaluated 1-year clinical follow-up and analyzed biofilm production kinetics of the 28 strains using the BioFilm Ring Test®.
Results: Of all patients, 12 had osteoarticular infections without material and 16 had prosthetic joint infections, of which 9 underwent a 1-stage revision procedure. At the 1-year follow-up, all patients were cured but needed a surgical intervention. Diabetes affected 46.4% of all patients. Of all, 20 strains (71.4%) started biofilm formation within 2 h, but all strains started the formation after 4 h experiment, and 25 strains (89.3%) reached a maximum after 6 h.
Conclusions: This study describes the clinical and surgical management of BJIs caused by S. lugdunensis and shows that 1-stage prosthesis exchange procedures may be efficient. Further, It shows that biofilm production by this strain was not marginal and directly impacted clinical and surgical management.

With the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, there remains considerable controversy regarding the choice of surgical approach and anastomosis method for patients with right-sded colon cancer (RSCC). This meta-analysis compared the short-term outcomes of open right colectomies (ORC), laparoscopic right colectomies with intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis (LRC-IA and LRC-EA), as well as robot right colectomies with intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis (RRC-IA and RRC-EA). A systematic search was conducted across PubMed (n = 549), Web of Science (n = 821), Embase (n = 591), and the Cochrane Central Register (n = 86) from January 2000 to August 2024.

Multifunctional hydrogels hold significant promise for promoting the healing of infected wounds but often fall short in inhibiting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and their clinical translation is limited by complex preparation processes and high costs. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel is developed by combining metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) formed by tannic acid (TA) and gallium ions (Ga⁺) with chitosan (CS) through a simple one-step method. The resulting CS-TA-Ga⁺ (CTG) hydrogel is cost-effective and exhibits desirable properties, including injectability, self-healing, pH responsiveness, hemostasis, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities.

Introduction: Elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) was efficacious and well tolerated in children/adolescents with HIV (aged ≥6 years, weighing ≥25 kg) in a Phase 2/3 study. Here, we report data from children aged ≥2 years and weighing ≥14-<25 kg.
Methods: This is an analysis of data from the youngest cohort in an open-label, multicentre, multi-cohort, single-group, international study of children/adolescents with HIV.

Unlabelled: Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) induces chronic long-term latent infection that can cause fatal diseases, including adult T-cell leukemia. HTLV-1 production is poor and undetectable during the asymptomatic phase of infection. Virus-host immune interaction in latent infection has not been fully determined.

The 3C-like protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, known as the main protease (M), is an attractive drug target for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019. This study reports the discovery of novel M inhibitors using several techniques, including docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations. We performed docking calculations on 5950 compounds with bioactivity, and 12 compounds were selected.
