Posttraumatic Osteomyelitis: Improvement in Outcome by Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation Technique Abstract. Surgical treatment of post-traumatic (fistula) osteomyelitis can be difficult and is associated with an increased risk of later recurrence. Very often osteomyelitis is accompanied by a soft tissue (defective) wound. After surgical debridement, the use of the vacuum sealing technique can stimulate wound healing and improve local blood circulation. In particular, the introduction of the innovative instillation technique for wound sponges can increase the effectiveness of the treatment of the infection. By regularly rinsing the sponges with an antiseptic polyhexanide solution, the duration of treatment, the number of operations, the in-patient stay and the recurrence rate in this patient group can be statistically significantly reduced.

Effect of Time to Surgery on Surgical Site Infection in Open Distal Radius Fractures: A Review of the ACS Trauma Quality Improvement Program Database.

Introduction: Managing open distal radius fractures (DRFs) poses challenges. While preventing surgical site infection (SSI) involves prompt antibiotic administration and thorough irrigation and debridement, the impact of urgent intervention on reducing postoperative infection rates is debated. We hypothesize that timing of surgery does not significantly affect the incidence of SSI in open DRF treated within or after 24 hours from time of injury.

Purpose: To explore the effects of personalized oral stents in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment.
Methods: Totally 108 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT at Nanjing Gaochun People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into experimental group (n=54) using personalized oral stents and control group (n=54) using simple mouthpieces.

Background: Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) enhances patient safety, improves outcomes, and reduces healthcare costs by decreasing 30-day readmissions and adverse events. However, the optimal structure and follow-up protocols for OPAT programs remain undefined. Identifying high-risk patients for readmission and managing adverse drug events (ADEs) are critical components of OPAT care.

Background And Purpose: Studies show a modest yield for image-guided biopsy of suspected vertebral osteomyelitis-discitis. Many studies evaluate factors to improve diagnostic yield, and few studies assess how biopsy results impact clinical management. We aim to evaluate the impact of biopsy results on clinical management in suspected vertebral osteomyelitis-discitis.

Background: Many studies have compared lip-splitting mandibulotomy (LSM) and lip-mandible preservation (LMP) techniques in oral and oropharyngeal cancer (OOPC) patients with inconsistent conclusions. Evidence-based recommendations for the optimal surgical approach for treating OOPC are lacking.
Methods: The Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, WAN-FANG, CQVIP, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were systematically searched to identify studies that compared LSM versus LMP for OOPC.
