Single-Dose Versus Multiple-Dose Prophylactic Antibiotics in Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis.
J Korean Med Sci
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Recent guidelines about preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) recommend against the administration of prophylactic antibiotics after surgery. However, many colorectal surgeons still prefer prolonged use of prophylactic antibiotics. While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become the standard for colorectal cancer surgery, there were few studies about proper dose of prophylactic antibiotics in minimally invasive colorectal surgery.

BMJ Open
October 2024
Department of Infectious Disease, The People's Hospital of Dazu Chongqing, Chongqing, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the occurrence, resistance, and risk factors related to community-onset urinary tract infections (COUTIs) caused by bacteria that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL-EC).
- Conducted at a major hospital in China, this retrospective case-control analysis focused on adult patients with community-acquired UTIs, examining cases from May 2017 to December 2022 and excluding those with incomplete data or prior hospitalizations.
- Results indicated that nearly 49% of COUTIs were due to ESBL-EC, with several significant risk factors identified, including previous urolithiasis procedures, urological surgery, recent hospitalizations, presence of an indwelling catheter, and previous
The Bacterial Species Behind the Wound and Their Antibacterial Resistant Pattern: A Three-Year Retrospective Study at St. Dominic Hospital, Akwatia, Ghana.
J Clin Lab Anal
November 2024
Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Basic and Biomedical Sciences, University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho, Ghana.
Background: Wound infections are often underestimated issues that can lead to chronic illnesses, and since the introduction of antibiotics, wound complications have become less common. However, due to the increased and irrational use of these antibiotics, the resistance in the bacterial isolates has become very common. This has led to reduced treatment options, delay in wound healing, and high treatment costs.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Department of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology, Kasturba Medical College Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka, Manipal, 576104 India.
Article Synopsis
- A notch in hearing is identified as a frequency drop greater than 15 dB at a specific point compared to adjacent frequencies.
- The case report focuses on a 16-year-old with a rare 1 kHz notch in hearing, emphasizing the lack of existing information on its clinical profile.
- The findings suggest that potential causes for this notch could be linked to ototoxic medications the patient took for various health issues, like appendix surgery and malaria.
Relevance and antimicrobial resistance profile of in neonatal sepsis.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2024
Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- Newborns in hospitals are highly vulnerable to infections, particularly neonatal sepsis, which is a leading cause of neonatal mortality due to bacteria like Enterobacteriaceae.
- The study analyzed 75 cases of Enterobacteriaceae septicemia in a NICU to assess clinical features and antibiotic resistance among infected infants.
- Key findings revealed that most subjects were premature, with significant differences in clinical markers and higher drug resistance levels observed in those infected by Klebsiella pneumoniae compared to other Enterobacteriaceae.
