Article Abstract
Objectives: It is aimed to examine and determine the sociodemographic, clinical parameters and ultrasonographic (USG) findings and to make various predictions about patients who will need tube-ovarian abscess (TOA) surgery.
Material And Methods: Within the scope of the study conducted between April 2016 and March 2021, 140 patients diagnosed with TOA were evaluated. The parties in the comparison were compared based on clinical and USG findings of demographic characteristics of the patients who received medical and surgical treatment and those who received only medical treatment.
Results: Ninety-eight (72.05%) patients whose surgical and medical treatment required underwent laparotomy, laparoscopy, and USG-guided drainage. The most important potential hazards for surgical procedures include severe abdominal pain, extent of abscess, and length of hospital stay. Critical threshold for a surgical procedure is when the abscess size becomes 5.5 cm (95% CI: 0.686-0.855, 0.686-0.855, p < 0.05). In the USG-guided drainage group no other complications were noticed.
Conclusion: The size of the abscess is a valuable indicator of whether surgical treatment is required to manage TOAs and the USG-guided drainage led to fewer complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared two treatment methods for breast abscesses: traditional incision and drainage (I&D) and ultrasound (USG)-guided aspiration, focusing on their effectiveness and patient outcomes.
- Fifty women were divided into two groups, with group A receiving I&D under general anesthesia and group B receiving USG-guided aspiration under local anesthesia, followed by a two-week recovery assessment.
- Results showed that USG-guided aspiration led to faster healing, fewer complications, better resumption of lactation, and no scarring, suggesting it is a safer and more patient-friendly option compared to the traditional I&D approach.
Multiple brain abscesses in a neonate: a rare case report along with review of literature.

Article Synopsis
- Brain abscesses (BAs) are serious pyogenic infections in the brain that can be fatal if untreated; they are rare in neonates, especially those caused by fungi.
- A 20-day-old newborn with fever, jaundice, and seizures was diagnosed with multiple cerebral abscesses caused by a fungus, leading to surgical drainage and antifungal treatment.
- Managing fungal BAs in neonates is challenging due to their similarity to bacterial infections, but early detection and treatment can significantly improve survival rates.
Clinical predictors and outcomes of non-expandable lung following percutaneous catheter drainage in lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusion.

Non-expandable lung (NEL) often occurs during pleural fluid drainage in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE). However, data regarding the predictors and prognostic impact of NEL on primary lung cancer patients with MPE receiving pleural fluid drainage, compared to malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), are limited. This study was aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients with MPE developing NEL following ultrasonography (USG)-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) and compare the clinical outcomes between those with and without NEL.

Pott's disease may accompany psoas abscesses, but bilateral psoas abscess is rarely encountered. Computerised Tomography (CT) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of psoas abscesses. Treatment of psoas abscess usually involves drainage of abscess and antibiotic therapy.

Background And Aim: Severe cholangitis secondary to biliary obstruction carries high mortality unless biliary drainage is performed urgently. Owing to various patient-related and logistical issues, bedside biliary drainage is considered a salvage therapeutic option. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasonography (USG)-guided biliary drainage at the bedside in patients with severe cholangitis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
