From Guidelines to Action: Tackling Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infections.
Antibiotics (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Biomedical and Dental Sciences and Morphofunctional Imaging, University of Messina, 98124 Messina, Italy.
Surgical site infections are a serious public health concern, representing a significant burden on healthcare systems and society. Their occurrence is influenced by several factors, including patient demographics, healthcare facilities and the specific circumstances surrounding surgery. The use of prophylactic antibiotics in this context carries both potential benefits and risks.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: The impact of prophylactic medication following ileocecal resection (ICR) for Crohn's disease (CD) merits further elucidation. Prophylactic medication following ileocecal resection (ICR) is recommended in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), particularly in patients at increased risk of recurrence, but the impact on long-term outcomes needs to be further elucidated.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of postoperative prophylactic medication on long-term prognosis.
Nd:YAG Laser Iridotomy Versus Surgical Iridectomy in Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty: Comparison of Postoperative Outcome and Incidence of Ocular Hypertension.
Cornea
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Düsseldorf, Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate outcome and incidence of ocular hypertension after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and DMEK combined with cataract surgery (triple DMEK) after Nd:YAG laser iridotomy (IO) and surgical iridectomy (IE).
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent DMEK or triple DMEK surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Düsseldorf, Germany, from January 2018 to June 2020 and had received either a prophylactic preoperative IO or an intraoperative IE. Patient demographic data; best corrected visual acuity; central corneal thickness; intraocular pressure (IOP); endothelial cell density; and complications such as occurrence of early postoperative IOP elevation, macular edema, rebubbling rate, and incidence of glaucoma were analyzed.
A surge in female condom distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic in Gauteng province, South Africa.
Contracept Reprod Med
January 2025
School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Background: Female Condoms are 90-95% effective against HIV transmission when correctly and consistently used and are also cost-effective. In general, condoms prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Although the COVID-19 pandemic had the potential to undermine routine healthcare services delivery and utilisation, there is limited evidence about the pandemic's effect on Female Condom uptake in Gauteng, one of the hardest-hit provinces in South Africa.

Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital and Institutes of Biomedical Sciences Zhongshan Hospital, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Loss-of-function mutations in NOTCH1 were previously linked to thoracic aortopathy, a condition for which non-surgical treatment options are limited. Based on clinical proteome analysis, we hypothesized that mitochondrial fusion and biogenesis in aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are crucial for regulating the progression of NOTCH1-related aortopathy. Here we demonstrate that SMC-specific Notch1 knockout mice develop aortic pathology, including stiffening, dilation and focal dissection.
