Treatment of infected wounds remains a challenge owing to antibiotic resistance; thus, developing smart biomaterials for the healing of infected wounds is urgently needed. In this study, a microneedle (MN) patch system with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties is developed to promote and accelerate infected wound healing. In the MN patch (termed PFG/M MNs), a nanoparticle with polydopamine (PDA)-loaded iron oxide is grafted with glucose oxidase (GOx) and hyaluronic acid (HA) and then integrated into the tips, and amine-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AP-MSNs) are incorporated into the bases. Results show that PFG/M MNs eradicate bacterial infections and modulate the immune microenvironment, combining the advantages of chemodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and M2 macrophage polarization from Fe/PDA@GOx@HA in the tips as well as anti-inflammatory effect of AP-MSNs from the MN bases. Thus, the PFG/M MN system is a promising clinical candidate for promoting infected wound healing.

Uncontrollable haemorrhage and associated microbial contamination in the battlefield and civilian injuries pose a tremendous threat to healthcare professionals. Such traumatic wounds often necessitate an effective point-of-care solution to prevent the consequent morbidity owing to blood loss or haemorrhage. However, developing superior hemostatic materials with anti-infective properties remains a challenge.

Background: With the rising prevalence of obesity, surgeons are frequently confronted with the problem of treating osteoarthritis of the hip via arthroplasty (total hip arthroplasty) in severely obese patients. To reduce the surgical impact, minimal-invasive approaches are often chosen. For this reason, the direct anterior approach has gained popularity but is suspected of leading to more wound complications in obese patients, especially by Gram-negative pathogens.

Introduction Breast cancer is considered the most common malignant tumor in women, and incidence rates have risen progressively over the last decades. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is an effective treatment option. This research sought to establish the frequency, causes, and distribution of postoperative complications that are associated with MRM in the Pakistani population suffering from breast cancer.

Shoulder abscesses, commonly resulting from bacterial infections, can occasionally present with atypical etiologies and delayed onset. We report a rare case of a massive polymicrobial shoulder abscess developing two decades after an insect bite, emphasizing its clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and surgical management. A 65-year-old female presented with severe, progressively worsening right shoulder pain, a 20 cm swelling, and purulent discharge persisting for 15 days.

Open ankle fractures in the elderly are increasingly common, with significant morbidity and mortality. Management is challenging due to poor soft tissue conditions, comorbidities, and limited functional independence. While traditional surgical options include external fixation or open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), hindfoot nail (HFN) fixation may offer advantages, including immediate weight-bearing and reduced immobilisation complications.
