In their recent publication, the authors explored the preventive effect of gentamicin in the irrigating solution on endophthalmitis caused by methicillin-resistant (MRSE) after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in rabbits. This letter commends the authors for their innovative approach and discusses the potential of chitosan-based intraocular lenses as a future solution for reducing the incidence of endophthalmitis. Chitosan's natural antibacterial properties, coupled with its capacity for sustained drug release and surface modification, make it a promising material for IOLs. This letter highlights recent advancements and suggests areas for further research to fully realize the potential of chitosan-based IOLs in ocular surgery.

Rare Coexistence: Giant Cell Tumor Recurrence and Infection in the Proximal Tibia - A Case Report.
J Orthop Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, Apollo sage hospitals, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Introduction: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) ranks among the most prevalent locally aggressive tumor lesions, displaying a diverse range of biological behaviors. Recurrence of GCTB is well-documented, often attributed to microscopic tumour remnants remaining after intralesional curettage, with increased concern when infection occurs postoperatively. Studies suggest the limited effectiveness of adjuvants in preventing giant cell tumour recurrence, emphasizing the necessity of complete removal of malignant cells.

Objective: The presence of microorganisms in a wound may lead to the development of pathologically extensive inflammation, and either delay or prevent the healing of hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds. The aim of this case series is to explore the use of topical gentamicin ointment, an aminoglycoside with activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria, as an option to address hard-to-heal wounds.
Method: We present a retrospective case series of patients with hard-to-heal wounds of varying pathophysiologies treated with topical gentamicin.

Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants previously used for industrial purposes as a non-stick coating and flame retardant. The stability of these molecules prevents their breakdown, which results in ground water contamination across the globe. Perfluoroalkyl substances molecules are known to bioaccumulate in various organisms.
