AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Extended oral prophylactic antibiotics have been increasingly used in arthroplasty with the goal of reducing the risk of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). While a reduction in the rate of PJI has been noted with extended oral antibiotic regimens in high-risk patients, no large database study has assessed infection risk after primary total hip arthroplasty among well-balanced cohorts receiving and not receiving postoperative extended oral antibiotics.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a national database, TriNetX, to identify patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty. This cohort was stratified by oral antibiotic prescription within one day of procedure. A one-to-one propensity score matching based on age, sex, class of obesity, and medical comorbidities was conducted. Outcomes explored in this study were 90-day risk of PJI, superficial skin infection, deep skin infection, and all-cause revision.
Results: 90-day postoperative infection complications of PJI were higher in the group receiving antibiotics (hazard ratio: 1.83, P -value = 0.012). Other complications such as superficial skin infection, deep skin infection, and all-cause revision showed no statistically significant differences.
Conclusion: This database analysis of 5,476 patients demonstrated no decrease in complications of PJI, superficial or deep skin infection, or revision at 90 days. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of extended oral antibiotics.
Level Of Evidence: III.

Background The demand for cosmetic procedures has increased significantly due to their positive effects on self-satisfaction. However, individuals often underestimate the potential complications associated with these procedures, driven by a strong desire for transformation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the Madinah community's awareness of cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery, as well as to assess the risks, complications, and clinical outcomes associated with these procedures.

Context: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death in developing countries like India. Hence, even small relative increases in the mortality rate for infections due to multidrug-resistant pathogens would lead to substantial increases in the number of deaths as a result of infections worldwide.
Aims: The aim of the study was to study the microbiological data of community-acquired pathogens and the corresponding outcomes due to antibiotic-resistant versus antibiotic-susceptible bacterial microorganisms.

Transdermal drug delivery represents a promising avenue for the treatment of dermatologic diseases, such as cutaneous melanoma and skin infections. This study involves the development of a novel therapeutic strategy that employs a skin-penetrating peptide SPACE-modified flexible liposomal chrysomycin A (CA@SPACE-LP) with a particle size of 111.5 nm.

Background: Allogeneic transplant for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia is challenging once there has been iron overload and chronic transfusion support.
Objective(s): A transplant strategy that reduced intensity of the preparative regimen and tailored immunosuppression to both support donor engraftment and prevent GVHD was developed for this population. The combination of a pretransplant immunosuppression phase with reduced dosing of fludarabine/prednisone, treosulfan-based preparative regimen with reduced cyclophosphamide dosing, and introduction of a calcineurin/methotrexate-free GVHD prophylaxis/engraftment supporting regimen with abatacept/sirolimus/ATG was tested.

Fungal skin infections significantly contribute to the global human disease burden, yet our understanding of cutaneous immunity against dermatophytes remains limited. Previously, we developed a model of epicutaneous infection with Microsporum canis in C57BL/6 mice, which highlighted the critical role of IL-17RA signaling in anti-dermatophyte defenses. Here, we expanded our investigation to the human pathogen Nannizzia gypsea and demonstrated that skin γδTCRint and CD8/CD4 double-negative βTCR+ T cells are the principal producers of IL-17A during dermatophytosis.
