Objective: To outline the epidemiological profile of tibial fractures treated in a tertiary hospital and explore associations between the characteristics of the fractures and the clinical outcome of postoperative complications.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study involving adult patients diagnosed with tibial fractures who underwent surgical and/or conservative treatment in a tertiary hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. The variables sex, age, mechanism of injury, type and classification of fracture, associated injuries, personal history, length of hospital stay, surgical treatment, post-surgical complications (infections, loss of synthesis material, surgical wound dehiscence) and death.
Results: The sample consisted of 100 individuals, with an average age of 35.8 years, 86% of whom were male, with a higher prevalence of motorcycle accidents. The most common treatment was intramedullary stem, and type C fractures, which are more complex, were more associated with complications.
Conclusion: Given the predominance of motorcycle accidents involving young people, there is a need for intervention in accident prevention policies, aiming to reduce the incidence, as well as the morbidity and mortality, of these individuals and, consequently, to reduce costs to the health system.

Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii causes nosocomial infections due to a plethora of virulence determinants like biofilm formation which are pivotal to its survival and pathogenicity. Hence, investigation of these mechanisms in currently circulating strains is required for effective infection control and drug development. This study investigates the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and virulence factors and their relationship with biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii strains in Karachi, Pakistan.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management guidelines have increasingly emphasised the importance of exacerbation prevention, and the role of blood eosinophil count (BEC) as a biomarker for inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) response. This study aimed to describe the distribution and stability of BEC and understand real-world treatment patterns among COPD patients in South Korea.
Methods: This was a retrospective database analysis using data obtained from the KOrea COPD Subgroup Study (KOCOSS) registry between January 2012 and August 2018.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to pose significant challenges in healthcare settings due to its multi-drug resistance (MDR) and virulence. This retrospective study examines the molecular and resistance profiles of MRSA isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia, providing valuable insights into regional epidemiology. A total of 190 MRSA strains were analysed to assess antimicrobial susceptibility, genetic diversity, and virulence factors.
