Article Abstract
This study, which aimed to assess the results of three different regimens in the treatment of pneumonia, was carried out at the Pediatric Outpatient Department of Capa Children's Hospital in Istanbul on 151 patients aged between 4 months and 14 years. The first group (n = 46) received co-trimoxazole orally for 10 days and the second group (n = 63) procaine penicillin G in intramuscularly for 10 days. Benzathin penicillin G combined with procaine penicillin G was given to the third group (n = 42) as a single dose intramuscularly. While the best results were obtained with penicillin procaine G, no statistically significant difference was found between this regimen and co-trimoxazole therapy (chi 2 = 0.305023 P = 0.5). We suggest that co-trimoxazole is easy to administer and cost effective in the ambulatory treatment of pneumonia in children.

Quantification of Antimicrobial Use on Commercial Broiler Farms in Pakistan.
Animals (Basel)
December 2024
Veterinary Epidemiology Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, Reproduction and Population Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Salisburylaan 133, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium.
Pakistan has a large, intensive broiler production industry, where antimicrobials are extensively used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Monitoring antimicrobial use (AMU) at the farm level is crucial to guide interventions for antimicrobial stewardship. The objective of this study was to comprehensively quantify AMU on commercial broiler farms in Pakistan using different metrics.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 51 rabbits diagnosed with dental disease over a decade to evaluate the outcomes of various treatments and their complications.
- It found that rabbits treated with coronal reduction had no significant complications, while 41% faced issues after dental extractions, like incomplete extractions and 25% struggled with complications from periapical infections.
- The importance of discussing the risk of complications is emphasized, especially since dental disease is a common reason for veterinary care in rabbits, with some cases leading to natural death or euthanasia.
Local anaesthetic to reduce injection pain in patients who are prescribed intramuscular benzathine penicillin G: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Prolonged intramuscular injections of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) are essential for preventing group A streptococcal infections and reducing the risk of rheumatic fever and heart disease, but the pain from these injections may reduce patient compliance.
- * This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of local anaesthetics in reducing pain associated with BPG injections by analyzing randomised controlled trials comparing BPG alone to BPG with anaesthetics.
- * Out of 3958 records, eight trials with 489 patients were included, revealing that while patients reported high levels of immediate pain, some still experienced low-intensity pain 24 hours later.
