Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures performed in the United States and is predicted to increase 401% by 2040. Surgical site infections (SSIs) at an incidence rate of approximately 2% are costly post-operative complications in TKA. Intra-operative surgical irrigants are used to decrease contaminating microbial bioburden within the surgical site to prevent SSI. The primary objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of a novel surgical irrigant called XPERIENCE® Advanced Surgical Irrigation (XP; Next Science, Jacksonville, FL) on SSI incidence in primary TKA performed at an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). Patients and Methods: Primary TKAs were performed at a free-standing ASC. The novel surgical irrigant was used intra-operatively to rinse away debris and micro-organisms from the surgical site. Retrospective data collation included SSI rates, complication rates, and re-admissions due to SSI within 90 days of index surgery. Results: Among the 524 primary TKA surgeries, one peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) was diagnosed within 90 days of index surgery and one superficial incisional SSI was diagnosed within 30 days of index surgery. The PJI was attributed to an exogenously acquired upper respiratory tract infection rather than due to the failure of intra-operative regimes. The 0.19% PJI incidence rate indicated significant efficacy of XP in decreasing PJI. An overall complication rate of 7.82% was noted with none of the complications associated with usage of the novel surgical irrigant. Conclusions: XPERIENCE is a promising intra-operative antimicrobial irrigant that can be easily incorporated into a broader infection prevention strategy.
Treating diabetic sepsis (DS) can be challenging because of the persistent infection of multiple organs. To address this complicated pathological condition, it is necessary to develop advanced materials and gain a better understanding of their roles. In this study, we developed a two-dimensional planar material with a rectangular deoxyribonucleic acid origami nanostructure (termed Rec-DON). Rec-DON was used to improve liver and renal function in DS mice, as it preferentially accumulates in these organs, and has superior anti-inflammatory activity and the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species. The role of Rec-DON in the treatment of DS mice was investigated via quantitative proteomics. This study revealed that Rec-DON can regulate key proteins located primarily in the cytoplasm and mitochondrion, involved in protein transport, antigen processing and presentation, and steroid metabolic process, and can also bind to various proteins to restore liver and renal function in DS mice. This study presented Rec-DON as a liver and kidney targeting material and revealed its role in alleviating multiorgan injury in DS.

Chronic wounds impose a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems and result in decreased productivity. Honey possesses diverse properties, rendering it a promising, cost-effective, and efficacious intervention strategy for the management of chronic wounds. However, the findings are controversial. We have presented an updated and comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of honey dressings in the management of chronic wounds. Nine electronic databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies published prior to 22 March 2024. A total of eight studies, including 906 individuals that met the inclusion criteria, were incorporated. The findings demonstrated a significant acceleration in wound healing time with honey dressings (MD = -17.13, 95% CI -26.37 to -7.89, p = 0.0003) and an increase in the percentage of wound healing (MD = 18.31, 95% CI 8.86 to 27.76, p = 0.0001). No statistically significant differences were observed in the healing rate (RR = 2.00, 95% CI 0.78 to 5.10, p = 0.15), clearance time of bacteria (MD = -11.36, 95% CI: -25.91 to 3.18, p = 0.13) and hospital stay duration. Honey may decrease the VAS score but may increase the incidence of painful discomfort during treatment. The topical application of honey is an effective therapeutic approach for managing chronic wounds, but the quality of the evidence was very low due to the quality of risk of bias, inconsistency, and publication bias, highlighting the necessity for larger-scale studies with adequately powered RCTs to ensure the safety and efficacy of honey dressings in chronic wound healing.

Background: Azithromycin is a commonly prescribed antibiotic included in many first-line regimens for pneumonia. Azithromycin also carries an FDA warning for increased risk for abnormal cardiac electrical activity, including QTc prolongation. Objective: To examine the effect of intravenous azithromycin on the QT interval in a cohort of patients receiving antibiotic therapy for community acquired pneumonia. Methods: A single-center, retrospective chart review of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The primary endpoint was change in QTc 48-72 hours after antibiotic initiation. The primary outcome was analyzed using ANOVA matched comparison. Results: Between 6/1/2019 and 3/31/2020, 241 total ICU patients received doses of either antibiotic. After application of exclusion criteria, the total number of patients included in analysis was 93, including 75 azithromycin patient and 18 doxycycline patients. The baseline QTc in the azithromycin group was 449 (95% CI 438-461) and the 72-hour QTc was 442 (95% CI 427-453) with an average change in QTc of -4 ms (P = .14). No statistically significant difference was found in QTc interval change between azithromycin and doxycycline. Conclusion: In this study, azithromycin use was not associated with a statistically significant increase in QTc interval. Based on these results, for the majority of patients receiving azithromycin, QTc prolongation is not likely a major concern. However, caution may still be warranted in patients considered high risk.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether antibiotic treatment of febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) is delayed in febrile infants with respiratory symptoms compared with those without.
STUDY DESIGN: Data of infants 2-24 months of age diagnosed with UTI from March 1, 2012 to May 31, 2023 were collected from our hospital's medical charts and triage records. Patients with known congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract or a history of febrile UTI were excluded. Patients were classified as having respiratory symptoms if they had any of the following symptoms or clinical signs: cough, rhinorrhea, pharyngeal hyperemia and otitis media. Time to first antibiotic treatment from fever onset was compared between patients with and without respiratory symptoms. A Cox regression model was constructed to adjust for potential confounders.
RESULTS: A total of 214 patients were eligible for analysis. The median age of the eligible patients was 5.0 months (interquartile range: 3.0-8.8) and 118 (55%) were male. There were 104 and 110 patients in the respiratory symptom and no respiratory symptom groups, respectively. The time to first antibiotic treatment was significantly longer in the group with respiratory symptoms (51 hours vs. 21 hours). Respiratory symptoms were significantly associated with a longer time to first treatment after adjustment for age and sex in the Cox regression model (hazard ratio = 0.63, 95% confidence interval: 0.47-0.84).
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of febrile UTI infants with respiratory symptoms tends to be delayed. Pediatricians should not exclude febrile UTI even in the presence of respiratory symptoms.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, characterized by progressive loss of lung function. IPF is a disease of advanced age. Preliminary studies of IPF indicate that nutritional status may affect quality of life and prognosis, but the clinical significance of nutritional status has not been investigated. Weight loss is recognized as a common complication of IPF. There is no study that comprehensively evaluates the nutritional status of IPF patients in Turkey. The aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the nutritional status of IPF patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of 3-month dietary counselling. In this study, the nutritional status of IPF patients followed in Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital were comprehensively evaluated. A comprehensive assessment were performed, including nutritional status, anthropometric measurements, body composition, dynamometer, pulmonary function, and several questionnaires. so quality of life were assessed by SGRQ. All measurements were taken at the baseline. Then, tailored dietary counselling were given to the patients and, patients were assessed at the end of the 3-month follow-up period in terms of same parameters.
Many literature reviews or other types of reviews (e.g., meta-analyses, scoping reviews) in deaf education research are focused upon primarily or exclusively research that is performed in U.S. contexts or English-speaking contexts only. However, research that is conducted in non-English-speaking, non-U.S. settings that may be more likely to be multilingual, has value for our understanding of how deaf students using multiple languages may develop literacy skills. The objective of this review was to explore the literature on literacy development with deaf learners conducted outside of English-speaking contexts that has been published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. We identified 13 English-language articles, 9 Portuguese-language articles, and 0 Spanish articles that met inclusion criteria. From these articles, we glean important insights into the reading process, including the teaching of subskills of reading, writing instruction, early literacy experiences, and the potential relationship between signed languages and literacy. We also note the need for multiple, converging sources of evidence and the value of an asset-driven approach to understanding deaf learners.
Liposomes termed as small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs), can be synthesized in the 20-50 nm size range, but encounter challenges such as instability and aggregation leading to inter- particle fusion. This limits their use as a therapeutic delivery agent. Increasing the surface negative charge of SUVs, via the attachment of anionic entities such as DNA/RNA, increases the colloidal stability of these vesicles. Additionally, the dense spherical arrangement and radial orientation of nucleic acids exhibits unique chemical and biological properties, unlike their linear counterparts. These liposomal particles, are non-toxic and though anionic, can efficiently enter cells without the aid of ancillary cationic transfection agents in a non-immunogenic fashion. These exceptional properties allow their use as delivery agents for gene regulation in different therapies and offer an alternative platform to metal core spherical nucleic acids.
PURPOSE: To this day there is no consensus regarding evidence of usefulness of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM). Randomized controlled trials have not been performed in the past mainly because of difficulties in recruitment control subjects. In this study, we propose the use of Bayesian Networks to assess evidence in IONM.
METHODS: Single center retrospective study from January 2020 to January 2022. Patients admitted for cranial neurosurgery with intraoperative neuromonitoring were enrolled. We built a Bayesian Network with utility calculation using expert domain knowledge based on logistic regression as potential causal inference between events in surgery that could lead to central nervous system injury and postoperative neurological function.
RESULTS: A total of 267 patients were included in the study: 198 (73.9%) underwent neuro-oncology surgery and 69 (26.1%) neurovascular surgery. 50.7% of patients were female while 49.3% were male. Using the Bayesian Network´s original state probabilities, we found that among patients who presented with a reversible signal change that was acted upon, 59% of patients would wake up with no new neurological deficits, 33% with a transitory deficit and 8% with a permanent deficit. If the signal change was permanent, in 16% of the patients the deficit would be transitory and in 51% it would be permanent. 33% of patients would wake up with no new postoperative deficit. Our network also shows that utility increases when corrective actions are taken to revert a signal change.
CONCLUSIONS: Bayesian Networks are an effective way to audit clinical practice within IONM. We have found that IONM warnings can serve to prevent neurological deficits in patients, especially when corrective surgical action is taken to attempt to revert signals changes back to baseline properties. We show that Bayesian Networks could be used as a mathematical tool to calculate the utility of conducting IONM, which could save costs in healthcare when performed.
In preclinical studies, mirtazapine acts as an antagonist at α 2-adrenergic inhibitory autoreceptors and heteroreceptors and as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT 2 and 5-HT 3 receptors. Mirtazapine has no significant affinity for the 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 1B receptors. 

Mirtazapine also acts as an antagonist of histamine (H 1) receptors, peripheral α 1-adrenergic receptors, and muscarinic receptors. Actions at these receptors may explain some of the other clinical effects of mirtazapine (e.g., its prominent somnolent effects and orthostatic hypotension may be explained by its inhibition of histamine (H 1) receptors and peripheral α 1-adrenergic receptors, respectively). 

Cardiac Electrophysiology   
The effect of mirtazapine on QTc interval was assessed in healthy subjects. At a dose of 75 mg (1.67 times the maximum recommended dosage), mirtazapine does not prolong the QTc interval to a clinically meaningful extent.
