Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Depth and Procedure Specific Effects of Antimicrobial Versus Conventional Sutures on Surgical Site Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial sutures may be particularly beneficial in colorectal and abdominal procedures, where reductions in deep SSI may offset the additional suture cost. Several studies also reported favorable wound‐healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications that delay wound healing and increase ...

Haemostatic changes and bleeding with anti‐IL‐6 directed therapy in autoimmune diseases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anti‐IL‐6 directed therapy, especially tocilizumab (TCZ), is widely used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Next to being a master regulator of inflammation, IL‐6 also is an important regulator of haemostasis. Although generally well tolerated,

Perioperative Outcomes in Factor XI Deficiency: A Systematic Review

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Congenital factor XI (FXI) deficiency has a variable bleeding phenotype, and FXI activity alone does not predict perioperative bleeding. Management practices remain heterogeneous, and available evidence derives from case reports, small case series, and retrospective cohorts.
