Efficacy of universal preoperative decolonization with Polyhexanide in primary joint arthroplasty on surgical site infections. A multicenter before-and after-study

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2020
Background Surgical site infections (SSI) are rare but severe complications after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Decolonization measures prior to elective orthopedic surgeries have shown to reduce the risk of SSI with Staphylococcus aureus (S.

Antibiotics in Veterinary Ophthalmology: Resistance, Stewardship, and Emerging Antibiotic‐Sparing Strategies

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing challenge in veterinary ophthalmology, particularly in cases of bacterial keratitis, where progressive stromal infection can threaten vision and globe integrity within hours to days. This review synthesizes current evidence on pathogen distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, multidrug ...

Waste activated sludge high‐rate treatment of septage: Biodegradability studies and contact phase trials towards a cleaner environment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 2842-2861, June 2026.
Abstract The waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process, developed in our previous study, is used for septic wastewater treatment. This high‐rate contact stabilization pre‐treatment uses typical waste streams found in wastewater treatment plants to reduce a portion of the loadings on the main treatment trains.

S1 Guideline on Infected Interdigital Intertrigo (also called Gram‐Negative Toe Web Infection)

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 832-843, June 2026.
Summary Infected interdigital intertrigo is an exudative, macerating, mixed infection of the toe webs in which gram‐negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacterales) seem prevalent, but in which gram‐positive pathogens (Staphylococcus [S.] aureus, streptococci, enterococci) and fungi (dermatophytes, yeasts) also occur.

Management of Moderate‐to‐Highly Exuding Chronic Leg Ulcers With Superabsorbent Wound Dressings Versus Foams Dressings in Polish Settings: An Early‐Stage Cost‐Effectiveness Evaluation

International Journal of Nursing Practice, Volume 32, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic leg ulcers (CLUs) are complex wounds that often fail to heal within a reasonable timeframe, leading to prolonged morbidity, reduced quality of life and significant healthcare costs. The severity and exudate level of these wounds influence treatment choice and patient outcomes.
