Summary: This study evaluated the characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of acute postoperative endophthalmitis. It found that intravitreal injections were the leading cause of endophthalmitis, and the primary procedure had no effect on the presentation, management, or visual outcomes of endophthalmitis.

Summary: The study reveals that the neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1 have different effects on different fusion peptide epitopes, which are associated with persistent fractions. By conducting pseudovirus depletion experiments and analyzing the structure of soluble trimers, it is found that glycosylation variation may be the cause of the differences in binding and neutralization effects.

Summary: This study reports a case of delayed-onset M. luteus-induced endophthalmitis that occurred several months after cataract surgery. The case suggests that early vitrectomy and removal of the IOL and lens capsule may be necessary for treatment.

Summary: Cellulomonas biazotea can produce cellulase complex with activities of endoglucanase, exoglucanase, and cellobiase, but their synergistic activities are weak. However, when mixed with recobinant enzyme preparations containing endoglucanase and exoglucanase from another Cellulomonas species, the cellulase activities are significantly increased and show synergistic effects.

Summary: We report a case of postoperative fungal endophthalmitis caused by Wickerhamomyces anomalus. The presence of this yeast was confirmed through multiple surgeries, intravitreal antibiotics, and sample takings. The infection was controlled with a combination of oral antifungal therapy and intraocular lens extraction.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of postoperative administration of oral antibiotics in reducing endophthalmitis incidence following phacoemulsification cataract extraction in dogs. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the rate of post-phacoemulsification endophthalmitis between the group receiving postoperative oral antibiotics and the group not receiving postoperative oral antibiotics.

Summary: A retrospective study in Sweden found that the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE) after immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) was lower compared to unilateral surgeries, but individual risk factors and surgical preparations still need to be considered.

Summary: This study sheds light on the occurrence of cholestatic liver injury and secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) in critically ill COVID-19 patients, with a particular focus on clinical, serological, radiological, and histopathological findings. The development of SSC is found to be a significant complication in critically ill COVID-19 patients, associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and needs to be considered in diagnostic work up for prolonged cholestasis.

Summary: This meta-analysis assesses the impact of intracameral cefuroxime injection as a prophylactic antibiotic on operative wound infection following cataract surgery. The results indicate that intracameral cefuroxime injection significantly reduces the risk of postoperative endophthalmitis compared to no antibiotic treatment.
