INTRA-WOUND VANCOMYCIN POWDER FOR THE ERADICATION OF PERIPROSTHETIC JOINT INFECTION AFTER DEBRIDEMENT AND IMPLANT EXCHANGE: EXPERIMENTAL STUDY IN A RAT MODEL

Fountain Abstract Background Intra-wound vancomycin powder (VP) has been used in clinical practice to prevent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary knee/hip arthroplasty.The role of intra-wound VP in the setting of debridement and implant exchange after PJI remains undefined.This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of intra-

Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, antigenicity concerns continue to linger with emerging mutants.As recent variants have shown decreased reactivity to previously determined monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or sera, monitoring the antigenicity change of circulating mutants is urgently needed for vaccine effectiveness.Currently, antigenic comparison is m

In 2021 and 2022, two predatory flies from the genus Medetera (Diptera: Outdoor Dining Table Dolichopodidae) were recorded in galleries of Ips acuminatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Pinus sylvestris trees in Sredna Gora Mountain in Bulgaria: M.pinicola and M.dendrobaena.These findings appear to Digestive Bitters be the first associations with I.
