The patient experienced an infection from the first surgery, which required a comprehensive and strategic approach to ensure a successful outcome. 👨⚕️ Case Overview: The patient initially underwent TKR but unfortunately developed an infection, complicating the recovery process. Dr. Rahul Modi explains the two crucial surgeries involved in addressing this issue: Stage 1: Infection Removal Antibiotic Therapy: The first stage involves using antibiotics to control the infection, which typically takes around 2 months. This crucial step helps in managing and clearing the infection effectively. Stage 2: Replacement Surgery Cement Spacer Removal: In the second stage, the cement spacer used during the infection control phase is removed. New Knee Implant: A new, infection-free knee joint implant is then placed. Thanks to this careful approach, patients can start moving around from the day after surgery. 💬 Patient's Journey: This video includes a heartfelt testimonial from the patient’s son, who shares the positive experience and successful outcome of his father's second TKR surgery with Dr. Rahul Modi.

Instructions for Use (IFUs) guide healthcare workers on how to properly clean, high-level disinfect, and sterilize reusable medical devices, such as surgical instruments and endoscopes. IFUs are often vague, confusing, or unnecessarily complicated. It is encouraging to see the Infection Control world calling for manufacturers to standardize and simplify IFUs, to improve cleaning and disinfection compliance and efficiency. This is important work for patient safety. I interpret IFUs often in my role, and would be happy to see a change!

🗞️ CURRENT ISSUE 🗞️ Original Article Is Joint Aspiration to Rule Out Prosthetic Joint Infection Required Before Every Revision Joint Arthroplasty? Validation of Institutional Criteria using the New European Bone and Joint Infection Society definition 🦠 The authors' institutional criteria for preoperative arthrocentesis to exclude periprosthetic joint infections demonstrated very high sensitivity and negative predictive value, to correctly identify those patients at risk of having PJI while avoiding a significant number of unnecessary procedures in patients with low risk of PJI. 📚 These criteria were validated even when the EBJIS PJI definition was used, which is at the high end of the sensitivity spectrum. The team led by @Ricardo Sousa MD. PhD present a diagnostic workup that may be considered to improve sensitivity and cost-usefulness in PJI detection.

Understanding the timeline of HBV serologic markers is crucial for lab professionals in diagnosing and managing Hepatitis B infections. The image provides a clear visual of when different markers such as HBsAg, HBeAg, Anti-HBcAb, and Anti-HBsAb appear during the infection. This knowledge aids in identifying the infection phase and making informed decisions regarding patient care. Keeping this timeline in mind can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Let's continue to sharpen our skills in interpreting these essential markers! #MedicalLabScience #HepatitisB #Serology #LabProfessionals #InfectiousDisease
