🌍 Partnering with Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery: Tackling AMR as a Sustainability Challenge Antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) is not just a health issue—it’s a sustainability challenge. Science has begun to uncover the remarkable potential within us—our innate ability to adapt and respond to global challenges. However, addressing AMR (or any global agenda) as a sustainable issue requires nuanced thinking. Why have previous agendas often failed in the past? What truly makes an issue sustainable? And could shifting the focus toward resilience make a difference?

The AI-driven discovery of innate antimicrobial defenses is a groundbreaking step in addressing antibiotic resistance, leveraging ancient molecules from human ancestors to develop new treatments. This highlights the value of harnessing evolutionary biology and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary, global approach to sustainable infection management.

Cornea Update: Overview of Mycotic Keratitis: Abstract: Keratomycosis is a serious corneal infection associated with high ocular morbidity that can lead to severe vision loss. It is estimated to affect more than 1 million patients annually, most commonly occurring in tropical climates, and represents a growing threat to patients worldwide. Despite aggressive medical management, fungal infections have a higher rate of perforation requiring surgical intervention compared with other infectious etiologies. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are keys to preserving vision and saving patients' eyes. http://dlvr.it/T6xkBM #Cornea #Ophthalmology #Ophthotwitter

How can a material used in movie prosthetics help fight hospital infections? Graduate students Majed Othman Althumayri & Azra Yaprak Tarman alongside #TAMUbme faculty have found a way. 🦾 Using Ecoflex, a silicone rubber, Althumayri and Tarman created lifelike skin replicas to study bacterial infections from intravenous catheters, opening new doors for safer medical devices and improved infection control. “Developing realistic skin models that can mimic the human skin is an important initial step, but we think that incorporating additional elements, like body fluids and other clinically relevant situations, in future experiments will bolster our findings and further validate Ecoflex’s potential for medical applications.” said #TAMUbme Dr. Hatice Ceylan Koydemir Learn more at http://tx.ag/BMENEcoflex

It's World AMR Awareness week! Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a growing global health challenge, largely driven by overuse of prophylactic antibiotics in surgery. XPERIENCE; a novel surgical irrigation solution, offers a way to reduce this reliance while improving patient safety. #winwin XPERIENCE works by disrupting biofilm formation at the surgical site, helping to clear contaminants and reduce infection risk. This enhanced irrigation process lowers the potential reliance on antibiotics and curbing AMR. The result? Better infection control, fewer complications, and faster recovery. Let’s embrace solutions that fight AMR and improve surgical care!

https://lnkd.in/diRtJT86 Title: Successful Second Total Knee Replacement After Infection | Review | Dr. Rahul Description: In this video, Dr. Rahul Modi discusses a challenging case involving a patient who had to undergo a second total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. 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. The testimonial highlights the effective treatment, compassionate care, and the remarkable recovery his father achieved. Dr. Rahul performed these essential surgeries to address the infection and ensure a successful outcome. Don’t let fear hold you back!

Infection transmission in healthcare facilities is a growing concern worldwide. Patients receiving medical care in healthcare facilities can get serious infections called healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). People can get HAIs during or after procedures like surgery, or from devices like catheters or ventilators. Sometimes these infections can be caused by antimicrobial-resistant germs. People can also enter healthcare facilities with infections from the community or from another healthcare facility. When transferred, these germs could spread without appropriate infection control measures. With continuous sanitisation, our lights can help reduce the risk of HAIs as their microbicidal light is effective on all bacteria and viruses.
