This systematic review summarizes evidence on antibiotic pharmacokinetic alterations caused by obesity and provides guidance for dose adjustment in adult patients (BMI >30 kg/m²). The review found that obesity modestly alters the pharmacokinetics of β-lactam antibiotics (not supporting routine dose adjustments), but significantly impacts aminoglycosides and glycopeptides, for which weight-based dosing is recommended. Overall evidence certainty was low or very low.
This original article quantifies surgical access to the Internal Auditory Canal (IAC) using an exclusively endoscopic transcanal approach (EETA) based on anatomical dissection of temporal bones and subsequent CT analysis. The study successfully achieved access and visualization of the labyrinthine segment of the facial nerve in all specimens. It confirmed that EETA can safely access the entire IAC, maintaining safe distances from key neurovascular structures (carotid artery, jugular bulb, middle fossa), offering a minimally invasive alternative for patients without serviceable hearing who require removal of intrameatal and medial IAC tumors.
The manual details the surgical techniques and principles used in orthognathic surgery, specifically focusing on correcting developmental or acquired skeletal deformities of the face and jaws through osteotomies of the mandible. It covers advancements in fixation methods, instrumentation, and computer-based planning techniques.
