DOI: 10.1007/s11748-020-01554-5
Abstract: Objective Intrathoracic negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been introduced as a novel therapeutic device for the management of empyema. NPWT is expected to reduce the empyema cavity more rapidly than standard treatments; however, no objective… read more here.

Abstract: Intracranial empyema is a rare but serious complication of sinusitis in children. Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative syndromes (MMS), including juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), can lead to immunosuppression, thus favouring infections. We report the case of a sphenoid sinogenic… read more here.
