Abstract Historically, intravenous (IV) antibiotics have been the cornerstone of treatment for uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). However, IV antibiotics are expensive, increase the rates of hospital readmission, and can be associated with catheter-related complications. As a result, the potential role of oral antibiotics in the treatment of uncomplicated SAB has become a subject of interest. This narrative review article aims to summarize key arguments for and against the use of oral antibiotics to complete treatment of uncomplicated SAB and evaluates the available evidence for specific oral regimens. We conclude that evidence suggests that oral step-down therapy can be an alternative for select patients who meet the criteria for uncomplicated SAB and will comply with medical treatment and outpatient follow-up. Of the currently studied regimens discussed in this article, linezolid has the most support, followed by fluoroquinolone plus rifampin.

Surgical Practice

Although conservative therapy remains the main treatment for duodenal ulcers, however, 20-30% of patients require surgical treatment. In recent years a new operative method - selective proximal vagotomy - has been introduced into the wide surgical practice of pyloroduodenal ulcers treatment. Its performance is connected with the decision on the surgeon's tactics concerning the ulcerous niche: should it be excised or left?

Infusion System

The role of continuous bupivacaine infusion either into the wound or as a local nerve block, following hand surgery was investigated in 100 patients. After excluding six patients with complex pain problems in whom neither the bupivacaine infusion nor any other conventional analgesic techniques provided adequate analgesia post-operatively, 86 of 94 (91%) patients were adequately treated for post-operative pain by this system during the first night after surgery, when pain is presumed to be greatest. This system also provided adequate on-going analgesia for up to 1 week after surgery controlling nerve pain and allowing mobilization of tendons after tenolysis. Continuous bupivacaine infusion is of particular use in these two groups of patients and after major hand injuries, when considerable pain can be anticipated. Pain during the first night was not controlled adequately by the bupivacaine infusion system in eight of the 94 patients (8%). All eight had a technical failure of the system, which was rectified in six cases to restore adequate analgesia by the infusion system. Two patients developed infection at the infusion cannula insertion site, which occurred only after 1 week and was successfully treated by removal of the cannula and oral antibiotics.
