Patients with intra-abdominal sepsis suffer from significant mortality and morbidity. The main pillars of treatment for intra-abdominal infections are (1) source control and (2) early delivery of antibiotics. Antibiotic therapy should be started as soon as possible. However, the duration of antibiotics remains a matter of debate. Prolonged antibiotic delivery can lead to increased microbial resistance and the development of nosocomial infections. There has been much research on biomarkers and their ability to aid the decision on when to stop antibiotics. Some of these biomarkers include interleukins, C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). PCT's value as a biomarker has been a focus area of research in recent years. Most studies use either a cut-off value of 0.50 ng/mL or an >80% reduction in PCT levels to determine when to stop antibiotics. This paper performs a literature review and provides a synthesized up-to-date global overview on the value of PCT in managing intra-abdominal infections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the rise of acute care surgery (ACS) as a specialized model of care and the challenges it faces in establishing a universal gold standard for its implementation worldwide. Topics discussed include the proposed ideal characteristics of ACS surgeons, variations in ACS systems globally, and the potential benefits of ACS in reducing time to surgery and complication rates for common conditions.

- Subjects
Brief Report - Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a novel, effective, and safe way to utilize the Erb:YAG laser to clear freckles in Type III/IV Asian skin. DESIGN: This was a prospective study. SETTING: The setting was a Singapore-based clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Participants included five women, aged 25 to 38 years, three with Skin Type III and two with Skin Type IV. All of them had freckles. MEASUREMENTS: Photographs were taken pretreatment and one month after laser treatment. Three independent physicians evaluated the photographs using a grading system. Patients were followed clinically for a total of six months post-laser treatment to monitor for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and recurrence. RESULTS: At one month post-laser treatment, all five patients were evaluated. The three independent physicians agreed that all five patients had greater than 90-percent clearance of their freckles. During the subsequent follow-up visits (up to 6 months post-laser treatment), no post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, or recurrence was seen. CONCLUSION: The Erb:Yag laser might be considered an effective and safe treatment for freckles in Asian patients.

11. The Asian Problem of Frequent Laser Toning for Melasma

Brief Report - Abstract
In recent years, laser toning or laser facial to treat melasma has become increasingly popular in Asia. It is common to see patients undergoing lasers three times a week, or even daily. This is part of a growing trend and is sometimes recommended in the user manuals from laser manufacturers. In our study, we report on 23 Chinese patients who had lasers performed three times a week for two consecutive months, followed by rest. All 23 of them developed bilateral confetti-like hypopigmentation at the end of two months. During the four-month follow-up and rest, 10 patients were lost to follow-up. Of the remaining 13 patients, none of them had repigmentation. We conclude that frequent laser facials or laser toning at regular intervals may result in undesirable outcomes and thus should not be performed in regular intervals.

- Abstract
Objective: To demonstrate a novel low fluence combination laser technique [Erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Erb:YAG) and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG)] to effectively treat solar lentigines in type III Asian skin in a single session., Design: A prospective study., Setting: A Singapore-based clinic., Participants: Five patients (all females) were enrolled into the study. The ages ranged 35-60 years; all patients had Fitzpatrick skin type III., Measurements: Photographs were taken at baseline and at 1-month follow-up. These were reviewed by two independent physicians who were blinded to the study. Changes in pigment severity were assessed by a 5-point scale (1: Aggravation of pigment, 2: No change, 3: 25-50% improvement, 4: 51-75% improvement, and 5: 76-100% improvement)., Results: All patients received a single treatment session. At 1-month follow-up, a reduction in pigment was observed in all patients. Both physicians' reports were independently agreeable. All patients scored 5, having >90% improvement in pigment severity. No hypopigmentation, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or recurrence was seen., Conclusion: Low fluence combination laser is effective and safe for clearance of solar lentigines in type III Asian skin.

- Abstract
Objective: To demonstrate a combination laser therapy to treat Hori's nevus., Design: A prospective study., Setting: A Singapore-based clinic., Participants: Five female patients, aged 30-46 years, with bilateral malar Hori's nevus., Measurements: Photographs were taken before treatment and 1 month after laser treatment was completed. These were graded by three independent physicians. The patients were also asked to grade their treatment response subjectively. They were followed up for a total of 3 months after laser treatment to monitor recurrence., Materials and Methods: The fractional nonablative 2,940-nm Er:YAG laser with a fluence of 0.7 J/cm(2), spot size 12 mm, and frequency 15 Hz was used to perform a full-face single-pass treatment. Subsequently, a second pass and third pass over Hori's nevi were done bilaterally till the clinical endpoint of skin whitening. The 1,064-nm Q-switched (QS) Nd:YAG at a fluence of 2.0 J/cm(2), frequency 2 Hz, and 4-mm spot size was used to deliver multiple passes over Hori's nevus till erythema with mild petechiae appeared. We repeated the treatment once a week for 3 more consecutive weeks., Results: All five patients had above 80% improvement in their pigmentation and two (skin type III) achieved complete 100% clearance. Based on the patients' subjective assessments, all five of them expressed satisfaction and felt that their pigmentation had improved. There were no complications noted., Conclusion: The fractional nonablative 2940 nm Er:YAG laser and Q-switched 1064nm laser Nd:YAG combination is an effective and safe treatment for Hori's nevus.
