Article Abstract
Background: No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has compared the impact on the resistome of ceftriaxone (CRO) plus azithromycin (AZM) vs CRO for the treatment of (NG).
Methods: This was an open-label, single-center, RCT comparing the effect on the resistome of CRO plus AZM vs CRO for the treatment of NG. Men who have sex with men (MSM) with genital, anorectal, or pharyngeal NG infection were randomized into the CRO/AZM and CRO arms. Oral rinse and anorectal samples were taken for culture and resistome profiling at 2 visits (baseline and day 14). The primary outcome was the ratio of mean macrolide resistance determinants in anorectal samples from day 14 between arms.
Results: Twenty individuals were randomized into the CRO/AZM arm and 22 into the CRO arm. We found no significant difference in the mean macrolide resistance determinants in the day 14 anorectal samples between arms (ratio, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.55-1.83; = .102). The prevalence of baseline macrolide resistance was high (CRO/AZM arm = 95.00%; CRO arm = 90.91%).
Conclusions: We could not demonstrate a significant effect of dual CRO/AZM therapy on the resistome compared with CRO alone, likely due to a high baseline resistance to AZM. Interventions to prevent the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in MSM are needed.

Background and objectives Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is a common anorectal condition affecting a large number of adults worldwide. Lack of standardized outcomes limits treatment decisions in HD. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), directly reported by the patients, offer standardized, patient-centric measures, aiding in HD severity assessment and treatment decisions.

Introduction: Fistula-in-ano is a relatively common benign disease of the anorectal region, which may pose considerable complications in terms of surgery, as this disease has the propensity to recur and may be accompanied by postoperative wound healing. Surgical therapy can be considered the key in the management, and surgery involves fistulectomy or fistulotomy as a part of surgical treatment. Nevertheless, due to the fear of slow healing of the wound and acquiring infection because of common methods, some other methods have been explored, and some have been suggested to be defined as the process of marsupialization, which could allow decreasing the size of the open wound and stimulate its recovery quicker.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupoint embedding for FC by meta-analysis, in order to provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on ACE for FC published from inception to November 2024. The included studies were assessed for quality using the modified Jadad scale, and statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.

Objective: (CT) and (NG) are the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infections globally. Anorectal CT/NG detection among men who have sex with men (MSM) and coinfections is common. Epidemiological studies suggest that CT/NG coinfections might result in greater bacterial load and transmissibility than single infection.
