A Review of Clinical Practice Guidelines and Treatment Recommendations for Cancer Care in the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has inevitably caused those involved in cancer care to change clinical practice in order to minimize the risk of infection while maintaining cancer treatment as a priority. General advice during the pandemic suggests that most patients continue with ongoing therapies or planned surgeries, while follow-up visits may instead be delayed until the resolution of the outbreak. We conducted a literature search using PubMed to identify articles published in English language that reported on care recommendations for cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic from its inception up to 1st June 2020, using the terms "(cancer or tumor) AND (COVID 19)".

An unusual case of acute periorbital swelling.

Periorbital swelling is frequently encountered in ear, nose, and throat practices and, as it may be secondary to acute sinusitis, delayed diagnosis may lead to significant morbidity. We describe the case of a 24-year-old man with acute ethmoid-maxillary sinusitis and ipsilateral facial swelling particularly involving the periorbital area. We also discuss the workup that led to the formulation of an unusual diagnosis.

Head-to-head comparison of single-breath and tidal-breath exhaled nitric oxide measurements.

Background: Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is an endogenous gas involved in airway pathophysiology and is determined in orally exhaled air by various techniques. However, traditional single-breath technique (eNO(SB)) requires active cooperation and is not always easily practicable (especially in young children); simpler techniques including tidal breathing measurements (eNO(TB)) are not standardized. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible correlation and correspondence between eNO(SB) and eNO(TB) and the impact of potential confounders in children with chronic adenotonsillar disease.

Fat injections for the management of post-parotidectomy Frey syndrome: a technical note.

Purpose: Frey syndrome (profuse sweating and cutaneous flushing in the area innervated by the auriculotemporal nerve) is a frequent and unpleasant complication of parotidectomy. Fat injections may be useful in preventing the abnormal nerve neo-anastomoses sprouting to the sweat glands that are responsible for gustatory sweating, but have never been used before.

Material And Methods: We describe the use of fat injections into the parotid gland of four patients with post-parotidectomy Frey syndrome.
