When TB affects the bones of the hands and feet, it can present a diagnostic labyrinth for clinicians. In such cases, the differential diagnosis may include Jungling's bone disease, adding complexity to the diagnostic process.

Polycyclic fused indoles are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals due to their immense structural diversity and biological inference, making them suitable for charting broader chemical space. Indole-based polycycles continue to be fascinating as well as challenging targets for synthetic fabrication because of their characteristic structural frameworks possessing biologically intriguing compounds of both natural and synthetic origin. As a result, an assortment of new chemical processes and catalytic routes has been established to provide unified access to these skeletons in a very efficient and selective manner.

Tracheal intubation of a patient with COVID-19 is a high-risk procedure for not only the patient, but all healthcare workers involved, leading to an understandable degree of staff anxiety. We used simulation to help train airway managers to intubate patients with COVID-19. Based on action cards developed by our department, we designed a series of scenarios to simulate airway management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management of the difficult airway is integral to peri-operative practice. The development of devices to simplify airway handling are changing our approach to tracheal intubation. We report a case series of three patients who underwent awake tracheal intubation with the ProVu™ video stylet (Flexicare Medical Ltd, Mountain Ash, UK).
