Benign Lymphoepithelial Cyst of Parotid Glands in HIV Infected Patients on Anti-Retroviral Therapy: A Narrative Review.

Human immunodeficiency virus-associated salivary gland disease is a complication seen in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), with the commonest manifestation being the benign lymphoepithelial cyst (BLEC). The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Human Immune Virus-infected patients with confirmed benign lymphoepithelial cysts of the parotid gland. The review was conducted between August 2020 and December 2021 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines.

Prevalence of Olfactory Dysfuntion in SARS-COV-2 Positive Patients.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is associated with chemosensory symptoms including olfactory dysfunction and dysgeusia. Multiple studies have reported differing prevalence rates of symptoms and recovery rates depending on geographic location. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence and features of Covid19 olfactory dysfunction in a developing nation.

Myosteatosis, the More Significant Predictor of Outcome: An Analysis of the Impact of Myosteatosis, Sarcopenia, and Sarcopenic Obesity on Liver Transplant Outcomes in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Objectives: In high-income countries, myosteatosis, sarcopenia, and obesity with sarcopenia (sarcopenic obesity) are associated with adverse outcomes after liver transplantation. In South Africa, an upper-middleincome country, we investigated the prevalence and impact of these muscle abnormalities on posttransplant outcomes in adult liver transplant recipients.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed 106 liver transplant recipients and measured muscle abnormalities on computed tomography using segmentation software.

Otologic dysfunction in patients with COVID-19: A systematic review.

Objective: To describe otologic dysfunction in patients with the novel SARS-CoV-2.

Review Methods: Search strategies acquired for each database included keywords. The keywords use were-Otologic OR Vestibular OR Audiologic and COVID-19 OR Coronavirus OR SARS-CoV-2.

Deep Neck Space Infection in HIV-Infected Children: A Case Series.

Background Deep neck space infections (DNSIs) in children may lead to airway compromise and damage to the great vessels in the neck. They occur more commonly in the HIV-infected population. To our knowledge, this is the first case series of DNSI in HIV-infected children Objectives The aim of this study was to describe the demography and document the sites of infection; organisms identified and resistance patterns in HIV-infected children with DNSI.

Congenital Inner Ear Abnormalities and COVID-19-Related Ear Infections.

Congenital deformities of the labyrinth of the inner ear may be associated with an increased risk of infection and varying degrees of otologic and vestibular dysfunction. Lateral semicircular canal abnormalities specifically can be associated with either normal hearing or hearing loss (conductive or sensorineural). In our patient, the acute symptoms of vertigo and tinnitus coincided with the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Tonsil histopathology in HIV-infected versus HIV-uninfected adults.

Background: The relationship between HIV and tonsil malignancy has not been fully investigated and established. Both of these diseases prominently feature in the Otorhinolaryngology clinics.

Objective: There is minimal data available on the histopathology of tonsillectomy specimens in the HIV-infected population.

How microsurgery can assist in tubal reconstruction.

Despite the fact that gynecologists were very early users of the operating microscope to observe the possible pathology of the cervical mucosa by brilliant lighting and magnification, the advent of in vitro fertilization (IVF) seems to have stopped this specialty from using the benefits of microsurgery in female tubal reconstruction. Now having performed and followed up for at least 2 years nearly 1000 microsurgical tubal reconstructions after sterilizations, with an endpoint being the birth of a baby in the time following, it is obvious that there are real benefits in pursuing these techniques, because no single IVF Unit in the world gets even half as many live birth results from their best practices. Apart from a genuine 82.

The frequency and profile of neurology in black South African HIV infected (clade C) patients - a hospital-based prospective audit.

Aim: To determine the frequency and spectrum of neurological illnesses in Black South African hospital-based HIV infected (clade C) patients.

Method: A prospective audit of 506 consecutive HIV infected medical inpatients at the Helen Joseph Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Results: The patients had a mean age of 37 years; a male:female ratio of 1.
