Reconstruction of massive chest wall defect after malignant chest wall mass excision in resource limited setting, a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Chest wall tumors, rare but impactful, constitute less than 2 % of the population and 5 % of thoracic neoplasms. Wide-margin resection is vital, often causing substantial defects necessitating reconstruction. However, in resource-limited settings like sub-Saharan Africa, access to reconstruction materials is limited.

Comparison of Chest Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging Patterns and Severity among COVID-19 Patients during the First and Fourth Waves in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Background: Studies done globally had shown that chest imaging patterns of Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection varied depending on the strains of the virus and the waves of the pandemic. There is no published literature done in Ethiopia to examine whether there is any difference in chest computed tomography (CT) findings of COVID-19 patients during the first and fourth waves. Thus, this study tries to fill the gap of knowledge in that regard.
