Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Mimicking a Brain Abscess: Report of a Unique Case.

Sinonasal cancers are rare tumors with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being one of the more common histological subtypes. These carcinomas typically invade the sinus cavity from which they originate, progressively eroding surrounding bony structures and extending to adjacent anatomical regions. In rare instances, they may breach the posterior or superior walls to invade the anterior cranial fossa (ACF) and frontal lobes.

A Prospective Randomized Non-Blinded Study of Safety and Efficacy of Bilastine Up-Dosing (40 mg) Versus Combination of Bilastine 20 mg With Levocetirizine 5 mg in the Treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria.

Introduction: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is the most commonly diagnosed skin condition in dermatology outpatient departments. Second-generation antihistamines are shown to be effective in the control of CSU. As per the guidelines, a combination of antihistamines is less recommended due to the lack of synergistic effect, though used widely.

Outcomes of a non-randomised audit of single pigtail suture stents in urolithiasis management of Asian patients in Singapore.

Objective: Double-J (DJ) ureteric stents are commonly placed perioperatively for semirigid or flexible ureteroscopic renal surgery. It is believed that lesser stent material within the bladder mitigates stent-related symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the J-Fil ureteral stent, a single pigtail suture stent compared with conventional DJ stent in relation to stent symptoms in an Asian population undergoing ureterorenal intervention.

Association between COVID-19 infection and herpes zoster: A case series.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a manifestation of the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection in the dorsal root ganglion. The occurrence of HZ has been reported in association with COVID-19. Herein, we describe 10 cases who developed classic HZ within 2-3 weeks of acquiring COVID-19 infection.
