Association between parental vaccine hesitancy and geographical coverage for childhood vaccination: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between parental vaccine hesitancy and vaccine coverage for all recommended vaccines for children under five years residing in Statistical Areas Level 3 (SA3). SA3 groupings represent clustering groups of smaller areas, such as regional towns and cities or clusters of related suburbs, which share similar regional characteristics, administrative boundaries or labour markets, and generally have populations between 30,000 and 130,000 persons.

Methods: We used parental vaccine hesitancy data from the VBAT (Vaccine Barrier Assessment Tool) study and vaccine coverage by postcode data from the Australian Immunisation Coverage Report 2020/21.

Supraorbital Ethmoid Air Cell - Its Role in Sinonasal Pathologies.

The supraorbital ethmoid air cell (SOEC) is an anatomical variation of the ethmoid air cell system that pneumatizes the orbital plate of the frontal bone. It affects the frontal recess configuration by opening posterior and lateral to the frontal sinus ostium. This cross-sectional observational study includes 100 patients with Supra orbital ethmoid air cells including various pathologies.

Laryngeal Paraganglioma with Neck Metastasis.

Paragangliomas are neoplasms of neural crest cells. They represent less than 1% of head and neck tumors. Laryngeal paragangliomas constitute a smaller fraction of head and neck paragangliomas.

Rare Space Occupying Benign Lesions of the Larynx: Management.

Benign tumors of larynx are broadly classified as epithelial and non-epithelial. The management option depends on the tumor characteristics such as size, location and the extent of the tumor. The treatment opted should be able to remove the tumor in toto without compromising the laryngeal function.
