Better Safe Than Sorry: A Rare Case of a Laryngeal Foreign Body and the Unconventional Use of Cook® Airway.

Foreign body (FB) inhalation in the pediatric population is a common emergency referral in otolaryngology practice. Mismanagement can lead to significant morbidity or even mortality. Anesthesiologists conventionally use the Cook® airway exchange catheter (CAEC) during endotracheal tube exchange in the intensive care unit, but its usage as an oxygen conduit is beneficial in other airway procedures.

Series of isolated sphenoid disease: Often neglected but perilous.

Isolated sphenoid sinus disease (ISSD) is an uncommon entity and may present with non-specific symptoms. As sphenoid sinus is located adjacent to vital structures, a diseased sphenoid sinus can potentially lead to devastating complications such as cranial neuropathies, cavernous sinus thrombosis and intracranial abscess. Herein, we report a case series of three patients who presented with different localization of headache as their main symptom.

Self-reported symptom study of COVID-19 chemosensory dysfunction in Malaysia.

Alterations in the three chemosensory modalities-smell, taste, and chemesthesis-have been implicated in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), yet emerging data suggest a wide geographic and ethnic variation in the prevalence of these symptoms. Studies on chemosensory disorders in COVID-19 have predominantly focused on Caucasian populations whereas Asians remain understudied. We conducted a nationwide, multicentre cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire on a cohort of RT-PCR-confirmed adult COVID-19 patients in Malaysia between 6 June and 30 November 2020.
