Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare stroke incidences and mortality rates in critically ill COVID-19 patients from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs).
- The results showed that stroke incidence was significantly higher in LMICs (35.7 per 1000 admitted-days) compared to HICs (17.6 per 1000 admitted-days), with patients from LMICs also facing higher mortality rates (43.6% vs. 29.2%).
- The findings highlight the need for better stroke diagnosis and healthcare resource allocation in LMICs, as both higher income status and the presence of stroke are associated with increased risk of death

Purpose Of Review: Microtia, prominent ear, and cryptotia are the most common types of auricular malformations. This review provides updated information on these types of reconstructions, in addition to recalling previously accepted surgical methods.
Recent Findings: Autogenous costal cartilage is still considered as an ideal material for framework fabrication in microtia reconstruction.

During the process of auricular reconstruction in cases of microtia patients with external auditory canals (EAC), bacterial contamination from the EAC can cause cartilage infection. In this article, we retrospectively analyzed the data on bacterial flora present in the EAC of these patients.Preoperatively, in 91 microtia patients, culture samples were obtained, and isolates were tested for in vitro susceptibility to antibiotics.
