Analog and Digital Protocols for Functional Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Post-COVID-19 Rhino-Orbito Cerebral Mucormycosis Maxillofacial Defects: A Case Series.

The current study aims to present our clinical observations and experience gathered during the diagnosis, clinical presentation, medical/surgical treatment, and functional prosthetic rehabilitation of cases of rhino-orbital/cerebral Mucormycosis patients. Mucormycosis is an aggressive, life-threatening invasive fungal infection that occurs in people who are immune-compromised. The rise of ROCM during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India suggests a more effective association between Mucormycosis and the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant.

Gender Affirming Laryngeal and Voice Surgery.

Gender affirmation laryngeal and voice surgeries are components of "voice-lift" or cosmetic voice surgeries. Feminization surgery can modify vocal folds (fundamental frequency [Fo]) and vocal tract (resonance frequency). For increased pitch, vocal folds should be shorter, thinner, and tighter.

Prevalence of Voice Disorders in School Teachers in a District in South India.

Background: Many professions tend to carry inherent risks for the practitioners. In such cases, it becomes mandatory for them to be aware of the risks and counselled about the preventive measures. The inevitable first step, however, is to ascertain the burden of risk.

Deep neck space abscesses in children below 5 years of age and their complications.

Objectives: To study the outcomes and complications of deep neck space abscesses in children less than 5 years of age over a period of 15 years.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of children less than 5 years of age with deep neck space abscesses over a 15-year period was conducted at a tertiary care centre in India. Patients were evaluated with respect to the clinical, radiological and laboratory findings.

The efficacy of sirolimus in the treatment of patients with refractory uveitis.

Aims: To determine the efficacy of sirolimus in the treatment of patients with severe non-infectious uveitis.

Methods: Eight patients with severe non-infectious uveitis were recruited to an open study. Inclusion criteria were limited to patients whose disease was not controlled with at least two or more separate steroid sparing immunosuppressants (either because of unacceptable side effects or ineffectiveness of the drug) or who required regular doses of corticosteroids either as high dose systemic or orbital floor injections in order to control their disease.

Infliximab in the treatment of refractory posterior uveitis.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of infliximab in the treatment of refractory posterior uveitis.

Design: Noncomparative interventional case series.

Participants: Five patients with posterior uveitis were treated: 3 had Behçet's syndrome, and 2 had idiopathic posterior uveitis.
