COVID-19 infections have been widespread in Bangladesh subsequently. We present the example of a 32-year-old Bangladeshi physician who worked in a hospital and was previously involved in collecting swabs for Covid19 patients, During the pandemic, he also traveled to a red-listed country and was continuously negative throughout the period.

Objective: To determine the incidence of abnormal otospongiotic or otosclerotic findings on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) as read by local radiologists in patients with surgically-confirmed otosclerosis. Study design: Retrospective chart review. Setting: Tertiary-referral private otology-neurotology practice. Patients: Adults (>18 years old) with surgically-confirmed otosclerosis between 2012 and 2017 with a HRCT performed preoperatively. Intervention: Preoperative HRCT then stapedotomy. Main outcome measures: Positive identification and location of radiographic otosclerosis as reported by the local radiologist. We then correlated the CT with surgical location as documented at time of surgery. Audiometry, demographic data, intraoperative findings, and surgical technique were secondarily reviewed. Results: Of the 708 stapes surgeries were performed during the study time frame. Preoperative HRCT scans were available for 68 primary stapedotomy surgeries performed in 54 patients. Otosclerosis was reported in 20/68 (29.4%). Following a negative report by the local radiologist, a re-review by the surgeon and/or collaborating neuroradiologist confirmed otosclerosis in 12/48 additional cases (25.0%). There was an overall sensitivity of 47.1%. Intraoperatively, cases with negative reads tended to have more limited localization at the ligament (8.7%) or anterior crus (39.1%), compared with positive reads, which demonstrated more extensive involvement, with bipolar foci (30.0%) or diffuse footplate manifestations (20.0%) more common. Acoustic reflexes were characteristically absent. Conclusions: While HRCT may aid in the diagnosis of otosclerosis and rule out concomitant pathology in certain cases of clinical uncertainty or unexplained symptoms, its sensitivity for otosclerosis remains low. HRCT should not be relied upon to diagnose routine fenestral otosclerosis.

Recently, an argument was put forth because a symptomatic and positive patient for CoVID-19 turned tested negative after 7 days, so discharged from the hospital. Both at the time of admission and discharge real-time reverse transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was done for testing of CoVID-19. Immediately, patient again developed respiratory symptoms and was admitted to hospital again. Amidst of current CoVID-19 pandemic, a question was asked “What is the specificity of the Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test for COVID-19?” with an assumption that what if at the time of discharge the disease is present in patient but test turned out to be negative? In response to that a counter statement was posed that “It is the sensitivity that should be asked rather than specificity”. It was based on the implication of primary question that was implying false negative report of the RT-PCR. It means, since patient was discharged with negative result that could be false negative.

Ripasa Score

Background: Among acute emergencies, the most commonly occurring one is Acute appendicitis. Scoring systems have beendeveloped such as Alvarado and Modified Alvarado Scores. RIPASA Score has a higher sensitivity in the Asian population set.Thus, came about the plan of our examination to try things out with this new score and to check whether it undoubtedly performswellto the undertaking.Objectives To determine the sensitivity, specificity of the 16-point RIPASA scoring system in diagnosing suspected acuteappendicitis and its validationin correlation with histopathology.Material and Methods: The study was carried out in Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar Pakistan from January 2018 to June2018, Department of General Surgery. A total of 322 patients were included in the study. In ED, resident surgeons filled in theRIPASA Score proforma by taking a detailed history and doing a physical examination, and running labs along withultrasonography. The decisionto perform appendectomy was solelytaken bythe senior registrar which was the final decision andthe sample was sent forH/P later on.Results: Of the 322, patients who went through the surgery for acute appendicitis, 188 (58.4%) were male and 134 (41.6%) werefemale, 284(88.2%) had positive histopathology reports and 38 (11.8%) had a negative report. The sensitivity of the RIPASA Scoreat a cut-off value of 8.0 was 97.98%,with the specificity of 77%, and Positive Predictive value of 97.52%,and a Negative PredictiveValue of 86.3%.Conclusion: The clinical implication of RIPASA score is found to be more beneficial than the traditional Alvarado scoring system,thus could bringthe complications rates of appendectomy to significantly lowerfigures.Keywords: Acute Appendicitis,Alvarado Score,RIPASA Score,AsianPopulation, Sensitivity, Specificity
