Introduction: The outbreak of coronavirus diseases 2019 (Covid-19) caused by SARS-COV-2 which started in Wuhan china led to an alarming level of spread and severity. In Nepal, the first case of COVID-19 was reported on 23.1.2020 and has become a global health crisis since then. The clinical presentation and outcome of patients with COVID-19 have been variable in different countries and therefore it is important to analyze as well as document the clinical behaviors of this disease in the local population so we have reported the clinic-epidemiological profile, outcome, and its association with conjunctivitis during the second wave of this pandemic which hit Nepal badly hoping this study will be helpful to tackle the future surges of COVID-19 as well. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single-center study where the data regarding epidemiology, demography, common clinical presentation as well as management and outcome of COVID-19 Patients were retracted and analyzed. Results: A total of 238 COVID-Positive patients were admitted out of which 60% were male and 39.9% people belonged to Dang valley itself with dyspnea (67.2%) was the commonest symptoms followed by fever in 59.7% of patients. Out of these patients 9 patients presented with ocular symptom conjunctivitis. Conclusions: Mild conjunctivitis manifesting as conjunctival congestion is common and one of the major ocular manifestations in COVID -19 positive patients.

Purpose: To report the clinical presentation (systemic and ocular) of hydroa vacciniforme in a Black South African child. Methods: Case report. Results: A 14-year-old Black boy was seen at the corneal service with cutaneous erosions, varioliform scarring, corneal scarring, cicatricial conjunctivitis and central crystalline corneal opacity. Conclusion: We report the first case in the literature of ocular hydroa vacciniforme in a young Black South Africa boy.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of primary and revision total joint arthroplasties (TJA/rTJA) in 2020 compared to 2019. Specifically, the first and the second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic were evaluated as well as the pre-operative COVID-19 test. A cross-sectional single-center study of our prospectively maintained institutional arthroplasty registry was performed. The first COVID-19 wave and the second COVID-19 wave led to a socioeconomic lockdown in 2020. Performed surgeries, cause of revision, age, gender, and American Society of Anesthesiologists-level were analyzed. Preoperative COVID-19 testing was evaluated and nationwide COVID-19 data were compared to other countries. In 2020, there was a decrease by 16.2% in primary and revision TJAs of the hip and knee compared to 2019. We observed a reduction of 15.8% in primary TJAs and a reduction of 18.6% on rTJAs in 2020 compared to 2019. There is an incline in total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and a decline in total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) comparing 2019 to 2020. During the first wave, there was a reduction in performed primary TJAs of 86%. During the second wave, no changes were observed. This is the first study quantifying the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on primary and revision TJAs regarding the first and second wave.

The healthcare system has been placed under an enormous burden by the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. In addition to the challenge of providing sufficient care for COVID-19 patients, there is also a need to ensure adequate care for non-COVID-19 patients. We investigated neurosurgical care in a university hospital during the pandemic. We examined the second wave of the pandemic from 1 October 2020 to 15 March 2021 in this retrospective single-center study and compared it to a pre-pandemic period from 1 October 2019 to 15 March 2020. Any neurosurgical intervention, along with patient- and treatment-dependent factors, were recorded. We also examined perioperative complications and unplanned readmissions. A statistical comparison of the study groups was performed. We treated 535 patients with a total of 602 neurosurgical surgeries during the pandemic. This compares to 602 patients with 717 surgeries during the pre-pandemic period. There were 67 fewer patients (reduction to 88.87%) admitted and 115 fewer surgeries (reduction to 83.96%) performed, which were essentially highly elective procedures, such as cervical spinal stenosis, intracranial neurinomas, and peripheral nerve lesions. Regarding complication rates and unplanned readmissions, there was no significant difference between the COVID-19 pandemic and the non-pandemic patient group. Operative capacities were slightly reduced to 88% due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, comprehensive emergency and elective care was guaranteed in our university hospital. This speaks for the sufficient resources and high-quality processes that existed even before the pandemic.
