Abstract: Neonatal varicella is a rare but potentially severe infection acquired perinatally, particularly when maternal varicella occurs near delivery. We present a case of a 19-day-old term neonate with vesicular rash following maternal varicella in the peripartum period. Early diagnosis, intravenous acyclovir, and supportive care led to a favourable outcome. This case reinforces the importance of maternal immunization and timely neonatal intervention.

Abstract: The use of technology in the healthcare industry has had a profound effect on the operations of hospitals, with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) being the core in the achievement of efficiency and quality in healthcare delivery. However, the success of technology in healthcare delivery largely depends on the acceptance and perception of the users. This study sought to establish the effect of the adoption of Hospital Information Systems and the perception...

Abstract: Osteoid osteomas are small, benign, osteogenic bone lesions, most commonly found in the proximal femur of individuals aged 5–25 years. They characteristically present with night pain relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and a radiographic nidus <1.5 cm. However, their occurrence at a previous fracture site....

Abstract: Purpose: Report a young adult with branch retinal vein occlusion associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. Methods: Case report of a 35-year-old male with clinical examination, OCT, laboratory evaluation, treatment, and follow-up. Results: Left superotemporal BRVO with cystoid macular edema (CMT 528 μm) and elevated homocysteine (37.04 μmol/L). Following intravitreal ranibizumab, OCT showed resolution of cystoid edema and CMT decreased to 352 μm.
Conclusions: Young patients with BRVO should be evaluated for thrombophilia, including hyperhomocysteinemia....

Abstract: Background: Preoperative overnight fasting has traditionally been practiced to reduce pulmonary aspiration during general anaesthesia but may lead to patient discomfort, dehydration, and insulin resistance. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines recommend clear carbohydrate drinks up to 2 hours before surgery. This study evaluated the effect of preoperative carbohydrate loading on gastric contents using point-of-care gastric ultrasonography...
