Paranasal sinus osteomas are slowly growing and frequently asymptomatic benign tumors. Surgery is the treatment method, and the approach may vary according to many factors about the tumor. The prominent locations of tumors were in the frontal sinuses, and in the ethmoid sinus. The most common complaint was a headache. The diagnosis was made by paranasal computed tomography in all patients. This report describes the approach to mananging osteoma in the paranasal region in 13 patients. Information on demographic features, the clinical presentation of the cases, radiographical outcomes, and surgical procedures were gathered and analyzed. Five patients were operated on endoscopic technique, six with osteoplastic flap technique and two with a combined approach. Symptomatic osteomas require surgery. The surgery considers the localization, size of the lesion, and the experience of the surgeon.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure and risk of contracting coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), among healthcare workers (HCWs) at a tertiary hospital early in the pandemic. Materials and Methods: HCWs who presented at an occupational health outpatient clinic for COVID-19 contact tracing or assessment before returning to work between March 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020 were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. The dependent variable used was a COVID-19 diagnosis;the independent variables used were gender, marital status, age, occupation, smoking, presence of chronic disease, symptoms of COVID-19, source of contact, risk classification, and work in a COVID-19 unit. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with the risk of COVID-19 and sources of infection. Results: A total of 603 HCWs presented at the clinic during the study period. The most frequent sources of contact with SARS-CoV-2 were infected co-workers (50.7%) and patients at work (28.2%), followed by household contacts (9.9%). Those who worked in a COVID-19 unit had a 3.55 times greater risk of a COVID-19 diagnosis than other HCWs when adjusted for age, gender, and risk classification. Conclusion: HCWs frequently face exposure to potential infection. Sufficient support for these workers to ensure adequate awareness of and compliance with protocols is of critical importance to protect public health. The results of this study also suggest consideration of the possibility of another source of contact for HCWs included in the no risk category. Regular screening for COVID-19 may be advisable.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors, clinical findings, treatment methods and short-term outcomes of infants born to mothers with COVID-19 infection and infants with COVID-19 infection. Materials and Methods: Data of infants born to mothers with COVID-19 infection and infants with COVID-19 infection treated in our Newborn Intensive Care Unit between 1 March 2020 and 1 April 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 60 newborns were included in the study. Of these, 46 were born to mothers with COVID-19 infection, the gestational week was 36.8 +/- 3.3 weeks, 28 were girls. All newborns born to mothers with COVID-19 tested negative for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The premature birth rate was 30%, the low birth weight rate was 19.4%, maternal mortality was 8.7% and neonatal mortality was 2.2%. 14 of the infants included in the study had community-acquired COVID-19 infection, the gestational age was 38.9 +/- 0.9 weeks, 6 of them were girls. The most frequent clinical findings were fever and runny nasal discharge. Most neonates in both groups were formula-fed (65.2% vs. 64.3%, respectively). Conclusion: We found that pregnant women with COVID-19 infection had a higher maternal mortality rate, preterm birth, and caesarean section. Families should be informed and encouraged about breast milk and breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
