Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) still continue to be a major public health problem globally, affecting the quality of life as well as causing serious morbidity and mortality. STIs have a direct and significant impact on reproductive and child health. They can directly cause infertility, cancers as well as pregnancy complications, and indirectly affects individual economies. The information on the number of PW found to be sero positive for Syphilis among women attending antenatal care in India and number of babies diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis is collected from HMIS electronic records of MoHFW, Government of India with key objective to know about the impact of covid-19 era i.e., 2020 and 2021 on prevalence of syphilis by comparing it with the pre pandemic era of 2018 and 2019.

 Skin Cancer: Attitudes and Behaviors Among Adolescents for Sun Protection Sun exposure during childhood and adolescence is an important risk factor for all skin cancers. Sunlight stimulates a multitude of important biological effects on skin, causing, amongst other pathological and carcinogenesis changes. This study was performed to evaluate the knowledge and behaviors among adolescence about the effect of sun`s exposure as a cause of skin cancer. Material and Methods: In this study, subjects between 14 to 19 years of age were recruited from the high schools in Tirana Albania.

 Case Review: Diversified Wound Management with A Dual-Purpose Wound Occluding Honey Based Ointment The correct and effective management of wounds remains challenging within the wound care discipline even though much effort and attention has been directed toward novel technologies and advanced approaches. As wound healing takes place in four stages, the selection of the appropriate treatment, depending on the respective stage on the patients’ wound, is crucial. In addition, identifying the type of wound might be difficult in some cases, which in combination with the aforementioned further complicates appropriate wound management. This article discusses a single product wound management, by means of case studies, in an attempt to describe a simplified and possibly cost-effective way to manage wounds effectively. The efficient and proper management of wounds remains a clinical problem, frequently causing morbidity and mortality due initial and delayed complications. Consequently, a subst

 Application of Mohs Technique for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Nipple Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nipple areolar complex (NAC) is a rare entity with only a few cases reported in the medical literature. The standard treatment for invasive squamous cell carcinoma includes complete surgical excision of the lesion with postoperative assessment of free margins. Although this skin cancer involves the NAC it should be considered as a completely separate entity from other breast cancers, and therefore may be treated differently than breast cancers involving the NAC. Mohs micrographic surgery is a well-accepted technique for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) with its remarkable precision for tumor eradication and tissue-sparing properties which favor excellent aesthetic outcome. We present a clinical case of 75-year-old Caucasian female who presented to our clinic with a papulose, scaly lesion located at her right nipple that was confirmed to be SCC of the nipple. The patie

 Double-Advance Technique for the Closure of Inferior Cleft Lip The Objective is present a case of a medial cleft of the lower lip with associated ankyloglossia and a proposal for a double-advance local flap technique for its closure who attended the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Madre Rafols Hospital, Venezuela. A 4-month-old female patient, presenting a medial cleft of the lower lip with an associated aberrant frenulum of the tongue causing ankyloglossia (Tessier 30). Lingual frenectomy and primary cheiloplasty were performed with a double-advance local flap technique to close the lower labial cleft. A wedge-shaped incision along the labial cleft, with lateral extensions towards the mentolabial sulcus extending bilaterally were performed in order to advance both flaps and place the wound at the limit of the esthetic subunit, as well as a Z-plasty in the vermilion of the lower lip. Postoperative follow-ups did not reveal local complications or tissue dehiscence. Due to

 The Use of Contralateral Autologous Breast Grafting Tissue In Breast Reconstruction: A New Approach Breast reconstruction surgery is an exceptionally important tool for repair of defects and asymmetries caused by the various types of surgical breast cancer treatment. Reconstruction is indicated regardless of lesion location in the breast when a quadrantectomy or sector resection has been performed. Although several surgical techniques are available for reconstruction, we propose a method based on contralateral breast graft replacement to preserve shape and symmetry.  This quasi-experimental study was performed with a sample of 42 women who had undergone quadrantectomy or wide resection, followed by radiation therapy, for treatment of breast cancer. The outcomes of interest were breast aesthetics and symmetry in the immediate postoperative period and after 3 months of radiation therapy. All patients were photographed preoperatively, pre-radiation therapy, and 3 months post radiation th

 Intraosseous Skull Cavernous Hemangiomas: Case Report Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas (PICHs) is a rare hemangioma in the skull. The diagnosis and treatment need to be coordinated by related specialties, in which the gold standard for diagnosis is histopathology. The clinical case is a 72-year-old male patient with a parietal frontal hemangioma originating in the skull, which is an intracranial cavernous hemangioma.   Treatment was consisted of vascular intervention, total cranioplasty, covering with an artificial material and a skin flap. The patient underwent 3 surgeries to remove the tumor, the second time the pathological result was a cavernous hemangioma of the skull. Hemangiomas are benign soft tissue tumors, usually in the skin of newborns and children. Hemangiomas may appear in other tissue including muscle, tendon, connective tissue, fatty tissue, synovial fluid, or bone1 . Hemangiomas are histologically classified on the basis of vascular channels including capill
