    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not only a great matter of concern from a medical and health perspective, but it is a serious threat to the environment in terms of waste generated during the prevention and cure of COVID-19. The world has so far compromised more than 3 million human lives, and millions are being infected. Environmental threat is most serious because it can cause secondary complications. As per our knowledge, the amount of waste generated during the pandemic and its estimated quantity has not been assessed, thereby keeping the scientific community, Government authorities and public ignorant of its adverse effects. In this context, we have evaluated the waste generated by the Kingdom of Bahrain, estimated to be 35.480 kg/day (face masks), 1894 kg/day (PPEs) by the selected health facilities, 16,633.505 kg (vaccination-related) and 53,551.240 kg (related to tests conducted so far) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

    Abstract In immunocompetent patients, paranasal invasive aspergillosis is rare and has a high recurrence rate. Twenty-three cases of paranasal invasive aspergillosis, involving 14 male and nine female immunocompetent patients were reviewed. All patients were cancer-free, HIV-negative, with normal WBC, and none of the patients had received immunosuppressive therapy or corticosteroids. Mean duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 18 months. Aspergillus flavus was the species most frequently isolated. Surgical debridement was performed in all patients followed by antifungal therapy in 18 patients. Mean follow-up duration was 30 months. Fourteen patients relapsed after a mean of 13 months and required an average of 4.3 admissions for repeat surgical evacuation. In a logistic regression model, relapse was not associated with age, duration of symptoms, clinical findings, extent of disease, or mode of therapy. However, patients who were relapse-free tended to have had complete surgical evacuation followed by antifungal therapy.

    Abstract Corticosteroids are beneficial as treatment of certain tuberculosis syndromes. We reviewed all cases of peritoneal tuberculosis diagnosed at our institution over 10 years to evaluate the role of corticosteroid administration combined with antituberculous therapy. Nine patients were treated with steroids plus antituberculosis agents (cases), and 26 received antituberculosis treatment only (controls). The two groups were not significantly different in terms of their basic demographics or disease. Nineteen controls compared with one case had recurrent abdominal pain. Seven controls had 17 emergency department visits because of abdominal pain. Intestinal obstruction was diagnosed for five of these patients, four of whom underwent laparotomy revealing extensive adhesions. Three controls died, and no case died. No case required laparotomy, had a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction, or visited the emergency department because of abdominal pain. These findings suggest that corticosteroid administration combined with antituberculosis treatment reduces the frequency of morbidity and complications in patients with peritoneal tuberculosis.
