The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Bell's Palsy and Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation and management of facial palsy, and suggests potential associations with COVID-19. Notably, the observed increase in Bell's palsy cases among elderly individuals with diabetes emphasizes the impact of the pandemic. Identifying the epidemiological changes in facial palsy during the COVID-19 pandemic has important implications for assessing its etiology and pathological mechanisms of facial palsy disease.PMID:38685888 | PMC:PMC11058340 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e140 (Source: J Korean Med Sci)

Characterization of Ceftriaxone-Resistant < em > Haemophilus influenzae < /em > Among Korean Children
CONCLUSION: The emergence of ceftriaxone-resistant H. influenzae with ceftriaxone MIC values of up to 0.75 mg/L was observed even in children in South Korea, with most associated with S385T and L389F substitutions. The N526K mutation alone does not significantly impact ceftriaxone resistance. Further large-scale studies are essential to investigate changes in antibiotic resistance patterns and factors influencing antibiotic resistance in H. influenzae isolated from pediatric patients in Korea.PMID:38651222 | PMC:PMC11035717 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e136 (Source: J Korean Med Sci)
