Do the Covid-19 vaccines affect the reproductive parameters of men ? & #8212;A Northern Saudi experience
Conclusion: These preliminary results show that the COVID-19 vaccines do not have any adverse effect on the reproductive parameters of men. A prospective long-term follow-up study will be necessary on all WHO -approved COVID vaccines to determine their long-term effect on men's reproductive health. The future follow-up study could strengthen our findings and encourage the men who have vaccine hesitancy to take due to fear of its effect on reproductive parameters.

Penile skin length can be predicted before frenuloplasty during routine circumcision
Conclusion: Penile length changes that would occur following frenuloplasty can be calculated using a noninvasive method. Frenuloplasty, which would be performed without any vascular change, could be helpful in the surgical planning of some penile surgeries. More studies should be conducted on older boys, in anatomic deviations, and moreover, to establish a reliable formulation. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Evaluation of eye health in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and celiac disease
Conclusion: The higher IOP and OPA values of the children with T1DM and CeD were considered to be the result of the microvascular pathologies in T1DM and increased inflammation associated with CeD. High IOP and OPA values can lead to damage in the eye as intraocular blood flow and choroidal perfusion are affected. In order to prevent these eye problems, measurement of IOP and OPA should be done in children with diagnosis of T1DM and CeD and also follow up studies needed.

Soft-tissue sarcoma of the arm & #8212;An oncosurgical and reconstructive challenge: A case report
We present the case of a 63-year-old man with swelling of the dorsum of the arm,nocturnal hyperhidrosis, and weight loss. Radiologic examination revealed possible malignancy and metabolically active left axillary lymph nodes. The tumor was excised, and the defect was covered using a pedicled myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap. The distal portion of the muscle was attached to the remnant tricep brachii tendon. Postoperative histopathology revealed a highly malignant STS. The patient remained relapse-free after a regimen for adjuvant chemotherapy. Satisfactory aesthetic results and modest elbow extension were evident during ...

Cumulative inflammatory burden causing multiple complications after a successful pelvic surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
In this study, we present a metastatic ovarian cancer case admitted with bilateral nephrostomies, nonfunctioning colostomy, and high-volume recto- and vesicovaginal fistulas after debulking. She had frequent urinary tract infections and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Surgery was performed successfully. However, we had to deal with complications, such as electrolyte imbalance, wound infection and continuing SIRS. Cumulative inflammatory burden caused by advanced carcinoma itself and its complications creates serious medical and psychosocial problems and should be managed with patience.

Endobronchial Actinomycosis: A Case Report
E Afsin, E BacaksuNigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2022 25(10):1758-1761 An extremely rare disease with a slow course, actinomycosis has a high mortality risk when not properly treated. Pulmonary actinomycosis is clinically and radiologically analogous with tuberculosis, foreign body aspiration, lung abscess, or lung cancer. Therefore, it often causes misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis. A 65-year-old male patient, being followed up with the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung adenocarcinoma, was admitted to our outpatient clinic with complaints of chronic cough. On chest CT, a cavitary ...

Effect of different polymerization times on color change, translucency parameter, and surface hardness of bulk-fill resin composites
Conclusion: Under the conditions of 10,000 thermal cycles, different curing times did not affect the color change and hardness values of the bulk-fill materials. However, differences were observed among the composite materials. After thermocycling, the surface hardness and TP values decreased in all the resin composites. Depending on the material content, effective results can be obtained from the 20 s polymerization of bulk-fill resin composites. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Subclinical hypothyroidism in children with idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome at a tertiary institution in South-West Nigeria
Conclusion: Screening of children for SCH with NS especially steroid-resistant NS and frequent relapsing steroid sensitive NS for hypothyroidism before complications arise is pertinent to their holistic management. This becomes even more imperative in our environment as iodine deficiency hypothyroidism is still prevalent in some parts of the country. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)
