ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis, a rapidly invasive form of fungal infection caused by Mucorales fungi, has high morbidity and mortality rates. Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is the most common form of mucormycosis. With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, a causal correlation between mucormycosis and COVID-19 has been suspected, contributing to the abrupt increase in opportunistic fungal infection cases. We present a case of a Southeast Asian woman in her 60s with complaints of pus discharge in the palatal region with maxillary teeth mobility for 3 months. Physical examination revealed multiple nonvital upper teeth with severe mobility. Incisional biopsy of the maxilla and multidetector computed tomography of the head and neck confirmed the diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the maxilla secondary to mucormycosis. Surgical treatment was performed, and amphotericin B and posaconazole were administered. No operative complications or further bone destruction were observed at 8 months postoperatively. © 2022 China Medical Cosmetology Press Co. Ltd.
ABSTRACT
The paper proposed a real-time Web interface for a physical plant that can be plugged into a commercial tele-meeting application. The Web interface is developed with responsive and interactive with a physical hardware. This results in a telepresence working environment that the students can work as a team to investigate the performance of a machine, i.e., a linear stage. The proposed system is applied to the third-year laboratory course and the feedback is positive. The working environment complies with the health measures for Covid-19 and supports a new campus life. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
