We reviewed all recurrent parotitis cases from the files of the Otolaryngology Division at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The criteria for inclusion were at least two years of evolution and more than one year and a half follow-up in our service. We included five children in the study. Sialography was performed in the first evaluation and sonography was executed annually. Recurrent parotitis showed male predominance, and affected mainly children between the ages of 3 and 6. Frequency of crisis improved with time in all cases. Sialography showed sialectasis aspect in the affected glands and sonographic exams demonstrated hypoechoic and heterogeneous internal echoes. One case showed regression of ultrasound changes after clinical improvement.

Liomyomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rare. They make up less than 1% of all leiomyomas in the human body. This is due to the paucity of smooth muscle in the nose. They are classified in three groups: leiomyoma, angiomyoma and epithelioid leiomyoma. Only 15 cases of vascular leiomyomas have been found in the literature. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Hereby we present a new case and review the literature.

The cricoid lumen configuration was elliptic, and its mean area was smaller than that of available endotracheal tubes. This lumen area was most influenced by weight and height.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a importância da vacinação contra Coronavírus (COVID-19; SARS-COV-2) no Brasil, buscando descrever a sua eficácia e a importância da conscientização da imunização. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo revisão integrativa da literatura (RIL), que apresenta abordagem qualitativa. Para a realização desse estudo, foram consultadas as bases de dados: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Scholar Google, Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Repositórios e Google acadêmico. Utilizou-se os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) de forma associada: “COVID-19”, “vacina”, “Brasil”, "Imunização" e “Coronavírus”. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos disponibilizados na íntegra, disponíveis nos idiomas português e inglês e publicados entre os anos de 2019 e 2021. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, restaram 18 estudos. Ao longo da história observa-se que as práticas de vacinação programadas e organizadas evitam milhões de óbitos e controla a evolução de várias doenças. No Brasil, a cobertura vacinal se iniciou por dois grupos prioritários: profissionais da saúde por estarem na linha de frente e população idosa, pelo maior risco de morte por COVID-19 que aumenta com a idade, especialmente entre os portadores de doenças crônicas.

Recurrent parotitis (RP) is defined as recurrent parotid inflammation, generally associated with non-obstructive sialectasis of the parotid gland. It is a rare condition, and its etiology remains an enigma. Aim: The purposes of the present study were (1) to relate the follow up of five RP cases; (2) to examine the role of sialography and ultrasound in diagnosis and follow up; and (3) to make a literature review. Study design: series review. Material and Method: We reviewed all recurrent parotitis cases from the files of the Otolaryngology Division at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The criteria for inclusion were at least two years of evolution and more than one year and a half follow-up in our service. We included five children in the study. Sialograhpy was performed in the first evaluation and sonography was executed annually. Recurrent parotitis showed male predominance, and affected mainly children between the ages of 3 and 6. Frequency of crisis improved with time in all cases. Sialography showed sialectasis aspect in the affected glands and sonographic exams demonstrated hipoechoic and heterogeneous internal echoes. One case showed regression of ultrasound changes after clinical improvement.

Ao Dr. José Roberto P. Jurado, amigo e exemplo de dedicação à nossa profissão, pela simplicidade como compartilha seus conhecimentos e pela forma justa como trata a todos. Ao Dr. Edigar Rezende Almeida, pela orientação profissional e prática e por sua postura sempre acolhedora.
