Abstract : Citizen’s makeup a country or a nation, and their cohesive coexistence can be assumed to be tied to a common belief, faith or trust in those ruling or leading them and once this trust or common belief is violated by assume or presumed actions of those in position of trust, the sequela or consequences will be a breakdown of law and order at the long run, national disunity and a collapse of all national norms. The management of the COVID-19 pandemic has remained highly divisive and criticized by various groups in the US leading to draconic censorship, mandates, especially when it came to mandating the experimental use vaccines. This writer is writing from a personal perspective and seeks to explore what was told, what was observed and how these may or may not affect national security via citizens compliance for future interventions in health issues.

Abstract : ABSTRACT
Gorlin syndrome, also known as Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, basal cell nevus syndrome, or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by numerous basal cell carcinomas, skeletal, ophthalmic, and neurological abnormalities. Diagnosis is crucial through diagnostic tests, clinical signs, and radiological manifestations. The present paper highlights the importance of diagnostic criteria and histopathology in early and prompt diagnosis which will lead to proper treatment and genetic counseling of the patient. We are presenting a case of 28-year-old male patient came with the history of painful swelling over the left cheek and around the left eye. His histopathology report was keratocyst and genetic screening done confirmative of: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Garlin-Goltz syndrome is a multisystem disorder involving basal cell nevi, jaw keratocysts, and skeletal anomalies, with associated neurological, ophthalmic, endocrine, and genital manifestations, diagnosed using major and minor criteria. This paper emphasizes the importance of ENT and maxillofacial health professionals in the early diagnosis of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and in a preventive multidisciplinary approach to provide a better prognosis to the patient.

Abstract : Context/Objective: The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on routine childhood immunization. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), many countries have reported a decrease in vaccination coverage during the pandemic due to various factors such as movement restrictions, fear of contracting Covid-19 during medical visits, closure of healthcare facilities, and the reassignment of healthcare workers to Covid-19 response efforts. The Far North region of Cameroon consistently records cases of vaccine-preventable diseases, and as a result of this pandemic, there is a risk of an increase in these diseases. The objective of this research is to assess the impact of Covid-19 on routine immunization among children under 5 years old in the Mayo Tsanaga (MT) and Logone et Chari (LC) departments. The implementation of barrier measures could pose a significant risk of immunization abandonment among children under 5 years old. Method: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the MT and LC departments. This study was both retrospective and prospective. Data were collected through a questionnaire and a documentary review of existing data before the pandemic. We collected our data using the Kobo Collect software, and the analysis was performed using the R software. Results: The proportion of fully vaccinated children is 53% with a 95% confidence interval [46.58%-60.29%]. It was observed that 4.65% with a 95% confidence interval [2.25%-8.38%] of children were under-vaccinated for Penta 3. The specific abandonment rate is 6.04% with a 95% confidence interval [3.25%-10.11%]. Conclusion: Covid-19 has had an impact on routine immunization in both departments of the study, leading to the failure to achieve the vaccination coverage objective.
