There have been several complications of this disease that have also proven to be debilitating and deadly. While primarily affecting the respiratory system, some cases presented with uncommon complications such as pneumopericardium and spontaneous pneumothorax. We present a case of an elderly female diagnosed with COVID-19 found to have both spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumopericardium. She had a complicated hospital course and ultimately succumbed to her illness. While the pathogenesis of these conditions is not yet fully understood, further studies are needed to help clinicians develop treatment and prevention strategies to improve patient outcomes.Pediatric morbidity and mortality associated with methadone poisoning have been rising over the years. In this report, we discuss a case of a four-year-old boy who presented with respiratory distress and a depressed level of consciousness. A urine drug testing was performed given the miosis along with the depressed level of consciousness; the test was found to be positive for methadone, and no other cause of drowsiness was identified. This report highlights the importance of urine drug testing in pediatric patients presenting with a depressed level of consciousness.The mastoid process is a conical projection from the undersurface of the temporal bone. Examination of skeletal remains by anthropologists requires sex determination. The present study proposes to determine sex from morphometry of the mastoid process. The study was conducted on 300 dried skulls with the help of a digital vernier caliper. Discriminant functional analysis was performed. The parameters measured were the mastoid triangle, which is formed by specific points the porion, mastoidale, and asterion, and the linear distances between them. All parameters were higher in male skulls with a high
