    This is a case report of a rather rare disorder i.e. Ramsay Hunt syndrome.  This is caused by Varicella zoster infections involving geniculate ganglion of facial nerve.  This syndrome is manifested by the presence of blebs in the external auditory canal, ear ache, and lower motor neurone type of facial paralysis.  This patient had excellent recovery following administration of oral steroids and acyclovir.

    Endoscopic sinus surgery which is the commonly performed nasal surgery has its own problems ifnot performed properly. Success of maxillay sinus antrostomy depends on including the naturalostium to the antrostomy. For this to happen the natural ostium should be identified during thesurgical procedure. Common cause of failure in endoscopic sinus surgery is the failure to addressthe uncinate process. In all cases it should be removed completely before proceeding further.

    Describing codimension two defects

    Codimension two defects of the (0,2)(0,2) six dimensional theory X[j]\mathscr{X}[\mathfrak{j}] have played an important role in the understanding of dualities for certain N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SCFTs in four dimensions. These defects are typically understood by their behaviour under various dimensional reduction schemes. In their various guises, the defects admit partial descriptions in terms of singularities of Hitchin systems, Nahm boundary conditions or Toda operators. Here, a uniform dictionary between these descriptions is given for a large class of such defects in X[j],j∈A,D,E\mathscr{X}[\mathfrak{j}], \mathfrak{j} \in A,D,E.Comment: 74pp, lots of tables detailing order reversing duality; (v2) Acknowledgement added. Notation simplified, refs added, minor fixes ; (v3) Minor changes, version accepted in JHEP. I thank the referee for helpful comments towards improving presentatio
