Drone applications in medicine include disaster assessment, 1 delivery of aid packages, 1 vaccines, 1 blood, rapid access to automated external defibrillators (AED) for patients in cardiac arrest, 2 and rapid transport for organs for transplantation. 1 Telemedicine is a field where drones have great possibilities, especially in the field of tele barrier nursing for an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patient. ICU patients are gnerally immunocompromised and require intensive monitoring. This requires either constant presence of a doctor or repeated visits to the isolation ICU. 3 Repeated visits can increase the risk of cross-infection through a doctor/health care professional that enters the room. Using a drone circumvents these issues and helps us monitoring the patient remotely, without any direct patient contact. Drones have already been used successfully in major disasters due to the ease to bypass road closures and rugged terrains without any flight crew. 3 They have been ised in 2010 earthquatke in Hiati, 2012 in the United States, 2015 in islands on Vanuatu and for the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. 3 The Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors without borders (MSF) used drones to transport dummy TB test samples in Papua New Guinea. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) tested medical supply delivery to a small clinic in rural Virginia using a drone. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) delivered human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) kits in Malawi, Africa using a drone too. 3 Drones in out of hospital arrest of the patient have been well documented. They have been used to transport AED's in public place rapidly on call for ambulance in case of arrest. 2 They have been shown to have a positive impact on survival following out of hospital cardiac arrests. Drones have the potential to be used for delivery of blood samples and other biological samples in a very cost effective way. The efficiency of the drone in transporting small goods is well documented and especially useful in hospitals where centralized sample delivery chute is unavailable.

Of the complications of diabetes mellitus, foot ulcers are the most dreaded complications, as they can progress at an alarming rate and can be very difficult to treat. Various modalities have been described in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. One such modality of phenytoin therapy uses the disadvantage of the drug, that is, gingival hyperplasia to the advantage of wound healing. We hereby report a case of diabetic foot ulcer managed with injection phenytoin sprayed topically over the wound.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created disruptions worldwide with unprecedented interruption of non-COVID health care. Cleft care services toward children with cleft lip and palate have also been affected worldwide leading to stress among cleft caregivers. The use of remote consultation and therapy finds a definitive application in such situations. We present our method of providing uninterrupted cleft care through remote consultations service during this pandemic.
