Different Types

Khan, Ghosh & Sasidharan (1978a) and Khan, Sasidharan & Ghosh (1978b) have reported on Barmer goats' efficiency in water economy under the conditions of the Rajasthan desert, India. Some earlier reports also pointed to the superiority of dosert-adapted goats of other breeds in this respect (Maloiy & Taylor, 1971; Shkolnik, Borut & Choshniak, 1972; Dawson et al. 1975). Recently, Khan, Sasidharan & Ghosh (1978 c) have recorded evidence which indicates that Banner goats' management of the body's water balance is decidedly superior to that of desert sheep. However, just as these two species exhibit wide divergence in their behavioural responses to environmental stresses, they appear to exhibit physiological responses of different types in combating such stresses. In the present note, information on a few important indices of adaptation to water insufficiency conditions, namely, glomerular nitration rate (GFR) and blood and urinary urea concentrations in Barmer goats are presented.

Pure Tone Audiogram

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
