The Covid-19 pandemic has led people who were non-COVID-19 patient to avoid hospital admission and to seek help from alternative medicine. The aim of this report is to describe the management of chest pain at home using Su Jok therapy. Case report: A male 47 of years old complained of chest pain with difficulty breathing and asked for help from the researcher who was a nurse as well as Su Jok therapist. His sclera profile was recorded for analysis (sclerology analysis). Su Jok therapy was applied directly by the researcher on daily basis. Researcher also monitored his condition progress through checking pain point on his hands and also from his sclera profile. After two weeks, the symptoms subsided and the eye’s profile of sclera shows healing progress. Conclusion: The case study shows that Su Jok therapy may become an alternative therapy for managing chest pain.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in people avoiding hospital admission for non-COVID patients and forcing people to seek help via telehealth or alternative medicine.Case study: A 30-year-old man from Solo, Indonesia, complained of left chest discomfort with an irregular heartbeat. This man sent an inquiry and his left eye sclera profile through WhatsApp on July 20, 2020 to a researcher, who is a nurse and “Su jok” therapist. Protocol for “Su jok” therapy was sent back through WhatsApp, and after applying the treatment for 30 minutes, the patient felt better, and symptoms were less severe. The full protocol to be applied for the following days was then sent to the patient. After three weeks, there was a less sharp red line in the sclera area of the vessel blockage, and he only experienced mild symptoms.Conclusion: The case study shows that “Su jok” therapy may become an alternative therapy for managing chest pain at home. Sclerology can be a complementary choice to monitor a patient’s heart condition. Visiting the hospital, however, is still necessary when the symptoms become worse.

Specific Symptoms

Endotracheal hamartomas are rarely encountered in children. The symptoms of endotracheal hamartoma may include cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, chest pain, purulent sputum, and fever. The non-specific symptoms often result in a delayed diagnosis. Among the various treatments of this rare disease, surgical resection seems to be the most widely used, while endoscopic treatment is rarely described. Herein, we describe the case of a 9-year-old boy with an endotracheal hamartoma that was successfully excised by electrosurgical snaring via fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB). The resection of select benign endotracheal tumors in children can be conducted using electrocautery, which can be regarded as an alternative therapy to bronchotomy.

BackgroundDelusional parasitosis is infrequently seen in hospital-based consultation–liaison psychiatry.AimsAlthough there are many publications on delusional parasitosis, this report reviews a unique case that was diagnosed during a hospital admission and treated over the next 36 months.MethodCase report and literature review.ResultsThis case report describes a 65-year-old man who was diagnosed with delusional parasitosis during a hospital admission for congestive heart failure and acute kidney injury. A longitudinal description of the patient's condition during the hospital stay and in the 36 months following discharge, during which time he was treated by a consultation psychiatrist, is provided.ConclusionsIn discussing the treatment of a challenging presentation, this case demonstrates the opportunity for consultation psychiatrists to initiate care in patients who might not otherwise seek psychiatric services. Patients with somatic delusions represent one group of patients who are unlikely to independently seek psychiatric treatment.

Boerhaave Syndrome

<sec id="s1"> <title/> Boerhaave syndrome is a disorder mainly unknown among ambulance staff. However, the high mortality and morbidity rates associated with this rare disorder, and the fact that other conditions present with similar symptoms, suggest that this is one disorder to add to the differential diagnosis list. This case study describes a 17-year-old male complaining of left-sided ‘pressure’-type chest pain and persistent vomiting who on examination was found to have subcutaneous emphysema present. Deceived by a differential diagnosis, the patient was transferred under the belief that he had suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax as he was tall, young and thin. This case report reviews the literature surrounding Boerhaave syndrome and how it can present. </sec>

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.

Abstract The article presents a case with diagnosed Hodgkin disease (HD) during pregnancy. The aim of this case study was to present diagnostic possibilities in determining HD stage during pregnancy and therapeutic dilemmas. The incidence of HD during pregnancy is 3.2% of all cases with this malignant hematological disorder. The treatment of this disease during pregnancy depends on disease-related factors, pregnancy-related factors, as well as possible implications for fetal morbidity and mortality. The need of analysis of the nature of the disease during pregnancy indicates examination of a larger series of pregnant women with HD and the drawn conclusions affect the decision whether chemotherapy treatment should start immediately or it should be postponed for after delivery.
