Onychomadesis usually arises from an inflammation of the paronychium or as a result of blisters and hemorrhaging under a nail that has been struck or compressed. No documented interactions between basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and onychomadesis have hitherto been reported. This case report describes a 25-year-old woman with onychomadesis following infection of the ingrown nail of her left thumb. After ten months of observation with no treatment showed no regrowth of her left thumbnail, the external use of bFGF and antibiotic ointment was started. One month later, nail regrowth was observed up to the halfway point of the nail bed, and after treatment for three months, the regrown nail reached the top of the nail bed. Both thumbnails now looked identical. This case suggests that external use of bFGF can promote nail regrowth in cases of onychomadesis with delayed regrowth of the nail.

Delayed Treatment

We present a case report of a digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) on the left thumb with slow growth that was completely excised, without recurrence or metastasis during 24-month follow-up. DPA is a rare malignant tumor often located on the digits of the hand. Due to its slow growth and a non-specific appearance, the diagnosis is often missed or delayed. Treatment should be surgical with clear resection of the margins due to high risk of recurrence and/or metastasis.

<p>Tubercular dactylitis is a rare entity and usually involves bones of hands and feet, involvement of feet is less common. Here we report case of 18 years old female with neglected tubercular involvement of her left thumb and left great toe of foot with hallux varus deformity. Her diagnosis was delayed as she did not seek any healthcare advice for a long time and also lack of suspicion of entity. This entity which should be kept in mind when making differential diagnosis that can be treated conservatively when diagnosed early.</p>

We present an uncommon case of a 3-year-old boy with a finger sucking habit who developed dystrophic calcification in his left thumb. Two years after excision, there was no recurrence, and the thumb retained full range of motion. We also discuss its probable pathogenesis and present a brief review of the literature about orthopedic complications in the hand due to this habit.

Patient Reported

Background: The purpose of this article is to describe a technique which helps in fabrication of glove-type hollow thumb prosthesis using three-part mould technique. Case description and methods: Patient reported to the Department of Private dental clinic, Delhi, India with a chief complaint of missing partial left thumb and wanted to get it replaced. A complete clinical hand examination was carried out, which revealed a residual stump of 1 cm length. After ensuring the medical conditions to be normal, fabrication of hollow thumb prosthesis was planned using three-part mould technique. Findings and outcomes: The prosthesis delivered to the patient was highly retentive because of its glove-type retention and lighter weight; feedback from the patient regarding retention was excellent. The prosthesis was aesthetically pleasing because of its excellent colour matching with the skin, and each and every part of the prosthesis could be colour customized because of easy retrieval of the third part of the mould, as well. Conclusion: A technique of hollow thumb prosthesis has been described in this article which helps in reduction in weight, easy packing of silicone material into the mould and easy colour customization at the knuckles area of the dorsal and ventral aspect of the prosthesis. Clinical relevance This three-part mould technique helps to fabricate hollow prosthesis which increases retainability and at the same time allows easy packing of silicone material and easy colour customization at the knuckles area of the prosthesis.

Abstract The incidence rate of electrical injury has remained stable, while the absolute case number has increased. Amputations, erosions, occlusions, and delayed blood vessel rupture are the common complications. Ectopic implantation salvage has been performed widely in mechanical trauma patients, to preserve viable or possibly viable tissues and organ, without application in the electrical injury patients to the best of our knowledge. Here, we present a case report involving ectopic implantation salvage of the left thumb before contralateral transplantation to the right hand after high-voltage electrical injury. The patient’s left thumb remained viable despite necrosis of the left forearm at 3 weeks post-injury. After debridement, we implanted the left thumb to his thigh where it was anastomosed to the lateral circumflex femoral artery’s descending branch and great saphenous vein. We replanted the left thumb on the right hand with fixation 6 weeks later. The reassembled right hand remained well-circulated 11 months post-reconstruction. We believe this case supports broadening the indication for ectopic implantation salvage surgeries to patients who sustain electrical injuries.

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.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.
