Introduction: Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis of heart disease. However, sometimes misdiagnosis information is also provided. Methods and Results: We report a rare case of preoperative echocardiography misdiagnosed as a primary mitral valvular tumor with severe regurgitation. During the surgery procedure, the true lesion was found to be mitral valve leaflet prolapse due to degenerative mitral valve disease. Conclusions: For individual patient, it may need to combine clinical symptoms and wide use of echocardiography and CT or MRI to make the optimal clinical decision.

This article covers a case report about approaching the mandible for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction with simultaneous deep-plane rhytidectomy. Different methods have been used by surgeons to access the condylar neck with a focus on post-op cosmetic results. TMJ reconstruction surgeries have positive predicable results in most patients. However, facial scarring has always been a major drawback of the procedure. In our hospital, a patient presents with a stage 5 degenerative disease of the TMJ bilaterally and needed joint reconstruction. A deep-plane rhytidectomy was performed simultaneously, serving the purpose of accessing the joint for reconstruction, and not only minimizing post-op scarring but also providing the patient with a satisfactory cosmetic outcome. Deep-plane rhytidectomy can be used to access the condyle for TMJ reconstruction surgery. It provides patients, especially those with advanced age, with better aesthetics, which may be helpful in convincing patients to undergo surgery, and may also result in an overall positive post-op experience.

Abstract Transapical mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation is effective and safe to replace ruptured chordae due to degenerative disease. Redo transapical neochordae implantation has never been reported in the literature. We present a case report of a 53-year-old man who underwent a reoperative neochord implantation for recurrent severe mitral regurgitation, resulting from degenerative disease progression with a new native chordal rupture. We report the midterm durability of reoperative Neochord repair.

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.

Extract Information

Real-time amplitude contour and spectral displays were used in teaching speech production skills to a profoundly deaf, nonspeaking boy. This child had a visual attention problem, a behavior problem, and a poor academic record. In individual instruction, he was first taught to produce features of speech, for example, friction, nasal, and stop, which are present in vocalizations of 6- to 9-month-old infants, and then to combine these features in syllables and words. He made progress in speech, although sign language and finger spelling were taught at the same time. Speech production skills were retained after instruction was terminated. The results suggest that deaf children are able to extract information about the features of speech from visual displays, and that a developmental sequence should be followed as far as possible in teaching speech production skills to them.

On page 112 of the report by Wilson, Oldring, and Mueller ("Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Dissection: A Case Report Involving Return of Spastic Dysphonia after Initial Surgery," pp. 112-118), the paraphrase from Cooper (1971), "if the patients are carefully selected and are willing to remain in therapy for a long period of time," was inadvertantly put in quotation marks.
