Retroperitoneal abscess in neonates is extremely rare and can be fatal in case of late diagnosis. A 7-day-old newborn presented with irritability, fever, lethargy, periumbilical erythema, and a tender abdominal mass. The initial laboratory findings were a high c-reactive protein, and respiratory alkalosis. An emergent laparotomy was performed revealing a retroperitoneal abscess that required drainage. The only etiology identified in the patient was omphalitis.

A patient with chronic respiratory failure and cor pulmonale was admitted to hospital with an exacerbation of cardiac failure. In attempting to control cardiac failure, intensive diuretic therapy resulted in the development of dehydration, alkalosis, grand mal convulsions and signs of a left hemiparesis. Correction of the electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities resulted in complete neurological recovery. Mechanisms of production by diuretics and the treatment of non-respiratory alkalosis is discussed.

On her presentation she was conscious pulse rate was 92 beats per minute and respiratory rate was 16/minute and decreased air entry bilateral lungs and coarse crepitations in both infrascapular and infraaxillary and mammary area- not maintaining saturation with spo2 69% at room air. She was put on nonbreathable mask @ 15 L/minute and she achieved spo2of 92%. Her fetal assessment was done using NST which was reactive. She was managed conservatively on antiviral, antibiotic, oxygen therapy by combination of high flow nasal cannula @60L/min at fio2 80% along with NRM @15 L/min. She was planned for induction once stable and once weaned from high flow nasal cannula. However she kept deteriorating and became tachypneic, dehydrated and delirious. Her repeated investigation revealed rise in TLC of 11800/ul and falling albumin level of 2.6 g/dl and rise in ferritin of 726ng/ml. Her subsequent ABG were suggestive of respiratory alkalosis. Subsequently she was not maintaining saturation and she was intubated and she collapsed. Keywords: Mortality, pregnant patient, COVID-19, respiratory alkalosis.

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.

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.
