Ingrown Nail

Introduction: Ingrown nail (onychocryptosis) is a common condition in podiatric and surgical practices. It is usually chronic, recurrent, and affects every-day quality of life. Treatment can be divided into conservative and surgical methods and should be initiated by the former methods and followed by the latter if need be.Case report: The report describes the case of a patient with an ingrown toenail, who suffered from recurrent bouts of inflammation which were cured conservatively. The periods of relief were short-lasting, and thus he underwent two types of treatment simultaneously – surgical excision of the nail folds combined with Arkada’s method. This treatment achieved two goals – withdrawal of all symptoms and a good aesthetic effect. No recurrences were reported.

Points Of View

Enlarged pores of facial skin always remain a matter of concern from both dermatologic and cosmetologic points of view. There were many conditions that are difficult to treat in which facial pores enlarge among them most common condition is acne vulgaris. This condition put a negative impact on a person’s quality of life and as well as also socially devastating for many individuals as it affects the physical appearance of a person. Although enlarged pores are not of medical concern it is considered as a more cosmetic con- cern. There are many available possible treatment options for enlarged pores but this case report is based on clinical evaluation of radiofrequency therapy in treating enlarged skin pores. In this report, three ses- sions of therapy every week for 3 weeks were applied. The results show a gradual decrease in the size of pores with almost clear skin.

Aggressive Tumor

Chordoma is a rare and locally aggressive tumor that arises from the notochordal remnants and has an incidence of 0.1/100000 per year. It has a predilection for the axial skeleton and is the most common primary malignant tumor of sacrum. The mainstay of treatment is wide surgical excision but there is a risk of recurrence due to the infiltrating nature of the tumor. Here, we report a case of a 56-years male who complained of pain over his sacral region for the past two years along with episodic urinary symptoms, constipation, and weakness of both legs. Seven years after undergoing surgery and radiotherapy for his sacral chordoma, he was diagnosed with recurrent sacral chordoma and planned for reoperation. Subtotal excision of the chordoma was done which significantly alleviated his symptoms postoperatively. Timely intervention helps to improve the quality of life in patients with either primary or recurrent sacral chordomas.

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.

Breast Plastic Surgery

Background: Breast plastic surgery is a rapidly evolving field of medicine. The modern view of surgical trends reflects the desire to minimize complications and introduce advanced technologies. These always will be priorities for surgeons. Reconstructive surgery, a branch of plastic surgery focusing on restoration of lost functional and aesthetic component, seeks to enhance psychological rehabilitation and improves the quality of life, as well as aesthetic recovery. Objective: This review addresses the action of fibrin agents and their effect on the quality of surgical hemostasis. Discussion and Conclusion: The fundamental goals for the surgeon are to perform a minimally traumatic intervention and to prevent any form of complication. Achieving complete hemostasis is an intraoperative necessity. Timely prevention of bleeding and hemorrhagic phenomena can affect not only the outcome of the operation, but also the incidence of postoperative complications. Topics include the integrity of microvascular anastomoses, tissue adhesion, and the incidence of seromas and hematomas associated with fibrin glue usage. The literature on fibrin adhesives with respect to prevention of postoperative complications, and the effectiveness with active drainage also are analyzed.

Fistula In Ano

A standard Ksharasutra is practiced in treatment of Bhagandara (fistula-in-ano) with high success rate and minimum recurrence rate. In previous research it was noted that Pittaja Prakruti patients sometime might cause more perianal irritation due to Apamarga Ksharasutra. So in this study Palasha Ksharasutra prepared in Arkaksheera was prepared by Palasha Kshara (Ash of Butea monosperma), Arka Ksheera (Calotropis gigantic) and turmeric powder (Curcuma longa). This Ksharasutra was prepared as per the API guidelines and preserved in air tight tube. A patient of Pittaja predominant Prakruti with fistula-in ano having two external opening at 6 and 7 O’ clock position of anus was treated with application of Ksharasutra. The Palasha Ksharasutra prepared in Arkaksheera was applied in these two opening under spinal anesthesia. Then Ksharasutra was changed by weekly interval under local xylocaine jelly 2%. The length of thread was measured weekly and noted in the case to assess the unit cutting time (UCT). The unit cutting time (UCT) of first thread was 7.5 days/cm and second one had UCT 6.8 days/cm. During the treatment patient was doing his job regularly without hampering the quality of life. After 2 months patient was free from all symptoms of fistula with normal scar and without any complications. This case study demonstrated the utility of Palasha Ksharasutra prepared in Arkaksheera in multiple fistula-in ano.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Keloids are a benign fibroproliferative disease with a high tendency of recurrence. Keloids cause functional impairment, disfigurement, pruritus, and low quality of life. Many therapeutic options have been used for keloids. However, the high recurrence rates have led to the use of adjuvant therapy after surgical keloid excision. There are different radiotherapy regimens available, and the advantages and disadvantages of each are still unclear. The aim of this review is to explain the appropriate radiotherapy regimen for keloids as well as discuss the recent reports on keloid management with radiotherapy. Adjuvant radiotherapy after surgical excision for keloids yields excellent local control with tolerable side effects. Hypofractionated radiotherapy with a BED of more than 28 Gy (α/β value of 10) after excision is recommended in the light of its biologic background.

The Moment

This review discusses a number of aspects of surgical methods for treating severe chronic heart failure: resynchronizing therapy, mechanical circulatory support systems, and heart transplantation. Surgical methods for the treatment of heart failure are a rapidly developing field of modern cardiology and cardiac surgery. The main surgical method of treatment was and remains orthotopic transplantation of a donor heart. The advent of implantable systems has affected the problem of heart transplantation. Over the past decade, the use of mechanical circulatory support systems has grown significantly. At the moment, there are 3 main directions: creating devices for auxiliary blood circulation, various modes and methods of electrical stimulation of the myocardium, creating devices that mechanically remodel the heart chambers (left ventricle). All of these directions to some extent (depending on the evidence base) have found their place in modern recommendations for the treatment of chronic heart failure. The use of mechanical left ventricular remodeling shows good results in patients suffering from symptomatic heart failure, which leads to a significant and persistent decrease in the volume of the left ventricle and improvement of its function, symptoms and quality of life. Despite the fact that at the moment the geography and prevalence of their use is small, the number of implanted devices will only grow. Thus, given the need for frequent hospitalizations and high treatment costs, it is necessary to improve modern methods of surgical treatment of severe and terminal heart failure, make them more accessible, which will affect the duration and quality of life of these patients.
