Behavioral disorders, including noise phobia, have a great impact on small animals internal medicine, impairing their quality of life as well as their life expectancy. The objective of this work is to report the case of a male dog who suffered from noise phobia and panic attacks triggered by thunderstorms and fireworks, and did not respond to previous training and treatment. After clinical and laboratory evaluations, he was treated with 2mg/kg clomipramine twice daily for 90 days associated with 0.06mg/kg alprazolam as needed on those days of intense fear. During the first week of treatment, a significant improvement could already be observed, with reduction in destructive behaviors, which lingered on for up to eight months of follow-up. The treatment stabilized the clinical condition and improved the patient’s quality of life.

AbstractPedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is a powerful tool for the management of sagittal misalignment. However, this procedure has a high rate of implant failure, particularly rod breakages. The four-rod technique diminishes this complication in the lumbar spine. The aim of the present study is to provide a case report regarding PSO and four-rod technique stabilization in the treatment of short-angle hyperkyphosis in the thoracolumbar (TL) junction. The authors describe the case of a patient with TL hyperkyphosis secondary to spinal tuberculosis treated with L1 PSO and fixation with a four-rod technique. There were no major surgical complications. The self-reported quality of life questionnaires (the Short-Form Health Survey 36 [SF-36] and the Oswestry disability index) and radiological parameters were assessed preoperatively, as well as 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery, and they showed considerable and sustained improvements in pain control and quality of life. No hardware failure was observed at the two-year follow-up.

Abstract After surgical treatment for oral cancer, patients often are affected by disfigurements, thwarted function, and psychological and social problems. Prosthodontic rehabilitation has the aim of restoring function and esthetics. Implant-supported prosthodontic rehabilitation is useful for patients with compromised residual ridge anatomy, such as patients with oral cancer following treatment. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a patient after mandibular resection with a milled bar-supported implant overdenture. Overdenture achieves best hygienic maintenance, easy soft tissue follow-up, and low realization cost. This rehabilitation increased prosthesis retention and stability and improved oral conditions and the patient's quality of life.

Periprosthetic hip infections are a dreaded complication met among most orthopedic surgeons after arthroplasty procedures especially in susceptible patients. We report a case of a patient with periprosthetic infection after a revised total hip arthroplasty. She was treated with deep lavage and debridement, combined with IV anti-biotherapy and vacuum dressings. A 4-year follow-up shows an infection-free patient with an acceptable functional status and quality of life. Suppression of the infection, with salvage of the prosthesis and maintaining an acceptable functional status, is a satisfactory result that can be achieved in selected cases.

Background: Intraosseous stab wounds are extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the upper extremity. Case Report: In this report, we presented a case of stab wound to the right shoulder with penetration to the scapula. The patient was successfully managed in a team-based approach. During a 12-month follow-up, he showed no abnormality in passive and active movements or physical examination. Conclusion: Relying on the physical examinations and paraclinical studies may be an appropriate substitution for exploration surgery when possible iatrogenic injuries may affect the patient's quality of life.

Abstract Background Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary malformation showing various manifestations regarding enamel dysplasia. This case report shows a 9-year follow-up after restorative treatment of a 16-year old female patient affected by a hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta. The caries-free, hypersensitive teeth of the patient were restored by direct dentin adhesive composite restorations performed in total etch technique. Case presentation After rehabilitation the patient reported a marked improvement of the mastication ability and quality of life especially during food intake. Accumulation of plaque was reduced and the ability to perform adequate oral hygiene was improved. During follow-up of 9 years recurring secondary caries and debonding of fillings were recognized and retreated. Conclusions The retrospective assessment exhibits that the performed restorative treatment prolonged the time until further treatment has to be considered, such as prosthetic treatment.

Liver transplantation is an option that improves quality of life and prolongs life expectancy in patients with different types of liver disease. Liver transplantation is controversial for colorectal metastases and is not recommended in clinical practice guidelines. In this case report, we present, to our knowledge, the first liver transplantation for colorectal metastases conducted in Colombia, with a successful follow-up of more than 2 years. Patients with these characteristics who underwent liver transplantation experience reduced mortality and exponentially improved quality of life.

Tongue Mobility

Background: After a total glossectomy, one lost the ability to speak and swallow due to the loss of tongue mobility and the increase of space between the palate and tongue remnants. To improve swallowing by creating negative pressure, tongue and palatal drop prostheses can be utilized. This prosthesis does not restore other tongue functions such as mastication, speech articulation and resonance because the prosthesis cannot reproduce natural tongue movements. Purpose: To rehabilitate the tongue deformity due to the gun shot wound. Methods and Materials: The case report revealed the total lost of tongue of a Bangladeshi patient who cannot be able to swallow and speak. The remaining teeth still fully intact but the palatal drop and tongue prosthesis was fabricated with the silicone prosthesis. Results: Both palatal drop prosthesis and tongue prosthesis allowed the patient to increase the capacity to swallow and reduce the remaining odondus space. The speech appeared to be more intelligiable but cannot fully restore. Conclusion: The quality of life of a patient after post operative follow-up appeared to be better; however, the physiologic function of the missing organ cannot fully restored.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cdcj.v10i1.13828City Dent.

Introduction. Skin reflects our physiology and emotions too. In present era each and every one desire to have healthy and beautiful skin. Any changes or disease of skin creates apart from physical and psychological and social negative impacts. Hyperpigmentation or melasma is one of the such raised problem in our country as it has significant impact on beauty and appearance. It is more prevalent in women, in an estimated 9:1 ratio compared to men. In addition, there are high expenditures related to medical treatments and procedures whose results do not always meet the expectations of patients. hence it is need of an hour to provide safe and cost effective treatment for the skin disease like melasma. In addition to traditional treatments for melasma, there are also promising new treatments, including topical, oral, and procedural therapies Materials & Methods: It is a Case report on 28 year old female patient diagnosed as a case of Melasama (Vyanga) managed through Ayurveda treatment like Vaman Karma and Ayurveda medication Assessment was made on the basis of significant change in MASI score and quality of life (melas Qol) Observation & Results: Observation was done before treatment after treatment and during follow up The changes computed in Masi score in which degree of pigmentation decline to 10 to 6, quality of life improve 60 to 48. Conclusion: The computed data from the present study shows that Vamana Karma along with Ayurvedic oral Ayurveda medication is effective in the treatment of melasma (Vyanga).
