Depression Dependent Parkinsonism: Case Report

With increasing depression a patient's Parkinsonian tremors increased. With successful treatment of the patient's depression with Imipramine, the tremors disappeared, but slowly began again after drug noncompliance resulted in recurrence of depression. Evidence suggesting a relationship between depression and extrapyramidal dysfunction is discussed. The need for a greater understanding of the role of the extrapyramidal system in emotion and behavior and the connections between the extrapyramidal system to limbic and cortical structures are noted.

Common Variable

There is limited evidence to guide successful treatment of recurrent Campylobacter infection in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) already managed on regular immunoglobulin therapy. The role of faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is uncertain. We report a case of recurrent Campylobacter jejuni infection in a patient with CVID treated with repeated FMT with 18 months of symptom resolution prior to relapse.

Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

AbstractObjective:We report a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum of the tongue, a very rare site of occurrence, which was successfully managed with intralesional bleomycin therapy.Method:We present a case report and review of available literature regarding lymphangioma circumscriptum of the tongue and the role of bleomycin therapy.Results:The patient was a 19-year-old man with a long-standing lesion involving the tongue, who presented with spontaneous, episodic bleeding over the previous few months. A diagnosis of lymphangioma circumscriptum was established on biopsy. Intralesional bleomycin injection resulted in successful resolution, and the patient remained asymptomatic over more than one year's follow up.Conclusion:Lymphangioma circumscriptum is usually seen in the extremities and genitals. This case had a very rare site of occurrence, the tongue, and was successfully managed with conservative treatment, using intralesional bleomycin alone.

Abstract Prognosis of ICC with lymph node metastasis is poor. And the feasibility of operation is uncertain, which is a contraindication in NCCN guidelines. In addition, in the neoadjuvant therapy of ICC, the role of immunotherapy is not clear. We describe a case of ICC with lymph node metastasis was successfully treated with neoadjuvant therapy.

Usage Context

The name similarity effect is the tendency to like people, places, and things with names similar to our own. Although many researchers have examined name similarity effects on preferences and behavior, no research to date has examined whether individual differences exist in susceptibility to those effects. This research reports the results of two experiments that examine the role of self-monitoring in moderating name similarity effects. In the first experiment, name similarity effects on brand attitude and purchase intentions were found to be stronger for respondents high, rather than low, in self-monitoring. In the second experiment, the interactive effect observed in the first study was found to be especially true in a public (vs. private) usage context. These findings are consistent with theoretical expectations of name similarity effects as an expression of egotism manifested in the image and impression management concerns of high self-monitors.
