False Diagnosis

Objective: To explore the possibility of false diagnosis and threat to health. Methods: In  the  present  study,  a  case  history  of  23-year–old  lactating  woman  was  taken.  Seventy-two  test  parameters  were  examined  at  SRL  Lab Gurugram and Thyrocare Mumbai on alternative days from different location under variable climatic and family environment. Results: The tests report of SRL lab was abnormal in range in compare to the reports of Thyrocare Lab. Conclusion: The present study is expected to attract the attention of people who may be in the position of acquiring health services. In such approach,  incidence  of  false-positive  laboratory  reports  either  due  to  technical  errors  or  patient  own  conditions  is  thought  to  misguide  a  clinician  who  may  prescribe wrong medicines to the patient. This type of mistake may invite unwanted and life-threatening threats to the patients’ body if inappropriate  or wrong drugs are given to the patient. Through this study, it is now suggested to be cautious and should verify before taking any drugs suggested by  clinicians.  Once  a  diagnosis  is  confirmed  and  considered  repeatedly,  the  development  of  adverse  health  effects due  to  unwanted  drugs  can  be minimized.

This chapter examines phobia as a question of psychoanalysis itself, a means to assess its complex and problematic conditions of possibility. In 1929, Alfred Adler produced a case study of ‘Miss R.’ in which he analysed her lupus phobia. Lupus is an auto-immune disease that reached its heights during the nineteenth century. Found at the crossroads between the sprawl of the city and the birth of the clinic, lupus’s historic arc reflects the early history of psychoanalysis. Adler associates Miss R.’s phobias with a desire to avoid her own inferiorization within the family and a fear about life on the outside. The case study offers a clue to the relationship between analyst and analysand: Adler interprets the young girl’s behaviour in terms of an egotistic desire to hold centre-stage; yet the case history is constructed out of extemporized remarks made before a captive audience, presumably to show off Adler’s analytic brilliance (in contrast to Freud’s, whom he takes every opportunity to disparage). We wonder whether Adler might be talking about himself as much as Miss R., and the case study begins to offer some insights not only into the split with Freud in 1911 but indeed the resistances of psychoanalysis itself.

Electrical and Music Industries (EMI) has been a leader in the music industry for almost eighty years. Indeed, the predecessor companies precede EMI by an additional twenty years. Remaining in a leadership position for so long requires leadership, foresight, and a good deal of luck. The following case reviews the history of EMI from 1931 to the present. As a case study, one can learn how adaptation and planning can lead to continuing success.

Transmetatarsal Amputation

The effect of diabetes on the lower extremity can be devastating. Surgical intervention on the diabetic foot must be carefully planned, and long-term results must be anticipated. The authors present a case history of a patient with multiple previous amputations of the forefoot, resulting in a severe deformity and a nonfunctional foot. Transmetatarsal amputation, if performed correctly, should provide a relatively functional extremity.

AbstractPenetrating brain injuries by nails are rare. These usually have been reported as work-related accidents such as from falls or nail gun misfires and in cases of assault. The authors present a case of a 38-year-old psychiatric patient who attempted suicide by self-impalement of nail in the vertex near the midline of the head. Surprisingly, he was asymptomatic after a brief loss of consciousness, and with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 15. There was no history of vomiting or seizures. Intraoperative and postoperative periods were uneventful. Many unusual intracranial foreign bodies have been reported in medical literature, but one of a self-inflicted intracranial injury by hammering a nail is rare. In this article, the authors describe their case report and discuss the challenges encountered in the management of a patient with intracranial injuries by nail, along with a brief review of literature.

This paper gives a case history of a transfer of technology from the university sector to the private sector. The particular example chosen is a speech transcription system. This is a specific example of the problems of trying to commercialize a product which has been developed in the university sector, but there are a number of more generally applicable lessons which can be learned from the case study. The paper illustrates some of the pitfalls which can occur and underlines how the constraints of academic life and those in the commercial sector have both advantages and disadvantages in this difficult exercise.

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.
