Familiar Form

Case reports represent the oldest and most familiar form of medical communication. It is one of the best ways for the beginners to get familiar with scholarly writing. It is the time-honored vehicle for medical teaching. It is also the foundational 'building block' of scientific inquiry. Unfortunately from late 1970s in scientific community there was a tendency to see the case report as least important and a 'second class' publication. The authors tried to find out how this 'fertile seeds' were cultivated and valued by the scientific community. Articles on case reports were collected consecutively by daisy chaining from web and published journals. Many logical arguments are found in favor of encouraging in writing and publishing case reports. There are also issues to be addressed further. Diversified criteria and stylescan be followed. Uniqueness is not the only principle, any information which someone find useful and beneficial in clinical practice can be presented as case report. Facts in a case report can be considered as one of the weakest evidence and should not be considered as anecdotal information. To make others aware of unusual presentationsor complications;case report is the rapid and effective means of communication.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 7, No. 1: Jan 2016, P 50-55

Robust Evidence

Clinical case reports play an important role in supporting evidence-based paramedicine. When research on a topic is limited and there is no robust evidence, a case report may be the best available, especially for rare or unusual presentations or in novel clinical practice. Case reports in paramedicine journals are common. However, adherence to the published consensus-based reporting guideline is rare, which may weaken the evidence arising from this body of case report literature. There is a need for greater awareness of the structured reporting guideline for case reports, and for the development of a paramedicine-specific extension. The objectives of this paper are to: describe the current state of case reports in paramedicine; promote the adoption of an internationally accepted, consensus-based reporting guideline; and propose an extension to that guideline, adapted to the unique characteristics of prehospital practice.

Pathophysiologic Mechanisms

We report on a unique clinical case of psychosis precipitated by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and explore its implications for clinical practice as well as our understanding of these conditions. We describe a clinical case of a 46-year-old male presenting with auditory, olfactory, tactile, and visual hallucinations. We reviewed the literature on reported cases in which psychotic symptoms were treated with stimulant medications for ADHD comorbidity. This case report reveals the potential for properly selected patients to benefit from a consideration of ADHD comorbidity and a trial of treatment with that focus. In addition, the literature reveals a pathophysiologic association between psychosis and ADHD supported by neurobiological data. However, far more research is required to fully understand these conditions and their relationship. We conclude that ADHD and psychosis have some related pathophysiologic mechanisms but their connection has not been adequately explored. This case adds support to literature suggesting that in refractory psychosis, clinicians should re-evaluate the diagnosis and one of the considerations should be ADHD. In certain cases, the presence of psychotic symptoms with ADHD should not exclude the use of stimulants.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been developed to be used as direct adjuncts in orthodontic treatment and have facilitated treatment of more complex orthodontic cases, including patients with dental impaction. Objectives: This clinical case reports the applicability of TADs in the orthodontic treatment of a patient with impacted mandibular second molars. Surgical and orthodontic procedures related to the use of miniplates were also discussed in this study. Conclusions: The use of temporary anchorage devices, such as miniplates, can be suggested as an alternative to treat patients with impacted mandibular second molars.

Orofacial Dyskinesia

SummaryA case report is presented of a 72 year old woman, who has been treated for a depression with amitriptyline. During the treatment an orofacial dyskinesia develloped. Data in the literature concerning a possible link between the manifestation of orofacial dyskinesia and treatment with antidepressants were mainly found to be case reports. A closer study of the total in all of 25 case reports reveals that the antidepressant is often at most one of more possible determinants of the movement disorder. Particularly, it was frequently noted that patients were treated with other drugs or that the use of other drugs was not specified. A controverse exists in the literature whether or not a so called spontaneous orofacial dyskinesia is found in high frequency in elderly people. For clinical practice the advice is given that, in case an orofacial dyskinesia arises during antidepressant treatment, attention should be paid to other provoking factors in the first place.

Resumen: Los casos clínicos son un género propio de las comunidades de profesionales de la salud que se basa en la experiencia clínica de uno o unos pocos pacientes. A diferencia de otros autores, consideramos que tienen una naturaleza principalmente narrativa y que, por lo tanto, se pueden caracterizar por una estructuración en los cinco apartados canónicos de la narración: situación inicial, nudo, (re)acción o evaluación, desenlace y situación final. Verificamos la presencia de estos componentes en un caso clínico prototípico del campo de la neurología, comparándolos con sus análogos en textos provenientes del género reconocidamente narrativo de los cuentos clínicos.Abstract: Clinical case reports are a genre developed within the communities of healthcare professionals and based on the clinical experience of one or a few patients. Unlike other authors, we consider that they have a mainly narrative nature and, therefore, can be characterized by a structure following the five canonical sections of the narrative: initial situation, node, (re) action or evaluation, denouement and final situation. We verify the presence of these components in a prototypical clinical case report from the field of neurology, comparing them with analogous samples of another genre that is widely recognised as narrative: clinical tales.

Structure Evaluation

Clinical case reports can be important sources of information for alerting health professionals to the existence of possible health hazards. Isolated case reports, however, are weak evidence of causal relationships between exposure and disease because they do not provide an indication of the frequency of a particular exposure leading to a disease event. A database of chemicals causing allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) was compiled to discern structure-activity relationships. Clinical reports repre sented a considerable fraction of the data. Multiple Computer Automated Structure Evaluation (MultiCASE) was used to create a structure-activity model to be used in predicting the ACD activity of untested chemicals. We examined how the predictive ability of the model was influenced by including the case report data in the model. In addition, the model was used to predict the activity of chemicals identified from clinical case reports. The following results were obtained: • When chemicals which were identified as dermal sensitizers by only one or two case reports were included in the model, the specificity of the model was reduced. • Less than one half of these chemicals were predicted to be active by the most highly evidenced model. • These chemicals possessed substructures not pre viously encountered by any of the models. We conclude that chemicals classified as sensitizers based on isolated clinical case reports be excluded from our model of ACD. The approach described here for evaluating activity of chemicals based on sparse evidence should be considered for use with other endpoints of toxicity when data are correspondingly limited.

Introduction: Oral pigmentary lesions may have different clinical characteristics, ranging from physiological pigmentation, such as melanin spots, to something more serious, such as malignant melanoma. Due to the great variety of pigmented lesions, the treatments are varied and individualized. Objective: This clinical case reports a case of melanocytic removal through a surgical technique that associates rotary instruments and scalpel blade. Case report: A 45-year-old patient, melanoderma, sought care at the Positivo University, complaining about the dark spots visible on his gum, and the discomfort they caused him when smiling. After the clinical examination, the presence of melanocytic pigmentation was diagnosed and the proposed treatment was surgical removal of spots with a drill and scalpel blade. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient presented good healing and reported only mild burning in the first three days. After 60 days, the gingiva was healed, with no relapsing spots. Conclusion: The technique chosen was effective because it presented adequate healing and absence of relapse of the pigmentation in the postoperative follow-up

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a dermatological disorder seen commonly in clinical practice. Despite its prevalence and benign nature, there are still times when this common disorder presents in an uncommon way or course posing diagnostic or management problems for the physician. The etiopathogenesis of PR has always been a dilemma, and extensive research is going on to elicit the exact cause. This review and case report focus mainly on the difficult aspects of this benign common disorder such as etiopathogenesis, atypical manifestations, recurrent cases, differential diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract Background Homeopathy is frequently and successfully used in daily clinical practice, so there is a need for well-documented case reports that illustrate its effectiveness. For this reason, we present a case in which homeopathy was used to treat an ankle and lower leg for spontaneous acute swelling and redness. Case Report A 54-year-old man presented with recurrence of a swollen left ankle and lower leg, which had previously been treated by conventional medicine. After case taking, a homeopathic treatment with Apis mellifica 200c led to a fast improvement. The patient was free of symptoms within 24 hours and has remained so for 3 years. Conclusion Homeopathic treatment with Apis mellifica led to a fast and long-lasting improvement of an acute ankle swelling and reddening that had recurred after conventional medical therapy of similar symptoms.
