Introduction: Gingival cyst also known as Dental Lamina cyst. They form small nodules or cysts on the alveolar ridge, each up to 2 mm in diameter. They are considered to be due to proliferation of the epithelial rests of Serres but can arise on the lateral aspects of the ridge and the crest. They are considered to be benign lesions which usually are present on the alveolar ridge and are often mistaken as neonatal tooth. Objective: The aim of this case report is to enlist and describe the diagnostic features and management of the gingival cyst of newborn, as these kind of lesions can cause anxiety and fear among the parents. It is important to diagnose these conditions in order to prevent unnecessary surgical interventions and provide adequate care and proper knowledge to the parents. Method: This is a case study of asymptomatic gingival cyst which was present in a newborn at the time of birth on the lower alveolar ridge. Diagnosis of this keratin filled small cystic lesion was made on the basis of clinical history and oral findings. Conclusion: Gingival cyst of infants are transient lesions. No definitive treatment was given but the patient was kept on follow-up for 3 months during which the lesion regressed by itself. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2021; 11 (1): 23-25

Abstract Introduction/Objective IgG4 related disease, a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disorders, can be identified by high% of IgG4 positive plasma cells, thus IgG4 staining in paraffin embedded tissue is widely available in the most of pathology labs. IgG4 staining has been found useful to identify primary MGN (PLA2R and/or THSD7A positive) by others and us. This study was to scrutinize the findings of primary vs secondary MGN needed for IgG4 staining as a screening tool in our renal pathology practice over pasts 5 years Methods/Case Report IgG4 staining in paraffin embedded tissue was performed in 45 primary MGN and 43 secondary MGN after the clinical history was reviewed and a possibility of primary MGN cannot be excluded. In addition, both groups of cases were also stained for PLA2R. Detail correlation with clinical history was analyzed. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) Totally 82 % (37/45) of primary MGN was found diffuse positive for IgG4 staining at 2+ intensity in the glomeruli. Seven out of eight remaining primary MGN cases with either negative or weak IgG4 stained MGN were found to have diffuse resolving features by electron microscopy but there was still positive PLA2R staining in the glomeruli. All secondary MGN were stained negatively for both IgG4 and PLA2R and we found that etiologies of the secondary MGN included membranous lupus nephritis, infection, GVHD, or variants of cancers. Conclusion Our data indicate that IgG4 staining along (without IgG1-3 staining) is a reliable screening tool to confirm the majority of primary MGN vs secondary MGN in paraffin embedded tissue. As both PLA2R+ and THSD7A+ primary MGN are both IgG4 related, the IgG4 staining may potentially represent a wider range of scope in identifying primary MGN. In addition, negative/weak IgG4 staining in PLA2R-positive MGN most likely represents a primary MGN with resolving features.

Abstract Introduction. A 59-year-old male patient with dissection of the thoracic aorta, DeBakey I, Stanford A is presented in this case study. We present his symptoms, his preoperative condition, diagnostic procedures, the surgical procedure and his postoperative treatment at the UC of State Cardiosurgery-Skopje. Case report. The surgery was performed two days after establishment of the diagnosis and more than 3 days (72 hours) after the symptoms occured, due to absence of patient’s consent for the surgery. This resulted in more difficult preoperative condition of the patient, surgical procedure harder to perform, and reduced survival expectations. Preoperative risk of predicted mortality from the cardiovascular surgery calculated according to EUROSCORE was 28.6%. Results. In this case study we also present classification, etiology, pathophysiology, and some statistics about the incidence of thoracic aorta dissection and survival rates emphasizing the increased mortality rate in delayed surgical interventions.

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.

Abstract The article presents a case with diagnosed Hodgkin disease (HD) during pregnancy. The aim of this case study was to present diagnostic possibilities in determining HD stage during pregnancy and therapeutic dilemmas. The incidence of HD during pregnancy is 3.2% of all cases with this malignant hematological disorder. The treatment of this disease during pregnancy depends on disease-related factors, pregnancy-related factors, as well as possible implications for fetal morbidity and mortality. The need of analysis of the nature of the disease during pregnancy indicates examination of a larger series of pregnant women with HD and the drawn conclusions affect the decision whether chemotherapy treatment should start immediately or it should be postponed for after delivery.

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.

Biological Evidence

Increasing numbers of female victims of violent sexual assaults are being murdered with the aim of concealing the identity of the perpetrator. Proper handling and analysis of evidence is very important in gaining a conviction in many criminal cases. After evidence is collected, due precautions must be taken to ensure that the integrity of the sample is maintained, and chances of contamination are minimised. This paper presents a case study where improper handling of biological evidence led to loss of evidentiary value, and the semen could not be located on the vaginal swabs and victim’s garments due to improper preservation of samples. However, the DNA from the nail of a decomposed finger helped identify the victim, and the suspect was apprehended based on the clues given by her family.
