The transmesosigmoid hernia is a rare type of sigmoid mesocolon hernia. Its presentation is non-specific and thus hardly ever preoperatively diagnosed. Its diagnosis often requires surgical corroboration. This case report aims to improve on the preoperative diagnosis with a proposed observed sign on CT. All literature reviewed described radiological findings related to the small bowel; thus, features of small bowel obstruction was the “hallmark” of internal hernias. This paper intends to describe the features of the sigmoid mesocolon internal hernias, illustrate and propose a never reported configuration of the sigmoid colon. This sigmoid colon configuration has a resemblance to the omega sign. We intend to present a new hallmark sign, which may serve as a clue in the identification of internal hernias involving the sigmoid mesocolon.

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.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.
