Alam A, Chengappa KNR. Obstructive sleep apnoea and schizophrenia: a primer for psychiatristsObjective:The main objective of this review is to improve psychiatric clinician awareness of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and its potential consequences in patients with schizophrenia. This article will also discuss the diagnosis and treatment options for OSA while considering the significant role psychiatrists can play in facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of OSA.Data sources:Ovid, Medline and PsychInfo databases were searched for articles between 1960 and 2010. Search terms used wereSleep apnoeaorapnoeaandschizophreniaorpsychosis. The number of articles retrieved was 38. Articles were carefully reviewed for any data pertinent to OSA in patients with schizophrenia.Conclusions:OSA is a common disorder that is frequently unrecognised. As a chronic breathing condition, OSA is associated with adverse health outcomes and high mortality. OSA may co-occur with schizophrenia or evolve over time, especially with weight gain. The diagnosis should be considered whenever a patient presents with risk factors or clinical manifestations that are highly suggestive of OSA. Those who report snoring, daytime sleepiness and are obese or have a large neck circumference should be considered for an OSA diagnosis. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment of OSA can reduce daytime sleepiness, improve cardiovascular and other medical conditions, as well as reduce mortality. Psychiatrists can play very important role in suspecting OSA in their patients and making the initial referral. Furthermore, behavioural management, especially promoting weight loss and smoking cessation, are effective components of OSA treatment that psychiatrists are positioned to facilitate with their patients.

Abstract Keratosis lichenoides chronica represents a distinct entity, a rare disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, with clinical manifestations which, although typical, require extensive differential diagnosis. The course of the disease is chronic, progressive, and it is resistant to various treatment options, so despite variations in the clinical picture it is really easier to diagnose than to treat. This is a case report of a male patient in whom the diagnosis of keratosis lichenoides chronica was based on typical clinical picture, repeated biopsies and histopathological findings, course of the disease and poor response to any therapy.

History Of

Chronic knee pain affects 27 million people in the United States and is a leading cause of disability. Seventy percent of the population 65 years or older will have knee pain with radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis, and 12% will have clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis. Chronic knee pain after total knee replacement ranges from 10% to 20%. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) refers to anterior knee pain exacerbated with knee joint loading activities (squatting, kneeling, prolonged sitting, ascending/descending stairs). PFPS is a clinical diagnosis, and treatment is directed toward pain alleviation and restoration of proper biomechanics. Pes anserine syndrome is common in runners, athletes, and individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee. Other risk factors include: female sex and a history of diabetes mellitus, obesity, or arthritis. Knowledge of the common knee pain etiologies, as well as key clinical manifestations, physical exam findings, differential diagnosis, and treatment options for each is important for pain specialists.

Background: A variety of thrower’s exostoses are grouped under the term Bennett lesion, which makes understanding diagnosis and treatment difficult. Purpose: To identify all types of reported thrower’s and overhead athlete’s exostoses and categorize them into a classification system to allow a morphology-based classification. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review of all articles pertaining to Bennett lesions and thrower’s exostosis was performed. The classification and treatments were evaluated to describe the types, proposed causes, diagnosis, and treatment options. Results: A total of 27 studies were included in the systematic review. The anatomic locations referenced in the study demonstrated posteroinferior, posterior, and posterosuperior glenoid lesions. Aggregate radiographic data demonstrated 158 of 306 patients (52%) with a thrower’s exostosis of any type and location. Of these 158 patients with a radiographic lesion, 119 (75%) patients were symptomatic. The locations were posteroinferior in 110 patients (70%), directly posterior in 2 patients (1.3%), posterosuperior in 44 patients (28%), and unknown in 2 patients (1.3%). Avulsed lesions were present in 9 (5.7%) posteroinferior lesions, 0 direct posterior lesions, and 2 (1.3%) posterosuperior lesions. Treatment plans included both nonoperative and operative strategies, but operative intervention was more commonly reported for detached lesions. After operative intervention, only 61% of reported athletes returned to preinjury performance. Conclusion: Based on a comprehensive review of the literature, we identified several anatomic locations for a thrower’s exostosis beyond the classic Bennett lesion. We categorized the reported exostoses into a new classification system for description of location and type (subperiosteal or free fragment) of the thrower’s exostosis, which may be used to study future treatments. Current treatment strategies recommend that surgical treatment of thrower’s exostosis is considered only after exhausting nonoperative management because reported return to sport is variable after surgery. The effectiveness of excision or repair for both subperiosteal and detached lesions has not been established.

Introdução: A anquiloglossia é uma anormalidade de desenvolvimento, dificultando a amplitude de movimentos da língua e impede que esta cumpra a sua função, traduz-se pela inserção anormal do frênulo lingual na região de ápice lingual. Objetivo: Relatar um caso clínico de anquiloglossia parcial sob tratamento de frenectomia lingual convencional para reabilitação. Relato do Caso: Após exame clínico realizou-se antessepsia intraoral com através do bochecho com solução de clorexidina a 0,2% e extraoral com clorexidina a 2%. Posteriormente, sob efeito de anestesia bilateral com Cloridrato de Lidocaína a 2% associado à Epinefrina 1:100.000, laçou-se com fio de sutura seda 3.0 para estabilização pinçou-se com pinça hemostática, então efetuou-se a incisão com lâmina de bisturi nº 15. Em seguida, divulsionou-se com tesoura metzenbaum e a sutura foi feita com fio de sutura seda 4.0. Conclusão: O tratamento é realizado por profissionais como cirurgiões dentistas o qual pode ser realizado por meio de intervenções cirúrgicas, como a frenectomia lingual, que consiste na liberação do frênulo lingual por meio de uma incisão quando parcial. O pós operatório deste procedimento demonstra rápida recuperação e previsibilidade positiva quando associada a tratamento fonoaudiológico para uma reeducação.Descritores: Anquiloglossia; Freio Lingual; Odontologia.ReferênciasVargas BC, Monnerat, LHP, Favilla EE, Pinto LAPF, Gandelmann IHA, Cavalcante MAA.

Abstract Sinonasal neuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumor with a wide variability of clinical manifestations, which may cause diagnostic difficulty and have hindered the progress in understanding the clinical course and improving outcomes of treatment. Patients often present with nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, recurrent epistaxis, hyposmia, or anosmia. Treatment options consist of surgical resection and before or followed radiation and chemotherapy. We present a case report and short literature review about diagnostic, clinical and histological classification and treatment of this tumor. Keywords: neuroblastoma, nasal cavity, diagnostic, classification, treatment.
