Efficacy of Ashwagandha [Withania somnifera (Linn.) dunal] leaf paste in the management of chronic non-healing wound: A case report

Abstract Marjolin’s ulcers (MUs) are one of the most common tumors developed from non-healing wound with chronic inflammation or injury, specially burn scars, over many years. However, the therapy recommendations for MUs are not yet definitive. Here, we presented a case of 60-year-old man with a chronic non-healing infected wound related to MUs in the right knee. And, the wound made a better recovery after treatment with staged operation in combination with skin expansion.

An 88-year-old female presented with non-healing wound of left hip, found to have iatrogenic foreign body. The patient presented at the age of 88 with complaints of a persistent wound of left hip. She had a previous incision and drainage of an abscess on her left hip and subsequently received negative pressure therapy. She underwent a wound exploration and found to have multiple foreign bodies in the wound. While uncommon, iatrogenic foreign body should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis in patient with non-healing wounds. The literature on iatrogenic foreign body is reviewed. Iatrogenic foreign body is an uncommon pathology but should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a non-healing wound.

Pure Tone Audiogram

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.
