ABSTRACT Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a syndrome with wide variety of manifestations ranging from oral lesions to skeletal deformities. It calls for due responsibility of maxillofacial surgeon to diagnose the syndrome because very often they are the first health professionals to see the patient for the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumor. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) has been the topic of numerous investigators and is known for its potentially aggressive behavior and significant rate of recurrences. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor often occurs as a solitary lesion, and in some instances multiple keratocysts may occur in association with a syndrome called Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma, jaw cyst bifid rib basal cell nevus syndrome). Here, we present a case of multiple keratocysts in the mandible in association with skeletal, ocular and cutaneous anomalies in the given clinical scenario which has profound relevance in the clinical dental practice.

AbstractBifid rib presents usually as an isolated and asymptomatic finding on x-rays and cadaveric dissections. This may be due to atypical process of segmentation of developing somites. Sometimes it may occur with other malformations. Aim of the case report presented here was to give a description of the characteristics ofbifidrib and to look for any associated abnormalities. During routine dissection, bifid rib was found in thoraco-abdominal region of a male cadaver. The dimensions of the bifid rib were measured with digital vernier calliper of resolution 0.01mm and photographed using a digital camera. Survey of other regions of the cadaver was done by dissection. Bifurcation of anterior part of right third rib enclosing an additional intercostal space was found. Follow-up dissection in other regions of the cadaver revealed characteristics of Crohn's disease of jejunum, ileum, and transverse colon and signs of dysmorphism of both the kidneys. The knowledge of such variations will be of use to the clinicians, radiologist and anatomist to investigate any incidental bifid rib finding.

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.

Real-time amplitude contour and spectral displays were used in teaching speech production skills to a profoundly deaf, nonspeaking boy. This child had a visual attention problem, a behavior problem, and a poor academic record. In individual instruction, he was first taught to produce features of speech, for example, friction, nasal, and stop, which are present in vocalizations of 6- to 9-month-old infants, and then to combine these features in syllables and words. He made progress in speech, although sign language and finger spelling were taught at the same time. Speech production skills were retained after instruction was terminated. The results suggest that deaf children are able to extract information about the features of speech from visual displays, and that a developmental sequence should be followed as far as possible in teaching speech production skills to them.

On page 112 of the report by Wilson, Oldring, and Mueller ("Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Dissection: A Case Report Involving Return of Spastic Dysphonia after Initial Surgery," pp. 112-118), the paraphrase from Cooper (1971), "if the patients are carefully selected and are willing to remain in therapy for a long period of time," was inadvertantly put in quotation marks.
