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.

Klinische Relevanz

Zusammenfassung Gegenstand und Ziel: Die Aufnahme von Abfällen oder Kadavern durch Hunde als Aasfresser ist nicht ungewöhnlich. Bisher wurden in diesem Zusammenhang vor allem akute gastrointestinale Symptome beschrieben. In der neueren Literatur finden sich jedoch auch Berichte über zum Teil schwere neurologische Störungen. Die Zielsetzung der vorliegenden Untersuchung war die Beschreibung von Rassen-, Altersund Geschlechtsverteilung sowie Symptomen und Prognose bei durch die Aufnahme von Unrat hervorgerufenen Intoxikationen. Untersuchungsgut, Material und Methode: Daten von im Zeitraum Dezember 2003 bis Juli 2007 stationär aufgenommenen Patienten wurden retrospektiv auf Hinweise für eine durch Aufnahme von Unrat ausgelöste Intoxikation untersucht. Ergebnisse: Insgesamt konnten 26 Hunde mit einer “Müllintoxikation” identifiziert werden. Achtzehn Hunde waren weiblich und nur acht männlich. Das mittlere Alter lag bei 4,4 Jahren (6 Monate bis 14 Jahre). Die am häufigsten vertretenen Rassen waren Labrador Retriever (n = 5), Golden Retriever und Jack Russell Terrier (je n = 3). 17 Hunde (65%) zeigten zentralnervöse Veränderungen. Bei 10 dieser Hunde war die Aufnahme von Unrat anamnestisch gesichert. Schlussfolgerungen: Neurologische Störungen konnten bei über der Hälfte der untersuchten Hunde festgestellt werden. In zukünftigen Untersuchungen sollte deshalb zur Identifizierung möglicher auslösender Substanzen besonderer Wert auf eine umfangreiche toxikologische Abklärung solcher Fälle gelegt werden. Klinische Relevanz: Bei plötzlichem Auftreten von zentralnervösen Symptomen sollte auch an Intoxikationen durch die Aufnahme von Unrat gedacht werden. Die Therapie erfolgt soweit möglich durch Dekontamination sowie symptomatisch. Die Prognose ist in der Regel gut.

INTRODUCTION: We compared the physiological responses, psychomotor performances, and hypoxia symptoms between 7000 m and 7500 m (23,000 and 24,600 ft) exposure to develop a safer hypoxia training protocol.METHODS: In altitude chamber, 66 male pilots were exposed to 7000 and 7500 m. Heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation were continuously monitored. Psychomotor performance was assessed using the computational task. The hypoxic symptoms were investigated by a questionnaire.RESULTS: The mean duration time of hypoxia was 323.0 56.5 s at 7000 m and 218.2 63.3 s at 7500 m. The 6-min hypoxia training was completed by 57.6% of the pilots and 6.1% of the pilots at 7000 m and at 7500 m, respectively. There were no significant differences in pilots heart rates and psychomotor performance between the two exposures. The Spo2 response at 7500 m was slightly severer than that at 7000 m. During the 7000 m exposure, pilots experienced almost the same symptoms and similar frequency order as those during the 7500 m exposure.CONCLUSIONS: There were concordant symptoms, psychomotor performance, and very similar physiological responses between 7000 m and 7500 m during hypoxia training. The results indicated that 7000-m hypoxia awareness training might be an alternative to 7500-m hypoxia training with lower DCS risk and longer experience time.Wen D, Tu L, Wang G, Gu Z, Shi W, Liu X.

ABSTRACT Studies of iodine metabolism have been carried out in 15 pregnant women, 33 cases with sporadic goitre and 11 with thyrotoxicosis. A low plasma inorganic iodine was common to the three groups. In pregnancy and sporadic goitre the thyroid clearance of iodine was elevated and the absolute iodine uptake normal. A high thyroid clearance of iodine in thyrotoxicosis was associated with a high absolute iodine uptake. The results suggest that both pregnancy and sporadic goitre are physiological responses to an iodine deficiency state while the iodine deficiency state of thyrotoxicosis is secondary to increased thyroid activity.
