Overdose Patient

1 A case report on a 13-year-old girl with idiopathic grand mal epilepsy who ingested 34 g carbamazepine (CBZ) and 80 mg clonazepam is presented. 2 The patient survived but suffered severe temporary neurological toxicity characteristic of CBZ. 3 CBZ was 79.6 ± 2.8% bound to serum protein and carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (CBZ-E) binding was essentially concentration dependent. 4 CBZ and CBZ-E elimination half-lives were 26 and 16.5 h respectively. An inhibitory metabolic interaction with the co-ingested clonazepam is suggested.

A 3 ½-year-old girl was incarcerated in a bamboo cage after it was feared she had contracted rabies. Six years later, when she was released, she had lost almost all motor control, displayed a number of stereotypies, was incontinent of both faeces and urine, and was diagnosed as having grand mal epilepsy. After four years of treatment (aged 13) she had shown considerable improvement and her mental age was seven years.

A patient with chronic respiratory failure and cor pulmonale was admitted to hospital with an exacerbation of cardiac failure. In attempting to control cardiac failure, intensive diuretic therapy resulted in the development of dehydration, alkalosis, grand mal convulsions and signs of a left hemiparesis. Correction of the electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities resulted in complete neurological recovery. Mechanisms of production by diuretics and the treatment of non-respiratory alkalosis is discussed.

Background: Among all joint dislocations, dislocations of the shoulder are the most common. Although posterior shoulder dislocation is infrequent, it is more common following seizures. Trauma, electrocution, and seizures can cause bilateral shoulder dislocation. Anterior shoulder dislocations can be accompaniment by greater tuberosity (GT) fractures, Bankart fractures, and other complications such as rotator cuff tears and neuro-vascular injuries. Case Report: This article describes a 19-year-old boy who suffered from bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation due to an episode of generalized seizure, which happened after taking tramadol. Conclusion: Any sign of shoulder pain in a patient who has experienced a generalized tonic-clonic seizure should warrant full radiographic evaluation to prevent the complications.

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.
