Clinical Cases

This paper describes two clinical cases of a rare auto-destructive hair pathology trichoteiromania. In the literature a few cases of trichoteiromania are described, it leads to non-cicatricial hair loss as a result of their rubbing and is characterized by splitting and damaging of the hair shaft. The clinical picture features, trichoscopic signs of the disease are presented: foci of baldness in the scalp, hair shafts not more than 1.5 cm long, curved, scaling as a result of scratching the skin. Trichoscopic features: broken hair up to 1,5 сm length, splitting of the distal end of the hair shaft (trichoptilosis), scaling. The data on the differential diagnosis of the disease with other hair pathologies, the possible symptomatic, psychotherapeutic, psychopharmacological treatment of trichoiteromania are presented. These clinical cases are of interest in connection with rare descriptions in the literature, the importance of trichoscopy in the differential diagnosis of alopecia, the possibility of interaction between a dermatologist and a psychiatrist, a psychotherapist are indicated.

Alopecia areata is one of the most common forms of hair loss in children. Meantime, its clinical picture is similar to trichotillomania, thus, it leads to incorrect diagnosis and management. The article provides major differential diagnosis signs for these related forms of alopecia and describes in details trichoscopic features of alopecia areata and trichotillomania.

White piedra is a superficial fungal infection of hair caused by <i>Trichosporon</i> species. It presents clinically as white nodules encasing the hair shafts and may lead to increased fragility. It can usually be differentiated easily from clinically similar conditions based on clinical and microbiologic features. We report a case of white piedra of scalp hair in a 32-year-old female caused by <i>T. ovoides</i>, diagnosed using clinical, trichoscopic, microbiologic and molecular methods. In this case, trichoscopy acted as an interface between clinical and microbiologic examination, obviating the need for hair shaft microscopy. The genus <i>Trichosporon</i> contains 6 species of clinical significance viz., <i>T. asahii, T. asteroides, T. cutaneum, T. inkin, T. mucoides</i>, and <i>T. ovoides</i>, which cannot be differentiated based on their morphologic characteristics. A genotypic identification using molecular methods helped determine the causative species. It was treated successfully with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole.

Cases of thallium poisonings are regularly reported in media. In the present work, the world experience in diagnostics and treatment of victims with thallium poisoning has been compiled and summarized, search for clinical guidelines for the diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation of patients has been carried out. The toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, as well as pathophysiological mechanisms of thallium influence on the body are described in detail. Toxic and lethal concentrations of poison in biological media, as well as its tropicity to various tissues and body systems were determined. The clinical picture depending on the timing of poisoning and the dose of poison is described in detail. Difficulties of the differential diagnosis are defined. The most interesting cases of criminal and household poisonings with various terms of establishment of the diagnosis, doses of poisoning and outcomes are presented.

The peculiarities of the clinical picture and diagnosis of uncoronarogenic lesions of the myocardium in a period of 5 years are studied. The differential diagnosis of cardiomyopathies and myocardial dystrophies is performed, emphasizing the informativity of contrast and transesophageal echocardiography. Registration of electrocardiographic and echocardiographic data allows to choose among patients the persons demanding the expanding cardiologic examination that provides early diagnosis of latent forms of cardiomyopathies.

Symptoms Of Depression

AbstractMany endocrine disorders present with symptoms of depression, thus differentiating primary depressive disorders from such endocrine conditions can be challenging. Awareness of the typical clinical picture of endocrine disorders is of primary importance. This article discusses a variety of common and uncommon endocrine disorders and the symptomatology that might suggest a depressive illness, and reviews literature on how endocrinopathies can mimic depression. Emphasis is also placed on the role that stress can play in the pathogenesis of endocrine disorders. Psychiatrists should be familiar with the range of presenting symptoms for endocrine disorders, and they should not rely on the presence or absence of stressors to guide their differential diagnosis between depression and endocrine disorder.

Before Sjaastad coined the term cervicogenic headache (CH) 15 years ago, neck-related headaches have been considered by different authors for many years. Even after the publication of diagnostic criteria, dispute on the clinical picture, differential diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of CH still persists. A paper published in 1949 by Josey reports on 6 "illustrative" cases of cervical-related headaches. Indeed, looked from a more recent perspective, those cases could eventually correspond to CH. Important topics such as the relatively high frequency, fixed unilaterality of the pain, relation to previous trauma, irradiation from the back to the forehead, normal or slightly abnormal roentgenograms, and the mechanical precipitation of attacks are some of the topics considered by Josey. The female gender was not prevalent in Josey's series. Traction and analgesics were basically the recommended treatment. CH is probably a common disorder, an idea already considered by a clinician in 1949. This syndrome was not adequately described before Sjaastad's group papers in the 80's.
