    Abstract Objective: To examine the association of tinnitus distress, tinnitus magnitude and psychopathological symptoms among patients with ear-related problems.
    Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from December 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021, at the Hearing and Balance Clinic, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in collaboration with the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised adult tinnitus patients of either gender. All patients underwent ear examination and audiological evaluations for tinnitus matching. Psychological assessment was done using the Tinnitus Magnitude Index, the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire and the Symptoms Check List-90. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
    Results: Of the 159 subjects, 97(61%) were male and 62(39%) were females. The overall mean age was 47.94±17.47 years. Patients showed statistically significant tendency to develop psychopathological symptoms, including somatisation, phobic anxiety, depression and paranoid ideation (p<0.05). Additionally, significant gender differences were also observed (p<0.05).
    Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of tinnitus distress along with psychopathological symptoms among tinnitus patients.

    Abstract Ablation of atrial fibrillation most commonly involves the pulmonary veins; however, the superior vena cava (SVC) is an important potentially arrhythmogenic structure that should not be overlooked. This case report demonstrates an excellent example of triggering activity localized to the SVC and the subsequent conversion to sinus rhythm with ablation of the SVC.

    Abstract Introduction: The management of patients with conduction disease and supraventricular arrhythmias presents a multitude of clinical challenges.Intra-Hisian block, a condition characterized by delayed or blocked electrical conduction within the His bundle, can result in debilitating symptoms, such as syncope or presyncope. This case report aims to elucidate the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations that were taken in a patient who presented with recurrent syncopal episodes that corresponded to atrial flutter (AFL) and subsequently underwent cavotricuspid isthmus ablation.
    Case presentation: A 65-year-old male with paroxysmal AFL and a pre-existing right bundle branch block and left anterior fascicular block (RBBB+LAFB) experienced recurrent syncopal episodes that were found to be correlated with AFL episodes. Following CTI ablation, an electrophysiology study (EPS) revealed a prolonged HV interval of 101ms, which indicated potential conduction abnormalities. With coronary sinus pacing, an intra-Hisian delay of 211ms was observed. During instances of atrioventricular block, intra-Hisian delay was evident on conducted beats, followed by intra-Hisian block on non-conducted beats. Ultimately, the patient's syncopal episodes prompted the placement of a dual-chamber pacemaker, which resulted in the resolution of symptoms.
    Conclusion: Intra-Hisian block is a condition that is often associated with delayed or blocked electrical conduction within the His bundle. When symptomatic, patients often present with syncope or presyncope. Etiologies of this condition include degenerative changes, myocardial infarction, autoimmune disorders, infections, medications, and more. This case emphasizes the importance of electrophysiology studies (EPS) in the diagnosis and management of patients with intra-Hisian block. Prompt intervention, such as the placement of a dual-chamber pacemaker, can alleviate symptoms and improve patient outcomes. Thus, clinical awareness and utilization of EPS can aid in accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection for patients with conduction abnormalities and supraventricular arrhythmias.cuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation.

    Abstract Vitiligo is a depigmenting skin disease that can carry significant psychosocial impact. Health care providers play a crucial role in shaping patients' understanding of their condition, approach to treatment, and coping mechanisms. In this contribution, we review the psychosocial aspects of vitiligo management, including the debate over the "disease-ification" of vitiligo, its effects on quality of life and mental health, and methods to holistically assist affected individuals beyond just treatment of the vitiligo itself.

    Abstract Evidences related to neuropsychological impact of COVID-19 and its long-term side effects are beginning to emerge that may take years to catalogue the number of diseases and their treatments. Nonetheless, as neuropsychologists are evaluating COVID-19 survivors, a debate related to the psychiatric and neurocognitive sequels of past outbreaks, along with the recurrent co-occurrence of PTSD and acquired brain injuries, may be enlightening. This paper is highlighting the emergence of mental health issues that can be addressed and treatments can be provided according to the need of time. Technology has also been increasing day by day according to the current needs of public. COVID-19 crisis has now shifted the focus towards the role of digital health care. For ensuring the best and right use of tele-health and app tools in such crises, it is suggested that there is a need for training of mental health professionals to ensure proper protocols for improved efficacy.

    Abstract Dermatology residency programs are among the most competitive residencies of medical specialties. To navigate this competitive process, students seek advice from dermatology mentors who provide a range of responses depending on their experience or preferences. To consolidate this range of advice, we surveyed members of the Association of Professors of Dermatology (APD) on their responses to common questions from medical students regarding quantity of program applications, research gap year, internship year, letters of intent, away rotations, letters of recommendation (LORs), and the new Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) supplemental application. Although recommendations given to students remain individualized, our study describes the range of advice received and details the differences between mentor advice and common student practices throughout the application cycle. We hope these data will help mentors in advising students as well as inform organizations seeking to create standards and official recommendations regarding aspects of the application process.
