Aim of this study was to investigate the subtypes and pain severity of different types of primary headache in hospital setting.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study with 200 sample size. Includes patients with Primary headache in department of Psychiatry, MGMMC, Indore. Patient aged between 18-65 years, both gender.

ABSTRACT
The epidermoid cysts are the most common cutaneous cysts and may develop from any parts of the human body. Primary epidermoid cyst with hypospadias in the penis is very rare. Here, we present the case of a slow growing, mobilized; non-tender frenulum of the penis mass in a 44-year-old male patient. Complete excision of the cyst was performed under spinal anesthesia. Histopathological examination confirmed the mass to be an epidermoid cyst. Care must be given during examination to rule out another entity. If there is any indication, complete excision and hypospadias repair is the best treatment
ABSTRACT
Pigmentation is a well-recognized complication of minocycline use. This is the first reported case of ossicular chain pigmentation as a consequence of this drug. Isolated pigmentation of the lenticular process of the incus bone was noted. The structural integrity and function of the ossicular chain was not influenced by these changes.
ABSTRACT
Aim: To describe hearing loss in patients with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and tarda. Methodology: A literature review of the National Library of Medicine's online database on hearing loss in patients with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and tarda was performed. Results: Four articles were identified that reported hearing loss in subjects with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and tarda. Including this study, a total of fourteen patients with hearing loss are reported. Eight patients with sensorineural loss and two patients with mixed hearing loss were identified. The type of hearing loss is unknown in 4 cases. Conclusion: Serial audiograms are recommended early in life in individuals with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and when clinically indicated in patients with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda.
