Trans-catheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement in a patient on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report.

Background: Bioprosthetic mitral valves on average have a median durability between 8 and 10 years. After the failure of a bioprosthetic valve, surgical replacement is often indicated. However, the options for those patients at high or prohibitive surgical risks are limited.

Amelioration of trichotillomania with onabotulinumtoxinA for chronic migraine.

We report a case of a woman in her 30s who struggled with a life-long history of trichotillomania (TTM; hair-pulling disorder), which was unsuccessfully treated with behavioural therapy and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. In addition to TTM, our patient had a history of chronic migraine which brought her to our clinic, and treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA (OBTA) was initiated per the Phase III REsearch Evaluating Migraine Prophylaxis Therapy protocol. After experiencing improvement with migraine symptoms, she began off-label treatment with OBTA for her TTM with 45 units being injected, 5 units per site, in diffuse regions of her scalp, primarily on the affected areas of TTM-induced alopecia.
