“…Thus comparing our study with other studies we would like to study various clinical presentations of acute abdomen,causes, evaluate the accuracy of imaging studies and to study the effectiveness of conservative management all of which in turn would lead to early and better management of acute abdomen [11][12][13]. Studies on acute abdomen and abdominal pain were reported [14][15][16]…”

Background: Acute abdomen is a condition in which the patient complains of a sudden or gradual attack of abdominal pain over a duration of several hours and presents with a set of symptoms which indicatea life threateningillness that needs an urgent or quick diagnosis for early treatment. Delay in diagnosis will worsen the condition of the patient and can even have a fatal outcome. It is crucial to recognize situations where laparotomy can be avoided in order to bring down morbidity and financial costs. Hence this study is being conducted to evaluate various clinical presentations, accuracy of clinical diagnosis, causes, better imaging studies and effectiveness of conservative management of non-traumatic acute abdomen. Objectives: To study various clinical presentation of non-traumatic acute abdomen. To study the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of non-traumatic acute abdomen To study different causes of acute abdomen. Compare different imaging studies in cases of acute abdomen and to evaluate their accuracy in diagnosing the condition. To study the effectiveness of conservative management (OchsnerScherren regimen) in cases of acute abdomen. Methods: The study will be doneat Dept. of General Surgery, J.N.M.C and AVBRH, Wardha. The duration of the study will be 2 years from September 2020 to August 2022. In this study, 80-100 Patients of acute abdomen attending the routine OPD and Emergency room at AVBR Hospital will be studied. Thorough clinical examination will be done and Patients with Abdominal pain will be categorized according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical findings with Radiological findings will be correlated and the sensitivity of imaging studies in diagnosing acute abdomen will be evaluated. The outcome of conservative management of non-traumatic acute abdomen will be observed. Results: We expectto study various clinical presentations of acute abdomen, causes, evaluate the accuracy of imaging studies and to study the effectiveness of conservative management all of which in turn would lead to early and better management of acute abdomen. Conclusion: Better understanding about presentation, causes, the accuracy of radiological studies and effectiveness of conservative management would help in identification of cases in which laparotomy can be avoided to prevent unnecessary surgery with its associated morbidity and financial burden.

“…It is also interesting to note that the pain progressively lessened across all the following sessions that were conducted. The qualitative feedback had also been informative of the fact that both subjects responded to the treatment with great vigour and we're very open to the idea of continuing treatment under this novel modality [11][12][13][14][15].…”

This article reviews the existing data on the use of augmented and virtual reality in the treatment of post amputation phantom limb pain (PLP) in order to curb the shortcomings of the treatment modality already in place: traditional mirror therapy. PLP is a highly prevalent condition- as high as used in 65%-70% amputees, which has many therapies in place varying from medicinal options such as anaesthetics, drugs that help cure depression and injections of botulism toxin, inter-positional treatments such as stimulation of spinal cord, correctional surgery and more. Visio- dynamic approaches such as reflective surface therapy (mirror) and augmented reality treatments which attempt at normalizing the representation of the amputated limb from the cortex and improving the correlation between the authentic and anticipated sensory feedback. Previous studies have consistently demonstrated the efficacy of traditional therapy using mirrors in post upper limb amputation PLP where a setup with a mirror is used to trick the mind of the patient in making the patient see a reflection of the good limb and exercising it to give the effect of exercise of the amputated limb, however because of its crude setup, it proves to have a few limitations which can be overcome using virtual reality. Virtual reality is integrating in our lives today as video games and simulations. It has a lot of application in diagnosing, prophylaxis and treatment. Virtual reality is a boon to the medical field in the sense that it allows one to visualize and practice endlessly without needing any additional resources. Incorporating VR into the treatment, patient centered holistic care can be achievable and patient's quality of life and satisfaction can be improved.
