Using new technicque in sigmoid volvulus surgery in patients affected by COVID19

Abstract

Introduction Coronavirus pandemic-initiated Wuhan city, Hubei Province, China. It mainly involves respiratory system and cause fever, cough. However, it has other manifestations such as GI system, CNS and skin involvement. It is transmitted mostly through respiratory system, but some researchers claim that in can potentially spread by oral, fecal or intestinal gas. During colorectal surgeries such as volvulus sigmoid, surgeons are at risk of exposure to intestinal gas. Case presentation A 57-year-old mentally retarded man came to our emergency department with complain of abdominal pain, constipation, obstipation, nausea, vomiting and abdominal distention. His vital sign was stable and his laboratory data revealed no abnormality. His abdominal x-ray showed intestinal obstruction with suspicious of sigmoid volvulus. His PCR for COVID 19 was positive and his chest CT scan has manifestations of lung involvement. He was proceeded for surgery. Conclusion Owing to odds of spread of coronavirus through intestinal gas, in this case, sigmoid colon was removed without evacuation of intestinal gas.

Hybrid Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) and Xtreme Gradient Boost for X-ray Image Augmentation and Detection

“…The process of learning GANs is to perform real-time training on both the discriminator and generator networks, which is challenging and requires min-max adjustments for the discriminator and generator. This process is shown in Equation (1) [38].…”

Disease-Aware Chest X-Ray Style GAN Image Generation and CatBoost Gradient Boosted Trees

“…Therefore, the lack of a dataset has driven researchers to do more exploration on the dataset. Therefore, such a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) technique is needed to overcome the dataset's limitation [6][7][8]. In recent research in the Journal of Radiology, X-ray chest imagery is superior to outclassed lab testing such as PCR or rapid tests.…”

Acute retroperitoneal hematoma following severe Covid-19 and the use of anticoagulants

“…In such cases, morbidities, poor prognosis and even mortality is reported. Monitoring thrombotic event through coagulation blood testing such as that of D-dimers and fibrinogen is indicated in such patients to reduce the risk of fatality [ 3 , 4 ]. Cytokine storm and elevation in the production of inflammatory cytokines in the known pathophysiological mechanism behind coagulopathy in COVID19 patients.…”
