- Gallbladder volvulus is a rare condition mainly affecting elderly women, involving a twisted gallbladder that can lead to tissue death due to restricted blood flow.
- Diagnosis is challenging as it mimics cholecystitis, with most cases identified during surgery rather than before.
- In a reported case, a 90-year-old woman with acute cholecystitis underwent robotic-assisted surgery, revealing a severely damaged and twisted gallbladder, which was successfully removed, and she recovered enough to be discharged five days later.
Objectives: The association between the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and adverse mental health outcomes has been well documented; however, little is known about its impact in rural areas of the United States. This study aims to characterize and compare inpatient psychiatric admissions in West Texas before and during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the electronic health records of 1392 inpatient psychiatric admissions from period A (March 13, 2019-July 3, 2019) to period B (March 13, 2020-July 3, 2020).
