A case report of a sigmoid perforation within an inguinoscrotal hernia sac caused by ingestion of a chicken wishbone.

Introduction And Importance: Ingestion of foreign bodies is common and often harmless. However sharp objects like bones can cause intestinal perforations, particularly at anatomical narrowing points. Diagnosis is challenging due to patients' lack of recollection of ingestion and subtle imaging findings.

Visual Analysis of Biomarkers Reveals Differences in Lipid Profiles and Liver Enzymes before and after Gastric Sleeve and Bypass.

Introduction: Bariatric surgery results in both intentional and unintentional metabolic changes. In a high-volume bariatric center, extensive laboratory panels are used to monitor these changes pre- and postoperatively. Consecutive measurements of relevant biochemical markers allow exploration of the health state of bariatric patients and comparison of different patient groups.

Severe arterial thromboembolism in patients with Covid-19.

Introduction: The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged early December 2019 and was recently confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a public health emergency of international concern. Earlier reports have shown coagulopathy in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Main Symptoms And Important Clinical Findings: We present four critically ill Covid-19 patients, who were admitted to our hospital.

Internal Herniation and Weight Loss in Patients after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Purpose: Weight loss is one of the desired outcomes after a gastric bypass, in order to reduce co-morbidity, and even mortality. However, weight loss might contribute to a serious complication: internal herniation (IH). Pre-operative diagnosis of IH is demanding.

A Virtual Reality Video to Improve Information Provision and Reduce Anxiety Before Cesarean Delivery: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Anxiety levels before cesarean delivery (CD) can lead to a negative birth experience, which may influence several aspects of the woman's life in the long term. Improving preoperative information may lower preoperative anxiety and lead to a more positive birth experience.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a virtual reality (VR) video in addition to standard preoperative information decreases anxiety levels before a planned CD.
