Minimally Invasive Distal Gastrectomy: Evolving Surgical Techniques.

Surgical management of gastric cancer has evolved over the years. Incorporation of minimally invasive techniques has led to shorter hospital stays, reduced wound complications, and earlier return to functional activity. Nevertheless, the development of minimally invasive total gastrectomy as a repertoire in the management of proximal or diffuse gastric cancer requires significant commitment and support owing to the complexity of the procedure.

Wide-field imaging with smartphone based fundus camera: grading of severity of diabetic retinopathy and locating peripheral lesions in diabetic retinopathy.

Aim: To assess the performance of smartphone based wide-field retinal imaging (WFI) versus ultra-wide-field imaging (UWFI) for assessment of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) as well as locating predominantly peripheral lesions (PPL) of DR.

Methods: Individuals with type 2 diabetes with varying grades of DR underwent nonmydriatic UWFI with Daytona Plus camera followed by mydriatic WFI with smartphone-based Vistaro camera at a tertiary care diabetes centre in South India in 2021-22. Grading of DR as well as identification of PPL (DR lesions beyond the posterior pole) in the retinal images of both cameras was performed by senior retina specialists.

Geometric trust-based secure localization technique for resiliency of GPS outage and location error in vehicular cyber-physical systems (VCPS).

Management of vehicle traffic is a challenging task as it is non-deterministic by nature. Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (VCPS) is the emerging field of dynamics of vehicle management. Vehicle localization is considered an important task in VCPS.

Incidence and characteristics of vascular trauma at a level 2 trauma center.

Objective: Despite the significant number of trauma patients treated at level 2 trauma centers (L2TCs) in the United States, most of the literature describing vascular trauma is from level 1 trauma centers (L1TCs). Currently, trauma center designation criteria do not require vascular surgery as a necessary component service.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for all trauma patients with a vascular surgery consultation seen at our L2TC between 2013 and 2018.

An inguinal hernia 'hard to stomach'.

Inguinal hernias containing the stomach are extremely rare, and have never been described in females. We are reporting the case of a 79 year old female who presented in septic shock with a left inguinal hernia containing the stomach, resulting in gastric perforation and loss of abdominal domain. She underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy with manual reduction of the hernia, wedge resection of the perforated gastric segment, abdominal washout, and closure of the abdominal fascia using biological mesh.

Genomic sequence analysis of lung infections using artificial intelligence technique.

Attributable to the modernization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) procedures in healthcare services, various developments including Support Vector Machine (SVM), and profound learning. For example, Convolutional Neural systems (CNN) have prevalently engaged in a significant job of various classificational investigation in lung malignant growth, and different infections. In this paper, Parallel based SVM (P-SVM) and IoT has been utilized to examine the ideal order of lung infections caused by genomic sequence.

Implementation of the pulse rhythmic rate for the efficient diagnosing of the heartbeat.

The mortality rate has risen due to the increase in number of cardiac patients in recent times due to the lack of unawareness of the symptoms. This work mainly aims to detect the anomalies of the rhythmic conditions of the pulse derived from the electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern based on correlation and the method of mapping. As this device is a programmable one and a real-time application wearable system on the wrist which is physically connected to the veins, it continuously monitors the photoplethysmography (PPG) pattern based on certain parameters and rhythmic conditions, it ensures whether the patient is under the safe condition or not.
