Introduction: Giant inguinoscrotal hernias (GIH), defined as hernias extending below the inner thigh midpoint in a standing position, are rare and often seen in resource-limited settings due to delayed medical care. These hernias pose surgical challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where standardized management protocols are lacking, and risks such as cardiorespiratory compromise are significant.
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with a large, irreducible right inguinoscrotal hernia of 1.
Background: Intrabdominal pressure (IAP) is an important parameter. Elevated IAP can reduce visceral perfusion, lead to intraabdominal hypertension, and result in life-threatening abdominal compartment syndrome. While ingestible capsular devices have been used for various abdominal diagnoses, their application in continuous IAP monitoring remains unproven.

Objectives: To determine the accuracy of emergency physicians (EPs) in diagnosing pneumoperitoneum with POCUS, and if the volume of pneumoperitoneum affects accuracy.
Methods: POCUS clips were obtained from patients undergoing intraperitoneal insufflation for an elective laparoscopic procedure. Video clips of the right upper quadrant and epigastric regions were obtained prior to insufflation and then after 500 ml, 1000 ml, and 1500 ml of insufflation.

Objective: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common procedure for gallbladder diseases, but many patients experience shoulder pain due to pneumoperitoneum. This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of warm carbon dioxide gas insufflation versus local heat application in reducing shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We also examined changes in body temperature during surgery and postoperative shivering in the intervention and control groups.

Advances in machine learning and computer vision technologies have led to the development of several artificial intelligence (AI) tools to detect abnormalities on CXRs, which may expand diagnostic support to a wider field of health professionals. There is a paucity of evidence on the impact of AI algorithms in assisting healthcare professionals (other than radiologists) who regularly review CXR images in their daily practice.
