Many aspects of our life are affected by technology. One of the most discussed advancements of modern technologies is artificial intelligence. It involves computational methods which in some way mimic the human thought process. Just like other branches, the medical field also has come under the ambit of artificial intelligence. Almost every field in medicine has been touched by its effect in one way or the other. Prominent among them are medical diagnosis, medical statistics, robotics, and human biology. Medical imaging is one of the foremost specialties with artificial intelligence applications, wherein deep learning methods like artificial neural networks are commonly used. artificial intelligence application in dermatology was initially restricted to the analysis of melanoma and pigmentary skin lesions, has now expanded and covers many dermatoses. Though the applications of artificial intelligenceare ever increasing, large data requirements, interpretation of data and ethical concerns are some of its limitations in the present day.
Interscalene block is commonly associated with reversible ipsilateral phrenic nerve block, recurrent laryngeal nerve block, and cervical sympathetic plexus block, presenting as Horner's syndrome. We report a very rare Pourfour Du Petit syndrome which has a clinical presentation opposite to that of Horner's syndrome in a 24-year-old male who was given interscalene block for open reduction and internal fixation of fracture upper third shaft of left humerus.
Inferior venacaval compression is a common problem in late pregnancy. It can also occur due to compression of inferior venacava by abdominal or pelvic tumors. We report a case of acute iatrogenic inferior venacaval compression due to excessive abdominal packing during an intraabdominal surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
