    Abstract Introduction: De Garengeot's hernia is rare and describes a femoral hernia containing the vermiform appendix. Pre-operative diagnosis is at times difficult and operative intervention can prove challenging.
    Presentation of case: We report a case of a 75-year-old woman with a swelling to the right groin for over 10 years which increased in size and became intermittently painful over a period of two weeks. Patient stated that an earlier consult was not sought as she had concerns about having to stay in hospital with the ongoing global pandemic and her significant cardiac history. Ultrasound and contrast enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) revealed typical radiological features of an inflamed appendix herniating through the femoral canal.
    Discussion: Due to its rarity a preoperative diagnosis of a de Garengeot hernia may be difficult. There is currently no consensus to surgical approach in this setting, management is widely varied and based on the preference and expertise available during these emergency procedures.
    Conclusion: The de Garengeot hernia though uncommon should be recognised as a differential when faced with an incarcerated femoral hernia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case that combines ultrasound, CT findings and a preperitoneal surgical intervention.

    Abstract Rapunzel syndrome is rare and describes a trichobezoar that extends through the pylorus into the jejunum, ileum or even the colon. Due to the large intraluminal size and weight they can attain, acute presentations of obstruction or perforation may occur. We report a case of a 17-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department following a syncopal episode. On examination, a left upper quadrant mass was appreciated with no signs of peritonism. Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated a giant trichobezoar with resulting gastric perforation and intra-abdominal free fluid. Laparotomy and gastrotomy were performed and the patient had an uneventful recovery with psychiatric review prior to discharge. Though uncommon, bezoars should be included in our differential diagnosis as they can present in various ways owing to their size and weight. This case illustrates the risk of gastric perforation with large gastric bezoars.

    Abstract Endometrial receptivity and thickness play an important role in achieving a pregnancy. Intrauterine autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion has been used in infertile women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and thin endometrial lining thickness (EMT). Literature search was performed in PubMed for studies including in vitro, animal, and human studies as well as in abstracts presented at national conferences. Animal studies demonstrated a decrease in the expression of inflammatory markers and fibrosis, and increased endometrial proliferation rate, increased expression of proliferative genes, and increased pregnancy rates. The in vitro studies showed that PRP was associated with increased stromal and mesenchymal cell proliferation, increased expression of regenerative enzymes, and enhancement in cell migration. In infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology, one randomized clinical trial showed that PRP intrauterine infusion improved EMT, implantation rate, and clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) in patients with thin EMT, while 3 other trials involving subjects with RIF showed conflicting results related to CPR. Case series and cohort studies showed conflicting results pertaining to CPR. Data to date suggest that PRP may be beneficial in improving endometrial thickness and endometrial receptivity. However, further large prospective and high-quality trials are needed to assert its effect and to identify the population of patients that would benefit the most.

    Abstract Ultrasound-based assistive tools are aimed at reducing the high skill needed to interpret a scan by providing automatic image guidance. This may encourage uptake of ultrasound (US) clinical assessments in rural settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where well-trained sonographers can be scarce. This paper describes a new method that automatically generates an assistive video overlay to provide image guidance to a user to assess placenta location. The user captures US video by following a sweep protocol that scans a U-shape on the lower maternal abdomen. The sweep trajectory is simple and easy to learn. We initially explore a 2-D embedding of placenta shapes, mapping manually segmented placentas in US video frames to a 2-D space. We map 2013 frames from 11 videos. This provides insight into the spectrum of placenta shapes that appear when using the sweep protocol. We propose classification of the placenta shapes from three observed clusters: complex, tip and rectangular. We use this insight to design an effective automatic segmentation algorithm, combining a U-Net with a CRF-RNN module to enhance segmentation performance with respect to placenta shape. The U-Net + CRF-RNN algorithm automatically segments the placenta and maternal bladder. We assess segmentation performance using both area and shape metrics. We report results comparable to the state-of-the-art for automatic placenta segmentation on the Dice metric, achieving 0.83 ± 0.15 evaluated on 2127 frames from 10 videos. We also qualitatively evaluate 78,308 frames from 135 videos, assessing if the anatomical outline is correctly segmented. We found that addition of the CRF-RNN improves over a baseline U-Net when faced with a complex placenta shape, which we observe in our 2-D embedding, up to 14% with respect to the percentage shape error. From the segmentations, an assistive video overlay is automatically constructed that (i) highlights the placenta and bladder, (ii) determines the lower placenta edge and highlights this location as a point and (iii) labels a 2-cm clearance on the lower placenta edge. The 2-cm clearance is chosen to satisfy current clinical guidelines. We propose to assess the placenta location by comparing the 2-cm region and the bottom of the bladder, which represents a coarse localization of the cervix. Anatomically, the bladder must sit above the cervix region. We present proof-of-concept results for the video overlay.

    Abstract This chapter is meant to (1) review classical methods used to characterize and classify microbes and (2) introduce new molecular methods used in microbial characterization. The fundamental composition of microbes is discussed as well as their importance in classification of microbes into genus and species. Classical microbiological methods in general seek to define the common features of specific bacterial groups as a means of classification and identification of microbes. Thus, the focus was to describe the common features which discriminated closely related groups of organisms. In contrast, the newer molecular methods often seek to expand the classification of microbes not only as a means to organize microbial phylogeny but also to differentiate signatures between microbes identified within a species in greater detail. Molecular biology tools are used both as an adjunct to established methods and as replacement for classical methods for detection, discrimination, or identification of bacterial and viral species.

    Abstract Background: Shifts in public health infrastructure to respond to one emerging health threat may have unanticipated consequences for preexisting diseases. Previous research evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been conducted nationally, with little exploration of the impact on a granular geospatial level. This ecological study seeks to quantify the association between COVID-19 cases or deaths and chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases for all US counties in 2020.
    Methods: Separate, adjusted multivariable quasi-Poisson models with robust standard errors modeled the county-level association between 2020 COVID-19 cases and deaths per 100,000 and 2020 chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis cases per 100,000. Models were adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics.
    Results: Every 1000 additional COVID-19 cases per 100,000 was associated with a 1.80% increase in the average number of chlamydia cases ( P < 0.001) and a 5.00% increase in the average number of gonorrhea cases ( P < 0.001). Every 1000 additional COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 was associated with a 57.9% increase in the average number gonorrhea cases ( P < 0.001) and a 74.2% decrease in the average number of syphilis cases ( P = 0.004).
    Conclusions: Higher rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths were associated with increased rates of some STIs at the US county level. The underlying reasons for these associations could not be established by this study. The emergency response to an emerging threat may have unanticipated influence on preexisting diseases that varies by level of governance.
