Spinal subarachnoid haematoma after spinal anaesthesia: case report
Subarachnoid haematoma after spinal anaesthesia is known to be very rare. In the majority of these cases, spinal anaesthesia was difficult to perform and/or unsuccessful; other risk factors included antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy, and direct ...

VertXNet: Automatic Segmentation and Identification of Lumbar and Cervical Vertebrae from Spinal X-ray Images [PDF]
Manual annotation of vertebrae on spinal X-ray imaging is costly and time-consuming due to bone shape complexity and image quality variations. In this study, we address this challenge by proposing an ensemble method called VertXNet, to automatically segment and label vertebrae in X-ray spinal images.

Cardiac arrest during transurethral resection of the prostate: the overzealous restriction of intravenous fl uids – a possible cause? [PDF]
Cardiac arrest during spinal anaesthesia has been widely reported in literature, with several mechanisms being described. There have so far, however, been no reports of cardiac arrest after spinal anaesthesia during transurethral resection in prostate ...

Spinal anaesthesia for emergency cesarean section in neurofibromatosis for an antepartum haemorrhage: a case report [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease and is usually diagnosed during childhood. Neurofibromatosis are group of genetic disorders that cause tumors to form, which can develop anywhere in the nervous system including brain, spinal ...

The effects of spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section on uterine and umbilical arterial pulsatility indexes in normotensive and chronic hypertensive pregnant women: a prospective, longitudinal study [PDF]
Background: Despite the known effects of neuraxial blockade on major vessel function and the rapid decrease in uterine vascular impedance, it is unclear how the blockade affects the utero-placental circulation in the near-term.

Scoliosis Detection using Deep Neural Network [PDF]
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed among young teenagers. It dramatically affects the quality of life, which can cause complications from heart and lung injuries in severe cases. The current gold standard to detect and estimate scoliosis is to manually examine the spinal anterior-posterior X-ray images.

Management of failed spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section [PDF]
Background. Failed spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section (CS) may be partial or complete and the subsequent discomfort is the most commonly cited cause of litigation in obstetric anaesthesia.Objectives. To determine if there is a standardised approach

Towards Automatic Scoring of Spinal X-ray for Ankylosing Spondylitis [PDF]
Manually grading structural changes with the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) on spinal X-ray imaging is costly and time-consuming due to bone shape complexity and image quality variations. In this study, we address this challenge by prototyping a 2-step auto-grading pipeline, called VertXGradeNet, to automatically predict ...
