ABSTRACT
Covid-19 is a novel pandemic disease with no potential vaccine treatment or medicine, the world is facing currently as of now. The death toll has increased to several lakhs and recovery rate is comparatively very less, was initially spotted in Wuhan (China). This spreads through close contact with people and socializing. The number of infected people varies with different parts of the world In our particular country India we are going through the lock down period which is the only vaccine to promote "social distancing" The hurdle arose due to the widespread of corona is major economy loss in combo with innocent lives. In this manuscript, we are visualizing the dataset which is publicly available to map, differentiate and separate the data in order to segregate the places that are most prone and perform basic regression to identify and predict the increasability of the counts from the dataset.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Increasingly, Onyx is used for endovascular embolization of aneurysms and arterio-venous malformations. Although reports in the literature on the use of Onyx are favourable, there have been so far no reports on the central nervous system (CNS) infection rate after embolisation with Onyx and no recommendations as to the management of these infections. CASE REPORTS: We present two cases of paediatric patients who acquired CNS infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa after Onyx embolisation of AVMs and describe their subsequent management. CONCLUSIONS: Presence of established infection after Onyx embolisation should be dealt with by removal of infected material, administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy and supportive treatment.

We present dramatic images of a lumbo-peritoneal (LP) shunt that has migrated into the posterior fossa. We discuss its successful revision, and review previous reports of LP shunt migration.

We present the results of our initial experience in the use of non-penetrating titanium clips in the closure of spinal dura. A retrospective analysis of case notes of patients identified from the unit database was carried out, limited to adults. A proforma that included demographic details, the diagnosis, the procedure undertaken, whether or not additional dural closure methods were used, the use of bed rest and any complications, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. There were 58 patients with a mean age of 53 years. The commonest diagnoses were meningioma, ependymoma and neurofibroma. Eight patients had additional methods of dural closure used and approximately half the patients had a period of postoperative bed rest. Eight patients (13.7%) had a CSF leak. Our early experience with the use of non-penetrating clips for the closure of the spinal dura is presented. We have found them easy to use, especially in anatomically-restricted spaces and rapid in their application. However, our results have revealed an unexpectedly high complication rate. A further prospective study to evaluate them more fully is planned.
