We report a case of right paraduodenal hernia with strangulation of almost the entire small bowel at presentation. Since resection of all bowel of doubtful viability would have resulted in too little residual length to sustain life, a Bogota bag was fashioned using transparent plastic material from an urine drainage bag and the patient monitored intensively for 18 hours. At re-laparotomy, clear demarcation lines had formed with adequate length of viable bowel (100 cm) and resection with anastomosis was done with a good outcome on follow-up, 9 months after surgery. Our description of a rare cause of strangulated intestinal obstruction and a novel method of maximising length of viable bowel is reported for its successful outcome in a low-resource setting.

Dependency parsing is an important task for Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, a mature parser requires a large treebank for training, which is still extremely costly to create. Tibetan is a kind of extremely low-resource language for NLP, there is no available Tibetan dependency treebank, which is currently obtained by manual annotation. Furthermore, there are few related kinds of research on the construction of treebank. We propose a novel method of multi-level chunk-based syntactic parsing to complete constituent-to-dependency treebank conversion for Tibetan under scarce conditions. Our method mines more dependencies of Tibetan sentences, builds a high-quality Tibetan dependency tree corpus, and makes fuller use of the inherent laws of the language itself. We train the dependency parsing models on the dependency treebank obtained by the preliminary transformation. The model achieves 86.5% accuracy, 96% LAS, and 97.85% UAS, which exceeds the optimal results of existing conversion methods. The experimental results show that our method has the potential to use a low-resource setting, which means we not only solve the problem of scarce Tibetan dependency treebank but also avoid needless manual annotation. The method embodies the regularity of strong knowledge-guided linguistic analysis methods, which is of great significance to promote the research of Tibetan information processing.
