Disease relevance of Hernia

 

High impact information on Hernia

  • CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with midline abdominal incisional hernias, mesh repair is superior to suture repair with regard to the recurrence of hernia, regardless of the size of the hernia [6].
  • Excess gastroesophageal reflux in patients with hiatus hernia is caused by mechanisms other than transient LES relaxations [7].
  • Phleboliths, and especially diverticular disease and hiatus hernia, are rarer in developing countries than in economically more developed communities, but all three conditions were as common in Black as in White Americans [8].
  • Acquired defects of protein C developed after surgery in the patients operated on for malignancies, after major abdominal operations for benign conditions, and also after relatively minor procedures such as appendicectomy and hernia repair [9].
  • In a second group, incisional hernias were repaired with either bFGF or control-rod therapy [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Hernia

  • The first scientific description of this particular hernia was given by August Gottlob Richter in 1778, who presented it as "the small rupture." In 1887, Sir Frederick Treves gave an excellent overview on the topic and proposed the title "Richter's hernia." To his work-a cornerstone to modern understanding-hardly any new aspects can be added today [11].
  • The evolution of this approach during the last 10 years has made it the procedure of choice for the management of all recurrent groin hernias at the University of Illinois College of Medicine [12].
  • Hernias occurred less frequently in those receiving 150 mg/d of raloxifene or CEE (P =.03 vs placebo) [13].
  • In children undergoing myringotomy, hernia repair, tonsillectomy, or other surgery associated with mild to moderate pain, ketorolac provides comparable analgesia to morphine, pethidine or paracetamol (acetaminophen) [14].
  • Luminal diameters of the ductal structures were compared with published normal age-related established vas deferens diameters and with those measured during hernia repair in 10 of our youngest patients [15].
 

Biological context of Hernia

 

Anatomical context of Hernia

 

Gene context of Hernia

  • In addition, our transgenic data indicate that the Hoxb1 gene is expressed in other tissues such as the hernia gut, genital eminence, and lung [26].
  • Changes in CRP levels were significantly higher (P < 0.006) in open hernia patients [27].
  • We conclude that in contrast to the unchanged expression of fibronectin and MMP-1 and MMP-13, the decreased ratios of collagen tpye I/III with the basically increased amount of collagen type III could be of significant importance for the pathophysiology of hernias [28].
  • We obtained samples of FT from patients with direct and indirect hernia and used an immunohistochemical method to determine tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) expression [29].
  • Aim of this study was to evaluate the production of some cytokines [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-1alpha, IL-1ra, interferon (IFN)-gamma] in the drainage wound fluid from patients undergoing incisional hernia repair [30].
