A hernia is a weakness or tear in the abdominal wall muscles that allows internal organs, like intestines, to protrude through. Hernias are commonly found in the groin or upper abdomen and can cause bulges or lumps. While lifting heavy objects is a common misconception as a cause, hernias are often due to genetic weakness or increased abdominal pressure from activities like coughing, straining, or pregnancy. Surgery is the standard treatment to repair the muscle tear and push the organs back into place, preventing complications like strangulation.
A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. Hernias are classified based on their location and type. The most common are inguinal hernias, which occur when abdominal contents bulge through the inguinal canal, and umbilical hernias, which occur when abdominal contents protrude through the abdominal wall near the belly button. Risk factors that increase abdominal pressure and weaken abdominal muscles, such as obesity, lifting heavy objects, and pregnancy, can contribute to the development of hernias.
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. The most common types of hernia are inguinal (inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach).
A condition in which part of an organ is displaced and protrudes through the wall of the cavity containing it (often involving the intestine at a weak point in the abdominal wall)
This document discusses different types of hernias including inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, and diaphragmatic hernia. It provides information on the causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, and management of each type. For inguinal hernia, it describes how the testicles descend in males and how failure of the process can allow intestine to protrude. Umbilical hernia is caused by failure of the abdominal muscles to fully close after birth. Diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect where abdominal organs protrude through an opening in the diaphragm. Surgical repair is often used to treat hernias while ensuring comfort and monitoring for the patient.

This document defines hernia and describes the different types of hernias. It explains that a hernia is an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weak spot in the muscle wall of the cavity it is normally contained within. The most common locations for hernias are the abdominal cavity, inguinal canal, umbilicus, and femoral ring. Symptoms can include a bulge or lump, pain, discomfort, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Hernias are typically diagnosed through physical examination, ultrasound, x-ray, or barium swallow. Treatment options include medical management with a truss or surgical repair through herniotomy, herniorrhaphy, or hernioplasty procedures.
Hernia is an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a defect or weakness in the muscle or surrounding wall of the cavity it normally resides in. There are many causes of hernia including congenital defects, weakened muscles from conditions like pregnancy or obesity, and previous scarring. Hernias are classified by their anatomical location and whether they can be pushed back into place or not. Common types include inguinal, femoral, umbilical, and incisional hernias. Hernias are diagnosed through physical examination techniques like cough impulse and Carnett's sign and treated primarily through open or laparoscopic hernia repair surgery with mesh placement.
A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening in the muscle wall containing it. Hernias are usually harmless but can become strangulated, cutting off blood supply. This is a medical emergency. Factors like obesity, straining, and surgery increase hernia risk. Hernias have three parts: the sac, covering, and contents. Types include inguinal, femoral, umbilical, and incisional. Inguinal hernias are most common in men and come in indirect and direct forms. Uncomplicated hernias are usually repaired surgically by reducing the protrusion and mending the muscle wall weakness. Irreducible hernias also require repair to prevent complications
This document discusses umbilical hernias, which occur when part of the abdominal contents bulge through a weakness in the abdominal wall at the umbilical region. Umbilical hernias are common in infants and can resolve spontaneously, but in adults they often require surgery. The document describes the causes, types, clinical features, and treatment options for umbilical hernias, including both open and laparoscopic surgical repair techniques.
Hernias (as an inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, or spigelian hernia) in which an anatomical part (as a section of the intestine) protrudes through an opening, tear, or weakness in the abdominal wall musculature.
What is hernia:
A hernia is a physical defect and happens when an internal organ like intestine pushes through the week walls of the abdominal or sneaks through an opening in the abdominal muscle or tissue that holds the organs in place which leading the organ to occupy the space under the skin
Types of hernia: a) Umbilical Hernia: Hernia that occurs around your belly button. b) Incisional Hernia: A type of hernia caused by an incompletely-healed surgical wound. c) Femoral Hernia: Caused by fatty tissue or a bowel organs pokes through into the groin towards the top of your inner thigh d) Inguinal Hernia: Occurs When soft tissue bulges through a weak part in the abdominal muscles. e) Lateral Hernia: Hernia that causes a layer of tissue that separates two groups of abdominal muscles f) Epigastric Hernia: Hernia that leads the fat to push through a week area in the walls of the abdomen
Causes of hernia:
All hernias are a result of a plus of pressure and an opening or weakness of muscle in the regions specified in the types of hernia. Sometimes a hernia can be a result of muscle weakness which may be present during the birth, and many a time occurs later in life. Here are a few reasons why the tissues may waken and lead to hernia:
1. Smoking
2. Lifting heavyweight
3. Diarrhoea
4. Constipation
5. Constant Coughing and
6. Constant Sneezing
Symptoms of hernia:
Dull pain in the abdominal area Dull Pain in testicles ( males ) Dull Pain in the pelvis Discomfort in the abdominal region, groin, Unusual BulgeFeeling of strangulation
Treatment of hernia:
There are various treatments of hernia which you can check here on this link: https://www.healinghandsclinic.co.in/hernia-treatment-centre/However, 3D Mesh hernia repair is the best-known treatment for Hernia. It is the most advanced and promising treatment option which covers the hernia from 3 sides. No stitches to fix the mesh, no pain, no scars and negligible reoccurrence rate make it the most advanced technology to treat a hernia.
An inguinal hernia occurs when abdominal contents like the intestine push through a weak spot in the abdominal wall muscles into the groin area. There are two types of inguinal hernias: indirect, which follows the path of the testicles, and direct. A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through the diaphragm. Symptoms include heartburn. Hernias are classified based on their location and can be caused by increased abdominal pressure from obesity, lifting, coughing, or straining. Signs range from a painless lump to an irreducible, tender lump requiring surgery.
Hernia Hiatus is a hernia where part of the stomach protrudes into the chest through the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm. It is often caused by weakening of the diaphragm muscle and esophageal opening, and increased abdominal pressure from obesity, pregnancy, ascites, or heavy lifting. There are two types: sliding hernia where the LES slides through the diaphragm, and rolling hernia where the stomach rolls into a pocket beside the esophagus. Symptoms can include heartburn, pain, bleeding, or strangulation of tissue.
This document discusses different types of hernias including umbilical, inguinal, femoral, and incisional hernias. It describes the causes, symptoms, and characteristics of each type. Umbilical hernias occur through weak abdominal muscles and are common in infants. Inguinal hernias occur in the groin and can be indirect or direct. Femoral hernias occur in the upper thigh near the groin. Incisional hernias occur through weak scar tissue from a previous surgery. The document provides details on causes such as straining, lifting, or obesity and symptoms such as bulges or pain with each type of hernia.
This document discusses hernias, including inguinal, femoral, umbilical, and diaphragmatic hernias. It provides definitions, anatomical details, risk factors, signs and symptoms, and repair techniques. Key points include:
- Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia and can be indirect or direct. Examination involves assessing for cough impulse and reducibility. Surgical repair techniques aim to be tension-free.
- Femoral hernias are more common in women and have a high risk of strangulation due to the narrow femoral canal. They often present as small bowel obstruction.
- Umbilical and epigastric hernias
A hernia happens when an organ or maybe fatty tissue squeezes through a weak
spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia.
Hernias were
once the leading cause of acute intestinal obstruction.
Public alertness of early
repair has markedly reduced the frequency of incarceration of intestine in these
musculofascial defects.
The common sites for these defects, in order of frequency,
are inguinal, umbilical, incisional and femoral. Techniques of repair continue to
evolve but tension-free, mesh repairs are the current standard.
You may have a hernia if you can feel a soft lump in your belly or groin or in a
scar where you had surgery in the past. The lump may go away when you press on
it or lie down. It may be painful, especially when you cough, bend over, or lift
something heavy.
Hernia is the abnormal protrusion or bulging of contents (organ or tissue) of the abdomen through a weakness in the abdominal wall musculature. Hernia is generally seen more in males than in females. Elderly males are the most affected as the abdominal wall musculature due to age. Hernia is also the most common surgical problem encountered in surgical practice.

Hernia is the protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weakness in the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. There are several types of hernia classified by location, contents, and cause. Common hernias in animals include umbilical, inguinal, ventral/abdominal, perineal, and diaphragmatic hernias. Treatment involves surgical repair of the hernia defect, with techniques varying depending on hernia type. For example, diaphragmatic hernia repair may involve laparotomy to access the abdomen followed by herniorrhaphy through either an abdominal or thoracic approach to suture the diaphragmatic defect.
This document provides information about a 55-year-old female patient named Fekrat Ahmad who is being evaluated for a hernia. It defines a hernia as an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a muscle or surrounding wall. It then discusses the causes, types, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, medical and nursing management of hernias. The goal is to identify the type and severity of the hernia in this patient and provide appropriate treatment.
Hernia is caused by a weakening of the muscle tissue that allows an organ to protrude through. Common causes include heavy lifting, constipation, coughing, and nutrient deficiencies. There are five main types of hernias: inguinal (inner groin), incisional (result of surgery), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach). Global Hospitals India is one of the largest hospital chains in India known for organ transplants and advanced care across multiple locations.

In 1958, Ida Jean Orlando began developing the nursing process still evident in nursing care today. According to Orlando’s theory, the patient’s behavior sets the nursing process in motion. Through the nurse’s knowledge to analyze and diagnose the behavior to determine the patient’s needs.
Application of the fundamental principles of critical thinking, client-centered approaches to treatment, goal-oriented tasks, evidence-based practice (EBP) recommendations, and nursing intuition, the nursing process functions as a systematic guide to client-centered care with five subsequent steps. These are assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation (ADPIE).
The nursing process is defined as a systematic, rational method of planning that guides all nursing actions in delivering holistic and patient-focused care. The nursing process is a form of scientific reasoning and requires the nurse’s critical thinking to provide the best care possible to the client
The following are the purposes of the nursing process:
To identify the client’s health status and actual or potential health care problems or needs (through assessment).
To establish plans to meet the identified needs.
To deliver specific nursing interventions to meet those needs.
To apply the best available caregiving evidence and promote human functions and responses to health and illness (ANA, 2010).
To protect nurses against legal problems related to nursing care when the standards of the nursing process are followed correctly.
To help the nurse perform in a systematically organized way their practice.
To establish a database about the client’s health status, health concerns, response to illness, and the ability to manage health care needs.
The document describes the four main components of a physical examination:
1. Inspection involves visual examination of the body part. For the abdomen, it notes the shape, skin abnormalities, masses, and movement with respiration.
2. Palpation uses touch, mostly for the abdomen to check for masses, tenderness, or enlarged organs like the liver or kidneys.
3. Percussion taps the body to determine the size, consistency and borders of organs, and presence of fluid, by the sounds produced.
4. Auscultation listens to body sounds like lungs, heart, intestines using a stethoscope to evaluate frequency, intensity, duration, number and quality of sounds. It can also listen
This document discusses appendicitis, including the anatomy of the appendix, causes of appendicitis, clinical manifestations, complications, and management. The appendix is a small sac attached to the cecum. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, which is the most common reason for emergency abdominal surgery. It can occur at any age but is more common in ages 10-30. Acute appendicitis causes sudden severe symptoms within 48 hours, while chronic appendicitis goes undiagnosed for weeks to years. Symptoms include right lower quadrant pain, fever, nausea, and tenderness. Management involves appendectomy, antibiotics, and postoperative care including monitoring for complications like perforation.
This document discusses hepatitis, including its causes, types, transmission, signs and symptoms, and nursing care. The main causes of hepatitis are viral infections, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, and G. Hepatitis A is transmitted through contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B, C, and D are transmitted through bodily fluids. Common signs and symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Nursing care for hepatitis involves monitoring vital signs, providing bed rest, managing fluids and diet, avoiding toxins, administering medications, and assessing the abdomen and mental status.

Hyperthyroidism.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is defined as a systolic blood pressure over 140 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure over 90 mm Hg. It can be classified based on these levels into normal, prehypertension, stage 1, and stage 2. Primary hypertension, which accounts for 95% of cases, has no identifiable cause and results from an interaction of genetic and lifestyle factors, while secondary hypertension has an identifiable underlying cause. Hypertension often has no symptoms but can sometimes cause headaches, vision problems, chest pain, or other issues. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage organs over time and lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and other complications. Diagnosis involves blood and urine tests and blood pressure monitoring
This document discusses key concepts in medical surgical nursing and the nursing process. It defines health according to the WHO as complete physical, mental and social well-being. It outlines Maslow's hierarchy of basic human needs and defines nursing as focused on maintaining or recovering optimal health. The nursing process consists of 5 steps - assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Assessment involves collecting data on a patient's health needs. Nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about a patient's response to health problems. Planning identifies priorities, goals and interventions. Evaluation determines if goals were achieved.

This document discusses key concepts in medical surgical nursing and the nursing process. It defines health according to the WHO as complete physical, mental and social well-being. It outlines Maslow's hierarchy of basic human needs and defines nursing as focused on maintaining or recovering optimal health. The nursing process is explained as having 5 steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Assessment involves data collection to identify patient needs. Nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about a patient's response to health problems. Planning identifies priorities, goals and interventions. Evaluation determines response to interventions and goal achievement.
The nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS contains the brain and spinal cord, which coordinate sensory input and motor output. The PNS has the somatic nervous system, which connects to skeletal muscles, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions like breathing and digestion. Nerve cells called neurons are the basic building blocks and transmit electrical signals through structures like axons, dendrites, and synapses. The brain is divided into sections that control different functions like movement, senses, and higher thinking. The spinal cord relays signals between the brain and body. The PNS includes cranial and spinal nerves throughout the body
The respiratory system has several functions including breathing, gas exchange, sound production, and smelling. It consists of the upper respiratory tract including the nose, sinuses, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract within the thorax including the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The lungs contain alveoli which are the sites of gas exchange between the bloodstream and body tissues.
The urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter around 180 liters of blood per day to produce around 1-2 liters of urine, removing waste and regulating fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. The basic functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which filters blood to form urine. The ureters then transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, a temporary storage organ. From here, urine exits the body through the urethra upon voluntary muscle control. Together these organs work to maintain homeostasis by filtering waste from the blood and regulating fluid balance.
The skeletal system document discusses the bones that make up the pelvic girdle and lower limbs. The pelvic girdle consists of two hip bones called the coxal bones, which are each made up of three parts - the ilium, ischium, and pubis. These bones connect the lower limbs to the axial skeleton. Each lower limb contains the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones of the ankle, metatarsal bones of the foot, and phalanges of the toes. The document outlines the key features and functions of each of these bones.
The skeletal system consists of 206 bones that provide structure, protection, movement, and support for the body. The axial skeleton includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The thoracic cage (rib cage) surrounds and protects the heart and lungs and consists of ribs, thoracic vertebrae, sternum, and costal cartilages. The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs and consists of the shoulder girdle, upper extremities, pelvic girdle, and lower extremities. The shoulder girdle includes the clavicles and scapulae and provides attachment points for muscles that help move the arms.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

2. HERNIA
Protrusion of an organ or part of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally
contains it.
Common Types Of Hernia
Hiatal hernia: protrudes up through the diaphragm near the esophagus
Epigastric Hernia: between breast bone and navel
Incisional Hernia: in previously incision in the abdominal wall
Umbilical Hernia: weakness in the muscle of umbilicus
Femoral Hernia: abdominal viscera passes through femoral ring
Inguinal Hernia: occur at the inguinal canal in the groin region (where the spermatic
cord in males or the round ligament in females)
- direct Inguinal Hernia: usually occur only in male adults and are caused by a
weakness in the muscles of the abdominal wall that develops over time
- indirect Inguinal Hernia: caused by a defect in the abdominal wall that is congenital,
or present at birth
2
4. General Causes of hernia
Any increases at the pressure of the abdominal cavity may form hernia
like:
- Obesity
- Heavy lifting things
- Coughing or sneezing
- Straining during a bowel movement or urination
- Fluid in the abdominal cavity
- Hereditary
- Pregnancy
4
5. Clinical Manifestation
- An abnormal bulging seen in the affected area especially when straining
or coughing
- discomfort due to tension on tissues around the hernia.
- The herniation may disappear when the patient lies down.
- If the intestinal mass easily returns to the abdominal cavity or can be
manually placed back ,it is called (reducible hernia).
When adhesions or edema occur between the sac and its contents, the
hernia becomes (irreducible hernia)
5
6. Nursing Education to Prevent Hernia
- Not smoking
- Seeing doctor to avoid developing a persistent cough
- Maintaining normal weight
- Avoiding straining during bowel movements or urination
- lifting objects with knees not back
- Avoiding lifting heavy weights
- Wear a support binder when lifting weights
- Eating high-fiber foods to prevent constipation
6
7. The Treatment
Treatment options include
- Observing the hernia
- Using short term support devices
- Surgery to cure the hernia
Emergency surgery for (strangulation or bowel obstruction)
Herniorrhaphy : replacing the contents of the hernial sac, sewing the
weakened tissue, and closing the opening.
Hernioplasty : replacing the hernia into the abdomen and reinforcing the
weakened muscle wall with wire, fascia, or mesh.
Bowel resection or a temporary colostomy may be necessary if the hernia
is strangulated
7
8. Preoperative Nursing Care
- Patients should be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids for two days
before operation.
- Patients should be encouraged to eat foods containing fibers to avoid
constipation and pain after the operation.
- Patients can take laxatives if needed.
8
9. Postoperative Nursing Care
1. Give the patient medications and I.V. fluids as prescribed
2. Check Vital signs
3. Wound care
4. Ice packs and elevation of the scrotum to reduce the swelling
5. Perform deep breathing to keep lungs clear postoperatively, but should avoid coughing.
6. Report difficulty urinating, bleeding, and signs and symptoms of infection, such as
redness, incisional drainage, fever, or severe pain.
7. Avoid lifting, driving, or sexual activities for 2 to 6 weeks
8. Support the wound during sneezing or coughing with raise the head towards the ceiling
