Multiple Ipsilateral Inguinal Hernias: More Frequent Than Imagined, If Undetected Source of Discomfort, Pain, and Re-interventions

2014

The article reports the incidence of multiple inguinal protrusions in the same groin in a patient collect who underwent open hernia repair. Multiple ipsilateral inguinal hernias compose an almost neglected topic that, if not identified during hernia repair, could lead to unclear discomfort, pain, and reoperation. A collect of 100 consecutive open anterior inguinal hernia procedures was analyzed. The patients were divided into two subsets-A: patients with a single protrusion and B: patients with more than one protrusion simultaneously arising from the inguinal floor. The single hernias from cohort A and the multiple hernias from cohort B were further categorized using the Nyhus classificatio…

Relationship between carotid intima-media thickness and non valvular atrial fibrillation type.

2015

OBJECTIVE: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and it is able to predict both coronary and cerebral vascular events. No data exist on the association between cIMT and non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) type. We conduct this study with the aim to analyze the association between abnormal cIMT and NVAF type. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of the "Atrial fibrillation Registry for Ankle-brachial index Prevalence Assessment-Collaborative Italian Study (ARAPACIS)" has been performed. Among 2027 patients enrolled in the ARAPACIS, 673 patients, who underwent carotid ultrasound examination to assess cIMT, were included in the study. RESULT…
