Journal ArticleDOI
Inguinal hernia: aetiology, diagnosis, post‐repair pain and compensation
TL;DR: Background: Inguinal hernia compensation depends on aetiology, diagnosis and complications, particularly post‐hernia pain, which new studies in these three areas bring confusion to claims.
Book ChapterDOI
Epidemology of Hernias in the Female
TL;DR: It is surprising that females do not develop more hernias than males, given the great increases in intraabdominal pressure seen in pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of abdominal wall hernia in participants with abdominal aortic aneurysm versus peripheral arterial disease--a population-based study.
Rajmony Pannu,Ian R. McPhail +1 more
TL;DR: An association between abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and hernias, possibly related to connective tissue weakness, is evaluated using peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients as controls in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hernias- Is it a primary defect or a systemic disorder? Role of collagen III in all hernias- A case control study
TL;DR: This study signifies that ventral, recurrent and primary inguinal hernias are not just caused because of a primary defect but an acquired disorder with respect to collagen distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon-fibre versus Marlex mesh in the repair of experimental abdominal wall defects in rats
A. E. P. Cameron,D. E. M. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, large abdominal wall defects were created in Porton-Wistar rats and either left unrepaired (9 rats), or repaired with polypropylene (Marlex) mesh, or with an open darn of filamentous carbon (11 rats).

The determination of hydroxyproline in tissue and protein samples containing small proportions of this imino acid.
TL;DR: Method has been applied to a study of hydroxyproline distribution in cell particulates, tissue fluids, and purified plant and animal proteins, and significant amounts of hydroXYproline were found in crystalline preparations of pepsin, elastase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective collagen synthesis in inguinal herniation
TL;DR: It is suggested that the cause of herniation in the adult lies in a reduced collagen synthesis by the fibroblasts, thus rendering the abdominal aponeuroses weaker.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of chelating agents on collagen interfibrillar matrix interactions in connective tissue.
TL;DR: It is suggested that metal ions play a part in the interaction of collagen fibrils and the interfibrillar matrix in tendon, indicating the chemical purity of the collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuation of the rectus sheath in inguinal herniation.
Raymond C. Read,Raymond C. Read +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that in inguinal herniation the rectus sheath unrelated to the defect is thinner than normal, and a patent processus vaginalis allows herniated with less atrophy than in direct defects.
