Ultrasound of the Inguinal canal : part 1 [PDF]
Ultrasound has a major role in detecting disease in the inguinal region. A good knowledge of the anatomy and pathologic findings on ultrasound is required to reach a correct diagnosis.

Clinical differentiation of direct inguinal hernias, indirect inguinal hernias, femoral and Spigelian hernias can be difficult particularly with small hernias and in obese patients.

The relation between parameter curves and lines of curvature on canal surfaces [PDF]
A canal surface is the envelope of a moving sphere with varying radius, defined by the trajectory C(t) (spine curve) of its center and a radius function r(t). In this paper, we investigate when parameter curves of the canal surface are also lines of curvature. Last of all, for special spine curves we obtain the radius function of canal surfaces.

Amyand's hernia in a child with permanent neonatal diabetes due to pancreatic agenesis [PDF]
Acute or perforated appendicitis within inguinal hernia is rarely encountered and it is known as Amyand's hernia. We report on the first case occurring in a 4-year-old boy affected by permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus due to pancreatic agenesis, an ...

Stratification and enumeration of Boolean functions by canalizing depth [PDF]
Boolean network models have gained popularity in computational systems biology over the last dozen years. Many of these networks use canalizing Boolean functions, which has led to increased interest in the study of these functions. The canalizing depth of a function describes how many canalizing variables can be recursively picked off, until a non ...

A new characterization of canal surfaces with parallel transport frame in Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{4}$ [PDF]
In this study, we consider canal surfaces according to parallel transport frame in Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{4}$. The curvature properties of these surfaces are investigated with respect to $k_{1}$, $k_{2}$ and $k_{3}$ which are principal curvature functions according to parallel transport frame. We also give an example of canal surfaces in $\mathbb{

Laparoscopic repair of a large interstitially incarcerated inguinal hernia. [PDF]
A 68 year old female presented for elective repair of an abdominal wall hernia. Preoperative CT imaging revealed a right inguinal hernia defect with hernia contents coursing cephalad between the external and internal abdominal oblique muscles.

Leiomyoma of the Round Ligament of the Uterus : Case report and review of literature [PDF]
Smooth muscle tumours of the round ligament of the uterus are rare and can mimic an inguinal hernia. Preoperative diagnosis can be established by a computed tomography scan of the abdomen or an exploration of the inguinal canal.

A genome-wide association study identifies four novel susceptibility loci underlying inguinal hernia. [PDF]
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed operations in the world, yet little is known about the genetic mechanisms that predispose individuals to develop inguinal hernias.
