Rectus Fascia

Several acute undesired events can occur during the second stage of labor due to a significant increase in the intra-abdominal pressure associated with the process of expulsion of the fetus. Herniation of loops of the bowel due to sudden separation or tear in the rectus fascia in a woman without the previous abdominal surgery is a very rare occurrence. We report a case of intrapartum herniation of intra-peritoneal viscus through a large epigastric defect that occurred during the second stage of labor.

SummaryThe appearance of antibodies to factor VIII in the blood of previously normal people is a very rare occurrence but when it does happen the haemorrhagic condition which results can be very serious and difficult to treat.From experience of three cases described here it is recommended that treatment be witheld unless there is serious haemorrhage in which case steroids, large doses of cryoprecipitate or other human AHG should be given. In the case of life endangering haemorrhages it is justified to use the much more potent animal AHG preparations along with an immuno-suppressive drug.

ntroduction: Repairs of umbilical and epigastric hernias are common surgical procedures; the choice of the surgical method generally depends on the size of the hernial sac and fascial defect. Methods: Data of patients operated on for umbilical or epigastric hernias in our hospital during two years were assessed retrospectively. The study group included 264 patients; 212 had an umbilical hernia and 52 had an epigastric hernia. We assessed epidemiologic and clinical parameters and their correlation with the occurrence of early postoperative complications. We also looked for the recurrence rate, although during only a short follow-up period. Results: In the case of umbilical hernias, early complications occurred in 6.7% (11/165) after surgery with a simple suture and in 4.3% (2/47) with mesh repair, and the recurrence rates were 3% (5/165) and 21.3% (10/47), respectively. The risk of early complications was significantly higher in larger hernias. The recurrence rate increased with older age, an increased size of the hernial sac and fascial defect, and in patients with type 2 diabetes. In epigastric hernias, early complications occurred in 5.3% (1/19) after surgery with a simple suture and in 6.1% (2/33) with mesh repair. Recurrences only occurred in operations with mesh repair, in 9% (3/33). The risk of early complications was significantly higher in type 2 diabetes patients. Conclusion: Early complications were slightly more frequent in epigastric hernia repairs with mesh implantation, but this was not the case of umbilical hernias. We recommend mesh implantation in larger and borderline sized hernias to reduce the risk of recurrence.

The udder is a very important organ and has economic value in dairy cattle. Though highly vulnerable to various disease conditions, e.g. mastitis, congenital anomalies in the udder are of rare occurrence (Dandale et al., 2013). Congenital abnormalities of the mammary system in cows comprise absence of teats, glands, supernumerary teats and imperforate teats. Absence of teat is extremely rare, but isolated cases in which the teats were only represented by slight eminences have been met with (O’ Connor, 1980). Athelia was reported in buffaloes by Sailendra and Sandhya (1998) and Vidyasagar (2009) and in a Japanese black heifer by Ghanem et al. (2011). In the present paper, a rare case of athelia in a Jersey crossbred cow and its therapeutic management by permanent cessation of lactation is reported.
