It’s characterized as symptoms of sneezing, airflow obstruction, nasal pruritus, and often clear nasal discharge. The prevalence of AR is about 5-40% in the general population and still rising. Multiple non-instrumental tests for AR were reported though few were validated. Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) is a valid instrument to screening AR.

This was a cross sectional study to assess the validity and reliability of the Indonesian modification of Score for Allergic Rhinitis. The study conduct in 59 subjects. The Indonesian modification of SFAR instrument is valid and reliable as an instrument for screening AR with r values ranging from 0.345 to 0.730. Internal consistency shows that Cronbach's alpha is 0.803.

Abstract

Abstract: Amyand’s hernia is described in the inguinal hernia sac as being the presence of an appendix vermiformis. It is a rare condition the incidence is about 1 per cent of all inguinal hernias. It is often diagnosed incidentally during inguinal hernia surgery. The main treatment method of Amyand’s hernia is surgery. We report a case of 63 years old man who presented with right inguinal groin bulge for 1 month with the previous repaired right inguinal hernia 5 years ago. On clinical examination revealed a 6 cmx8 cm firm, nontender, irreponible mass in the right inguinal region. He was diagnosed as right sided irreponible inguinal hernia. He was undergoing the elective surgery. Intra-operative, the hernia sac was laterally found in the inferior epigastric vessels and separated from sperm cord to deep inguinal ring. The hernia sac was opened. A non-inflamed appendix was seen. Appendectomy was performed, and the hernia was repaired by Halsted’s repair. Amyand’s hernia is a rare condition. The correct diagnosis is usually made intraoperative.   Keywords: Amyand’s hernia, appendectomy, hernia repair, inguinal hernia.
