Abstract

The inguinal hernia is the subcutaneous part of the peritoneum containing the abdominal viscera that exits through the inguinal canal or directly through the abdominal wall. Most patients do not realize they have an inguinal hernia until swelling arises in the thigh fold area or pain in the groin area. The purpose of this literature review is to provide an update regarding the diagnosis and management of inguinal hernias. The diagnosis of an inguinal hernia is largely based on the history and physical examination, whereas imaging is rarely performed unless there is a certain suspicion. Surgical management can be performed on patients with symptoms, while asymptomatic patients can be subjected to conservative therapy.

Abstract

Malrotation is a congenital abnormal position of the intestine within the peritoneal cavity and usually involves the small intestine and large intestine. Intestinal malrotation occurs at a rate of 1 in 500 live births. Male predominance was present in neonates with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. Up to 40% of patients with malrotation present within the first week of life, 50% up to one month of age and 75% by one year of age. Purpose: To determine the etiology and risk factors for gastrointestinal tract malrotation. Conclusion: Malrotation is a congenital abnormal position of the intestine within the peritoneal cavity and usually involves the small intestine and large intestine. Gastrointestinal (GI) malrotation, sometimes referred to as incomplete rotation or non- rotation of the bowel, is any deviation from the physiological rotation and/or fixation of the GI tract during embryonic development. During the development of the GI tract, the 3 parts of the tract, namely the foregut, middle, and hindgut, usually protrude from the abdominal cavity and undergo a counterclockwise rotation of 270 degrees. Basically, rotational and fixation anomalies are caused by failure of various embryological stages. Clinical manifestations are divided into 4, namely Midgu Volvulus, Intestinal Obstruction, Gasroschisis, and Omphalocele. The main management of intestinal malrotation is a surgical procedure. Other therapies are given to stabilize the patient and are supportive.

Abstract

Stunting is a long-term nutritional issue and a serious public health issue, especially for young children under two. In order to meet nutrient requirements and promote linear growth, dietary diversification is crucial. This study aimed to determine the relationship between dietary diversity, measured using the Dietary Diversity Score (DDS), and stunting among children aged 6–24 months in the working area of Bagu Primary Health Center, Central Lombok Regency. An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 43 mothers of children aged 6–24 months using total sampling. Dietary diversity was assessed using a structured questionnaire based on nine food groups recommended by the FAO, while stunting status was determined from anthropometric records in the Maternal and Child Health handbook. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Of the 43 children, 62.8% were stunted and 37.2% were severely stunted. Most children (58.1%) had low dietary diversity, while 41.9% had diverse diets. No significant association was found between dietary diversity and stunting severity (p = 0.655). However, diverse diets showed a lower tendency toward severe stunting (OR = 0.750; 95% CI: 0.212–2.656). The findings highlight the need to improve dietary diversity through locally available food sources.
