Hiatal Hernia01:25

Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia is the abnormal protrusion of the stomach or other abdominal organs through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity.Normally, the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) lies below the diaphragm and is supported by the phrenoesophageal membrane, the diaphragmatic crura, and connective tissues. Weakening of these structures—due to aging, congenital defects like a short esophagus, or increased intra-abdominal pressure from coughing, obesity, pregnancy, or heavy...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Surgical Technology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Smartphone applications offer novel avenues for medical information access.
  • Hernias represent a significant global surgical burden.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing smartphone applications related to hernia repair.
  • To assess the content, medical professional involvement, and commercial interests of these apps.

Main Methods:

  • Searched major app stores (Google Play, Apple, etc.) using hernia-related keywords.
  • Excluded apps without direct relevance to hernia or hernia surgery.

Main Results:

  • Identified 26 hernia-related smartphone apps.
  • Only 35% involved named medical professionals; 38% had consumer reviews.
  • Commercial interests were present in 96% of apps.

Conclusions:

  • A limited number of hernia apps are available despite the high frequency of hernia repair.
  • Opportunities exist for developing validated, evidence-based patient apps.
  • Increased regulation, transparency, and medical professional involvement are needed for healthcare apps.
