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

Protein S (PS) is Vitamin K dependant protein which plays a role in regulating the blood clotting process in the body. Protein S deficiency is explained as a condition characterized by reduced levels of protein S in the serum so that it makes the blood clot too easily. The purpose of this literature review is to give an update of protein S defficiency and the mechanism of protein s in hemostasis and atherosclerosis based on publish literature reference from various database. Protein S plays important role in hemostasis by regulating blood cloth process in the initiation phase of the extrinsic pathway as a TFPI cofactor or in the propagation phase, namely as an APC cofactor and independent activity of TFPIα and APC. Protein S deficiency is known to be associated with the occurrence of atherosclerosis via the Tyro3-Axl-Mer (TAM) receptor. The main clinical manifestations of the majority of patients with heterozygous mutations in the protein S (PROS1) gene are deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism that precipitate by VTE. Administration of anticoagulant drugs such as heparin in the form of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin, vitamin K antagonists (VKA), namely warfarin, or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be selected as a management of protein S deficiency with VTE. Protein S has a central role in the coagulation prosses and its deficiency associated with atherosclerotic conditions.
