Re: how many tones can a tri axle log truck hold? Â« Reply #4 on: December 20, 2012, 07:26:51 pm Â». In maine, we are allowed 75900# gross and my truck weighs empty 31000 so that leaves 44900#s or22.45 tons at a legal load.


The Weight Game: Understanding Pickup Classes--And Where They Came From
A vehicleâs payload capacity is calculated by subtracting the weight of the vehicle from the GVWR. For example, letâs say your truckâs GVWR is 6,800 pounds, and on the scale it weighs 5,375 pounds with a full tank of gas but no passengers or cargo. The maximum payload that particular truck can safely support is 1,425 pounds.


The Weight Game: Understanding Pickup Classes--And Where They Came From
In todayâs truck enthusiast vernacular, half-, three-quarter- and one-ton designations help differentiate consumer pickups by a manufacturerâs gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR. They help distinguish the âclassâ of truck we drive instead of trying to reveal a specific capability.

Starting in 2011, the Big Three raised the gross combined vehicle weight rating on one-ton dualie pickup trucks from 26,000 pounds to 30,000 pounds. One-ton Class 3 dualie pickup trucks are the Ford F-350, GMC Sierra 3500, Chevrolet Silverado 3500 and Ram 3500. Class 3 trucks have a gross vehicle weight rating between 10,001 and 14,000 pounds. This includes single-rear-wheel one-ton trucks, even the Hummer H1. You will see one-ton dualies towing trailers and hauling welders and slide-in campers.


The Weight Game: Understanding Pickup Classes--And Where They Came From
In todayâs consumer market, the designations for half-, three-quarter- and one-ton trucks are a little different. Ford still goes with F-150, F-250 and F-350, respectively, while Ram, Chevy and GMC follow 1500, 2500 and 3500 terminology. Some modern half-ton trucks have payload ratings above 2,000 pounds.

How do Sonic employees get paid? Do they actually work for tips or not?
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: They get paid per hour (not a lot/minimum wage), but they work for tips as well. I always tip my Sonic carhop a little bit (less than standard) because I know their pay is minimum and they don't do as much as a regular server. So, I guess they don't work for tips, but like to get them.

At what age do we begin to lose bone mass?
Usually around age 35 or later, women begin to lose bone mass, sometimes at a rate of 1% per year. This loss jumps to about 4% per year during the five to 10 years after menopause (around ages 45 to 55).The natural decline in estrogen at menopause speeds up the breakdown of bone.hroughout childhood and into young adulthood, we are adding to our bone stores by eating healthy sources of calcium and getting in daily weight-bearing exercise. Once age 30 rolls around, we start to lose our bone stores.


At what age do we begin to lose bone mass?
You may be losing bone mass sooner than you think. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center, the peak age for bone mineral density, or age when bones are the strongest, is age 18 for women and age 20 for men.hroughout childhood and into young adulthood, we are adding to our bone stores by eating healthy sources of calcium and getting in daily weight-bearing exercise. Once age 30 rolls around, we start to lose our bone stores.

Bone health is measured by bone density, which indicates the amount of minerals, such as calcium, in your bones. A higher bone density indicates stronger bones. To determine bone density, your health care provider will usually do a DXA bone scan. The amount of bone you have usually peaks around age 30.Then it begins to decline. Your body starts to reabsorb bone faster than new bone can be made.bout 18 million Americans have osteopenia. Osteopenia refers to early signs of bone loss that can turn into osteoporosis. With osteopenia, bone mineral density is lower than normal. However, it is not yet low enough to be considered osteoporosis.


Osteoporosis: Peak Bone Mass in Women
The amount of bone tissue in the skeleton, known as bone mass, can keep growing until around age 30. At that point, bones have reached their maximum strength and density, known as peak bone mass.Women tend to experience minimal change in total bone mass between age 30 and menopause.irls and boys and young adults who exercise regularly generally achieve greater peak bone mass than those who do not. Women and men age 30 and older can help prevent bone loss with regular exercise. The best activity for your bones is weight-bearing exercise.


Bone Health at Every Stage
Most people will reach their peak bone mass between the ages of 25 and 30. By the time we reach age 40, however, we slowly begin to lose bone mass. We can, however, take steps to avoid severe bone loss over time.For most of us, bone loss can be significantly slowed through proper nutrition and regular exercise.eak bone mass occurs 9 to 12 months after the peak rate in height growth. Early or late onset of puberty affects peak bone mass. Boys with late puberty generally have less bone mass for life than those who start puberty at the typical time, about age 11 1/2.


Bone Density Loss and Prevention
This disease has, typically, always been more prevalent in women than in men. While many women may have a loss of bone mass, they experience this trend earlier in their lives than men, both genders by the age of 65 to 70 lose bone density at the same rate.Eating your way to better bone health.his disease has, typically, always been more prevalent in women than in men.

Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: Is There a Difference?
Bones tend to decrease in density as we age, and for some individuals, it can lead to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease of low bone density that can contribute to an increased risk of fracture.

Alkaptonuria
Alkaptonuria is an inherited condition that causes urine to turn black when exposed to air. Ochronosis, a buildup of dark pigment in connective tissues such as cartilage and skin, is also characteristic of the disorder. This blue-black pigmentation usually appears after age 30. People with alkaptonuria typically develop arthritis, particularly in the spine and large joints, beginning in early adulthood.


Alkaptonuria
Alkaptonuria is caused by mutations in the HGD gene. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. There is still no cure for this disease. Treatment includes the management of joint pain, physical and occupational therapy, joint replacements and surgery when needed.


-
People with this condition also can get arthritis in adulthood. The build-up of homogentisic acid in the cartilage causes arthritis in about half of older adults with alkaptonuria. Homogentisic acid also can build up on the heart valves, especially the mitral valve.


Alkaptonuria
Alkaptonuria is an inherited condition that causes urine to turn black when exposed to air. The three major features of alkaptonuria are the presence of dark urine, ochronosis, a buildup of dark pigment in connective tissues such as cartilage and skin, and arthritis of the spine and larger joints. Ochronosis starts after age 30 and arthritis in early adulthood.


Alkaptonuria
A defect in the HGD gene causes alkaptonuria. The gene defect makes the body unable to properly break down certain amino acids (tyrosine and phenylalanine). As a result, a substance called homogentisic acid builds up in the skin and other body tissues. The acid leaves the body through the urine. The urine turns brownish-black when it mixes with air. Alkaptonuria is inherited, which means it is passed down through families.


Alkaptonuria
The three main features of alkaptonuria (AKU) are the presence of a substance called homogentisic acid (HGA) in the urine, ochronosis and arthritis. The urine of individuals with AKU turns black when exposed to air.


Alkaptonuria
Alkaptonuria is a rare condition in which a person's urine turns a dark brownish-black color when exposed to air. Alkaptonuria is part of a group of conditions known as an inborn error of metabolism.


-
This condition is rare, affecting 1 in 250,000 to 1 million people worldwide. Alkaptonuria is more common in certain areas of Slovakia (where it has an incidence of about 1 in 19,000 people) and in the Dominican Republic. Mutations in the HGD gene cause alkaptonuria.


Categorizing Hurricanes: The Saffir-Simpson Scale
A storm surge of about 20 feet was associated with Hurricane Ike. This hurricane is an example of the modification to the Saffir-Simpson scale because the storm surge and wind speeds placed the storm in two different categories. Ike is ranked the third most expensive hurricanes to impact the U.S. Hurricane Sandy was a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall.


Earth Science for Kids
1 The diameter of the hurricane is measured from one side to the other. Hurricanes can span a diameter of over 600 miles.  Height - The storm clouds that power hurricanes can become very tall. A powerful hurricane can reach nine miles into the atmosphere.


How Do Hurricanes Form?
As a hurricaneâs winds spiral around and around the storm, they push water into a mound at the stormâs center. This mound of water becomes dangerous when the storm reaches land because it causes flooding along the coast.


How Do Hurricanes Form?
It can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph. Each hurricane usually lasts for over a week, moving 10-20 miles per hour over the open ocean.

Australian meteorologists use a slightly different scale to classify hurricanes. While the Australian scale of cyclone intensity also ranks storms by wind speed and damage on a scale of 1 to 5, it covers both hurricanes and tropical storms. 10 Times Humanity Fought Against Nature (and Won)


-
Hurricanes typically form between 5 to 15 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. The Coriolis Force is needed to create the spin in the hurricane and it becomes too weak near the equator, so hurricanes can never form there.

Waves are generated by storms, wind, or hurricanes and can cause coastal erosion. This may take the form of long-term losses of sediment and rocks, or merely the temporary redistribution of coastal sediments. TROPICAL STORM WARNING - Tropical Storm conditions are expected in your area within the next 24 hours.

Storm surges are frequently the most devastating element of a hurricane. As a hurricaneâs winds spiral around and around the storm, they push water into a mound at the stormâs center. TROPICAL STORM WARNING - Tropical Storm conditions are expected in your area within the next 24 hours.


How Hurricanes Work
Hurricanes can unleash incredible damage when they hit. With enough advance warning though, cities and coastal areas can give residents the time they need to fortify the area and even evacuate. To better classify each hurricane and prepare those affected for the intensity of the storm, meteorologists rely on rating systems.


Categorizing Hurricanes: The Saffir-Simpson Scale
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale measures the amount of wind damage caused by hurricanes. The speed of the wind determines the category of the storm. Categories range from 1 to 5. Currently, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale takes into account only wind speed. Since its development in 1971, it has gone through a few modifications.


Ivermectin
Scabies is a skin disease caused by infestation with the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Although it may infest any human in any climate, it is most common in children younger than two years and is endemic in the tropics.1 The female mite, whose life expectancy is about 30 days, burrows into the epidermis to lay eggs.


Diagnosis
Medications commonly prescribed for scabies include: 1  Permethrin cream, 5 percent (Elimite). 2  Lindane lotion. 3  Crotamiton (Eurax). 4  Ivermectin (Stromectol).

How to Calculate Manufacturing Overhead
Calculating Material Burden Rate. The general formulae to calculate material burden rate is = budgeted manufacturing overheads / base. The most popular base, is the direct labor cost as a basis, in which case the formulae to calculate the material burden rate reads = budgeted overhead / direct labor cost. If the base is taken as labor hours instead of labor costs, the formulae reads = budgeted manufacturing overheads / direct labor hours.

The material, labor and burden costs from in process material will go into the work in process (WIP) inventory. Once the part has left the final operation, it goes into the finished goods inventory. The routing/BOM controls what inventory the parts are put into based on a changing part number of routing sequence.


How to Calculate Manufacturing Overhead
The distribution of manufacturing overhead costs to individual product unit, or production batches generally, requires a base or a cost driver, to which reference a rate, known as material burden rate applies. Material burden is the amount of manufacturing overhead costs that a unit of the base carries.


How to Calculate Manufacturing Overhead
Calculating Material Burden Rate. The most popular base, is the direct labor cost as a basis, in which case the formulae to calculate the material burden rate reads = budgeted overhead / direct labor cost. If the base is taken as labor hours instead of labor costs, the formulae reads = budgeted manufacturing overheads / direct labor hours.


Kessel Run
Twelve!. âRey and Han Solo on the Millennium Falcon. The Kessel Run was a hyperspace route used by smugglers and unscrupulous freighter captains to move spice from the spice mines of Kessel at the behest of the Pyke Syndicate, who relied on the foolhardy Kessel Runs to deliver the illicit substance to their customers.


What is a parsec?
There are 3,600 arcseconds in one degree. To provide some perspective: one arcsecond is equivalent to the width of an average human hair seen from 20 meters away. And hereâs how we arrive at parsecs as a unit of distance: one parsec is the distance to an object whose parallax angle is one arcsecond. After first appearing in a 1913 paper by English astronomer Frank Dyson, the term stuck. If you see a star with 1/2 arcsecond of parallax, it is two parsecs away.

Parsecs Conversion
Once the parallax angle is established you can calculate the distance to a star using trigonometry, because we know Earthâs distance from the Sun. The distance from the Sun of a body with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond was thus defined as a unit and, thanks to Turner, named the parsec.


What is a parsec?
One parsec is approximately 30 trillion kilometers or 19 trillion miles. Thatâs a bit over three light-years. The Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977, is the most distant manmade object from Earth. It is a mere six ten-thousandths of a parsec away.


Parsecs Conversion
Astronomers used trigonometry to calculate the distance to stars long before the term parsec was coined, but the new unit made it easier to conceptualise unfathomable distances. A parsec is the distance from the sun to an astronomical object which has a parallax angle of one arcsecond (1/3600 of a degree).


Beta Volantis
The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure large distances to objects outside the Solar System. One parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. A parsec is equal to about 3.26 light-years (31 trillion kilometres or 19 trillion miles) in length. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 1.3 parsecs (4.2 light-years) from the Sun. Most of the stars visible to the unaided eye in the nighttime sky are within 500 parsecs of the Sun.


-
We call this unique distance one parallax-second, or parsec. Finally, since one light year equals about 9.46 million million kilometers, and we said a parsec is 3.26 light years, simple multiplication tells us that one parsec is a distance of almost 31 million million kilometers. A long distance, to be sure!


-
A parsec was a unit of distance. Despite a parsec being a unit of distance and not time, Han Solo twice boasted about the speed of his spaceship by claiming it made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.. Tatooine was less than a parsec away from Geonosis. The Kamino system was located twelve parsecs south of the Rishi Maze.

Inguinal Hernia Symptoms and Treatments
What Is an Inguinal Hernia? An inguinal hernia occurs when fat or a loop of intestine enters the inguinal canal in the groin area, between the pubis and the top of the leg. The intestine goes through the lower layers of the weakened abdominal wall and creates a lump. There are two types of inguinal hernias:


Inguinal Hernia
The World's Leading Specialist Hernia Centre. Inguinal Hernia. This is the most common hernia (about 70% of all hernias are inguinal hernias). They occur in the groin, the small area of the lower abdomen on each side just above the line separating the abdomen and the legs, and around the pubic bone.


Femoral hernia
Femoral hernia. A hernia is caused by the protrusion of a viscus (in the case of groin hernias, an intraabdominal organ) through a weakness in the containing wall. This weakness may be inherent, as in the case of inguinal, femoral and umbilical hernias. On the other hand, the weakness may be caused by surgical incision through the muscles of the abdominal/thoracic wall. Hernias occurring through these are called incisional hernias.


Inguinal Hernias
Male:female ratio of groin hernias is 8:1. Hernias and hydroceles occur in 1-3% of full-term infants. In men, the incidence rises from 11 per 10,000 person-years, aged 16-24 years, to 200 per 10,000 person-years, aged 75 years or above.


Inguinal hernia repair
Inguinal hernia repair, also known as herniorrhaphy, is the surgical correction of an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia is an opening, weakness, or bulge in the lining tissue (peritoneum) of the abdominal wall in the groin area between the abdomen and the thigh. The surgery may be a standard open procedure through an incision large enough. This patient has an indirect inguinal hernia (A). To repair it, the surgeon makes an incision over the area and separates the muscle and tisses to expose the hernia sac (B). The sac is cut open (C), and the contents are replaced into the abdomen (D).


"I NGUINAL or 'groin' hernias are by far the most common site for hernias to develop in adults, and are second only to Umbilical Hernias in infants and children. While a bit more common in men, they do occur in women as well. These hernias will develop as the result of a weakness, tear, gap or opening in the muscle wall of the lower abdomen or groin, in a region called the Myopectineal Orifice. As a result, the contents of the abdomen, such as intestine, may protrude through the opening creating a pain and a bulge. The pain and bulge may be constant, or intermittent in duration. Inguinal Hernias are located in the lower abdomen (right side, left side or both), just above the leg crease, near or adjacent to the pubic area. Inguinal Hernias can occur on both sides ('Bilateral') in about 8-10% of patients. I NGUINAL HERNIAS may be CONGENITAL  (present since birth) yet may become evident with pain or as a bulge at any time during life. They can also be ACQUIRED, the result of repetitive pressure, strain or injury to the muscles of the abdominal wall. This can be acute and occur abruptly, or develop over a long period of time.  Congenital Hernias are usually called ""INDIRECT"" hernias, whereas Acquired hernias are referred to as ""DIRECT"" hernias, and are so called because of their anatomic direction of travel into the area known as the Inguinal Canal. These hernias frequently show up as a lump, swelling or ""bulge"" which gradually increases in size and become progressively more uncomfortable. Sometimes only a mild pain, ache or burning in the groin area may occur prior to the development of an obvious bulge. This pain, again often described as an ache or burning sensation, may not only be present in the inguinal area, but may also radiate into the hip region, back, leg or even down towards the genitalia region. Called ""REFERRED PAIN"", this discomfort can be quite bothersome and at times severe. In addition, in the absence of a bulge, the diagnosis of the cause of this pain may be delayed or mistakenly and incorrectly ascribed to other causes such as muscular groin strains, epididymitis, prostatitis or orchitis etc. These diagnoses may be maintained erroneously until the bulge develops, thereby heralding the real cause of the pain...a hernia. The discomfort with hernias usually is initiated by or increases in severity with activity, then becomes relieved, although not always completely, with rest. <-ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. UMBILICAL HERNIASU MBILICAL Hernias, and nearby hernias called ""Paraumbilical Hernias"" develop in and around the area of the umbilicus (belly button or navel). A Congenital (present since birth) weakness in the naval area exists. This was the area at which the vessels of the fetal and infant umbilical cord exited through the muscle of the abdominal wall. After birth, although the umbilical cord disappears (leaving just the dimpled belly-button scar), the weakness underneath may persist. Hernias can occur in this area of weakness at any time from birth through late adulthood. The signs and symptoms include pain at or near the navel area as well as the development of an associated bulge or navel deformity. This bulge pushes out upon the skin beneath or around the navel, distorting the normal contour and architecture in or around the navel (creating an 'OUTIE' instead of a normal 'INNIE'). Although often appearing at or just after birth, these hernias can also occur at any time during later life. In INFANTS, these hernias may gradually close by age 3 or 4 and surgery can often be delayed until then, unless the hernias are causing problems or enlarging. This decision should be made after examination by a Pediatrician or skilled Surgeon. InADULTShowever, umbilical hernias cannot ""heal"", and do gradually increase in size and often become problematic.IncarcerationorStrangulationmay occur.<-ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. INCISIONAL HERNIAS and VENTRAL HERNIASI NCISIONAL or Ventral Hernias may occur in the area of any prior surgical incision, and can vary in size from very small, to very large and complex. They develop as the result of disruption along or adjacent to the area of abdominal wall suturing, often subsequent TENSION placed on the tissue or other inhibition to adequate healing (infection, poor nutrition, obesity, or metabolic diseases). These hernias present as a bulge or protrusion at or near the area of the prior incision scar. Virtually any prior abdominal operation can subsequently develop an Incisional Hernia at the scar area, including those from large abdominal procedures (intestinal surgery, vascular surgery), to small incisions (Appendectomy, or Laparoscopy). These hernias can occur at any incision, but tend to occur more commonly along a straight line from the breastbone straight down to the pubis, and are more complex in these regions. Hernias in this area have a high rate of recurrence if repaired via a simple suture technique under tension and it is especially advised that these be repaired via a TENSION FREE repair method using mesh These hernias may develop soon after the original surgery, or at any time thereafter. Incisional Hernias gradually increase in sizeonce they develop and become progressively symptomatic. A bulge may not be evident at the hernia site initially, and pain may be the only early hernia symptom. These hernias develop in many cases as a result of too much tension placed when closing the abdominal incision, as stated above. Tension creates poor healing, swelling, wound separation and eventual Incisional Hernia formation. <-ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. FEMORAL HERNIASFEMORAL hernias, like Inguinal Hernias develop in the groin area, but occur about 5 times more commonly in females than they do in males. These hernias develop at or very near the leg crease itself, but in an area somewhat lower than the more common Inguinal Hernia. In fact, it is often difficult to differentiate clinically between these and Inguinal Hernias on examination by those not experienced in hernia evaluation. The defect itself occurs in an anatomic triangular-shaped ""gap"", located between the following 3 structures:1. the inguinal ligament (a tendinous cord that creates the leg crease),2. the lower side of the pubic bone, and3. The femoral vein (the major vein of the leg).This gap is somewhat larger in famles due to the shape and angle of the pelvis, therefore making femoral hernias more common in females.NOTE: the congenital gaps and weak areas of the inguinal canal are somewhat larger in males, making Inguinal Hernias more common in men.The findings of an acutely painful lump or bulge on the leg crease, adjacent to the pubic region (especially in females) suggests a diagnosis of a Femoral Hernia. The femoral hernia defect is very close anatomically to that found in Inguinal Hernias. Examination by a Hernia Specialist is often needed to confirm this particular diagnosis. Often, a Femoral Hernia can occur simultaneously with an Inguinal Hernia, and be overlooked at surgery using 'conventional' repair techniques.FEMORAL hernias are much more common in females, but can occur in males as well. These hernias are more prone to developINCARCERATIONand/orSTRANGULATIONas an early complication than are Inguinal Hernias. Therefore, early repair once these hernias are diagnosed is very strongly advised before such complications occur.<-ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. EPIGASTRIC HERNIASCLICK IMAGEEPIGASTRIC herniasdevelop in the mid upper abdomen, anywhere along a line drawn from the lower point of the breastbone straight down to the Umbilicus. They rarely deviate to any extent away from this straight-lined area, but can occur at any point along it. These not-too-uncommon hernias arise in a defect of the mid-line fascia or tendon that is present between the two rectus or six-pack muscles (called thelinea alba). These hernias are generally small in size and localized, rarely larger thatn the size of a golf-ball. Because of the small defect, the contents are easily pinched and these hernias therefore can cause a great deal of pain. Epigastric Hernias are extremely well suited for repair using a Tension Free method. Epigastric Hernias should not be confused with a condition calledDIASTASIS RECTI (DR) (see below). DIASTSIS RECTIis not a hernia. Although often confused and at times mis-diagnosed as an epigastric hernia, which it is not, these abdominal wall protrusions occur due to a widened band of non-contractile fascia or tendon normally present between the rectus musles. There is no defect or true hernia present in a normal Diastaasis Recti. Since this fascia does not contract as does normal adjacent muscle, when individuals with DR strain (e.g., do a sit-up), an elongated bulge in the upper abdomen, tappered at each end will appear. This non-tender bulge extends from just below the breast bone, down to the navel. Unlike Epigastric Hernias, a Diastasis Recti is not localized along the linea alba line, but involves the entire space between the breast bone and the navel. They are likened to a narrow foorball in shape. There is no pain associated with this bulge and it is not apparent when standing or walking, but is evident only when straining (sit ups). This is a variant of normal anatomy and Diastasis Recti is not a hernia. Surgery is not indicated for this condition and we disuade ill-advised attempts at surgical correction.<-ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. SPIGELIAN or SEMILUNAR HERNIASSPIGELIAN hernias are ventral hernias occurring through the spigelian fascia along the Spieghelâs semilunar line and lie under the external oblique aponeurosis just outside the outer border of the Rectus or ""six-pack"" muscles. They commonly occur at a level referred as âspigelian hernia beltâ which is a transverse band between the level of umbilicus (navel) and the line joining both anterior superior iliac spines (Photo). Rarely they can occur above or below this level. Spigelian hernias are more common in women and have a peak occurrence around 50 years of age. The symptoms may vary from well-localised constant abdominal pain with or without palpable lump to vague inconstant ache. Clinically it is difficult to feel a definite bulge or a hernial defect as they are typically submuscular. Therefore, imaging studies are frequently necessary to make or confirm the diagnosis. They often develop complications like incarceration due to delay in diagnosis. Ultrasound or CT Scan are the goldstandard investigational imaging studies used for the diagnosis of Spigelian hernia in patients suspected of having these often occult hernias. Once diagnosed, surgical repair using an""open"" Tension-Free technique, similar to that used for ventral/insisional hernias is extremely effective, well tolerated and is therefore highly recommended to prevent complications."
INGUINAL or 'groin' hernias are by far the most common site for hernias to develop in adults, and are second only to Umbilical Hernias in infants and children. While a bit more common in men, they do occur in women as well.


Inguinal Hernias
There are two types of inguinal hernia: 1  Indirect: a protrusion through the internal inguinal ring passes along the inguinal canal through the abdominal wall, running laterally to the inferior epigastric vessels. This is the more common form accounting for 80% of inguinal hernias, especially in children.
