a SNP is defined as a variable single base position in the genome, which should appear with a frequency of at least 1% in a particular population in order to consider it as polymorphic. although this definition is still valid, the term variant is being slowly favoured, because the capabilities we have now to detect rare variants allow us to have ...
191 Followers. A. In general, hernias that are at risk for complications, that cause pain, or that limit activity should be repaired. If they are not repaired, there is a risk that an emergency surgical procedure may be required at a later date.Sometimes, a hernia can be temporarily controlled by wearing a belt-like device that applies external compression, which pushes the tissues back into the abdomen and holds them there.This device is called a truss.ometimes, a hernia can be temporarily controlled by wearing a belt-like device that applies external compression, which pushes the tissues back into the abdomen and holds them there.

1 Surgery may be scheduled when it is convenient if strangulation does not appear likely. 2  In healthy adults, hernias that can be pushed back into the abdomen and are not causing discomfort or pain can be repaired when it is convenient. 3  In some cases small, painless hernias may never need to be repaired. Hernias that contain a loop of intestine without blood supply (strangulated hernias) require emergency surgery. 2  Hernias that contain a trapped loop of intestine (incarcerated hernias) need to be repaired as soon as possible to avoid strangulation.
