The term  sickle cell disease  (SCD) describes a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. People with SCD have abnormal hemoglobin, called  hemoglobin S or  sickle hemoglobin, in their red blood cells. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. “Inherited” means that the disease is passed by genes from parents to their children. SCD is not contagious.

Epigastric hernia: Causes, repair, and recovery

A hernia is a bulge that results from bodily tissue pushing through the surrounding muscle. The majority of hernias occur in the abdomen, and there are several types of abdominal hernias, including those known as epigastric hernias. What is an epigastric hernia? Epigastric hernias are lumps or bulges that occur in the upper part of the abdominal wall - in an area known as the epigastrium, which is above the navel and just below the breastbone. Epigastric hernias can be present from birth. They may vary in size, and it is possible to have more than one epigastric hernia at a time. Typically, an epigastric hernia is small, with only the lining of the abdomen breaking through the surrounding tissue. Larger hernias, however, may cause fatty tissue or part of the stomach to push through. For many people, small hernias do not cause problems, may only appear at certain times, and may not be noticeable when lying down. Many people are unaware that they have an epigastric hernia.
