Ex nihilo. Ex nihilo is a Latin phrase meaning out of nothing. It often appears in conjunction with the concept of creation, as in creatio ex nihilo, meaning creation out of nothing, chiefly in philosophical or theological contexts, but it also occurs in other fields.
Diaphragmatic hernia is a defect or hole in the diaphragm that allows the abdominal contents to move into the chest cavity. Treatment is usually surgical. The following types of diaphragmatic hernia exist: 1  Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. 2  Morgagni's hernia. 3  Bochdalek hernia. 4  Hiatal hernia.
Surgery for an epigastric hernia is similar to that for other types of hernias, but usually it can be postponed until the child is at least a toddler. Similar to epigastric hernias are umbilical hernias, which occur a little lower on the body, around the belly button. Hiatal Hernias. Hiatal hernias are significantly different than other hernias because they involve the stomach rather than the intestines. In a hiatal hernia, part of the stomach breaks through the diaphragm muscle.
