-In taking history in patients with hernia or varicocele, do not forget to ask about other swellings and features that suggest congenital weaknesses of mesenchyme such as Varicose veins, flat foot, piles, visceroptosis, muscle weakness..etc
-Because mesenchyme gives cells of convective tissues such as muscles of walls of blood vessels" varicocele, varicose veins, piles", fibrous tissue " hernia, ligaments "flat foot due to weaknesses of ligaments"..etc
-Also in examination examine if there is manifestations of weak mesenchymal syndrome, such as above plus:
-Rising test if there is recti diverication due to poor muscles.
-Also Malgaign's sign, bulge of multiple swellings in hernial regions"phantom hernia"
-Visceroptosis by local examination.

What is Slipped capital femoral epiphysis?
-Displacement of the metaphysis of the femoral neck from the epiphysis of the femoral head through the growth plate/physis.
-Likely due to obesity and overloading of the physis, less commonly due to a weakened growth plate from an endocrinological disorder; the femoral neck displaces anteriorly and superiorly relative to the femoral epiphysis;
-Typically presents at age 10–16 years.

Technique for examination of thyroglossal cyst and name of operation:
-Elicit fluctuation by Paget’s method or test.
-It may appear as firm or tense cystic.
-Some cysts are too small to fluctuate.
-Sistrunk’soperation is the surgery of choice:
consists of removal of the thyroglossal cyst along with the entire thyroglossal tract up to the foramen cecum. The central part of the body of the hyoid bone (1cm) is excised during the process of excision of the tract , to prevent recurrence.

What is Curtain sign?
Curtain sign is—deep fascia/ parotid sheath is attached above to the zygomatic bone and so swelling arising from parotid gland cannot be moved up beyond zygomatic bone wherein deep fascia acts like a curtain to prevent its further mobility.
-It's seen in pleomorphic adenoma.
