Small hernias (non-reducible), where the contents cannot be put back through the abdominal wall, by pressure under the skin or navel. These seldom cause problems and can often be left alone. It is however recommended that it be checked regularly to ensure the texture, size and color have not changes. If you notice any changes quickly consult with your
We report a series of cases of Berardinelli-Seip syndrome (congenital generalized lipodystrophy). This is a rare autosomal recessive disease. In our region, we have a higher prevalence than that reported in the literature. This is probably due to frequent marriages that occur between relatives. Unlike the literature data, we did not find any case of umbilical hernia in our patients. However, all patients had protrusion of the umbilicus due to lack of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Upon inspection,
“Ella wrapped a cloth strip tight around the baby’s navel as she listened for the holes—the things the fugitives did not say; the questions they did not ask. Listened too for the unnamed, unmentioned people left behind” (108). A baby’s navel is the aftermath of the slicing of the umbilical cord that connects a mother and her children during pregnancy. The reference to the baby’s navel accentuates generational passage from Sethe’s mother to Sethe and from Sethe to Beloved
In The Woman Who Had Two Navels, Nick Joaquin develops certain parallelisms in Connie Escobar’s and Dr. Monson’s characteristics, alluding their relationship to an underlying theme in the novel: the idea of reconnecting to an identity. This essay will discuss how both characters initially deviate from the attainment of their identities because of their escape from reality and how they find their way back through their meeting in Chapter V.

The first career I am interested in is a Navel Intelligence Specialist. This is a position in the military that is not well known, because when people think of the military they think of Americas airmen, sailors, and combat soldiers not the people behind the scenes. This is one of those jobs. The US Navy says their job is to, “Collect, process, analyze, organize and disseminate information.” If you were to think of parts of the military as a body then this would be the brain and your 5 senses by

The bildungsroman and long-time classic, The Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, explores multiple literary elements that develop the flight of the novel's main character, Milkman Dead. Magical realism, a phrase used to describe the authenticity of an object considered genuine, is used regularly to bring further meaning to Morrison's 1977 novel. Using this literary component, she brings the term to life in clever references that reflect its mythical existence to represent real life. Named offhandedly

In contrast, an outie belly button in dogs are the ones that protrudes to the outside.

An outie belly button is more common in humans that in dogs, or aby oets for that matter. When your puppy already reaches a certain age or

discrimination she has had to overcome, such as her race, class, sex, and having no navel, which especially caused her ridicule. Pilate is lacking a belly button because her mother during Pilate’s birth, where Pilate, as unborn baby, is described to have "had come struggling out of the womb without help from throbbing muscles or the pressure of swift womb water” (Morrison 27). Pilate's unusual birth and lack of navel shows her independence and individuality from the rest of her family, and also society

the shape of the woman’s navel and guide our eyes to the shape of her legs. The shape below the drapery is soft and supple giving the piece a sensual feel. In my opinion, this is emanates femininty and really sets the tone for the entire piece. The lines in this piece that are the most prevalent actually divide the piece into two planes. This line starts over her right shoulder and then works its way down the center of her body. When this wide line reaches the statues navel it actually becomes two

Initiation in the Minotauromachy The chanting begins. The rising and falling tone sings for hours, stamping itself on the young boy’s mind. There are no women, only the men of the tribe. The hypnotic monotony of the chant begins to relax the child, who lies on the dusty Australian ground between two of his elders. This is an Aboriginal sanctuary, where rituals are performed, often bloody. This one is no different. The chanting stops. The men grab the boy. Stretching him out, they put a stick in
