Background: Cryptorchidism is one of the most common genitourinary disorders in young boys. About 1% 2% of boys at age of 1 year have an undescended testis (UDT); this disorder is unilateral in about 90% of individuals and bilateral in about 10%. However, bilateral impalpable testes represent a special category that should be differentiated from anorchidism as well as male pseudohermaphroditism...

Purpose: We evaluated parameters associated with testicular salvage in boys with testicular torsion. Materials and Methods: During 2009-2014, 19 boys younger than 18 years old underwent emergency surgery for testicular torsion in our hospital. Age, chief complaint, laterality of the torsion, physical appearance, ultrasonographic results, duration between the onset of symptoms and hospital visit...

Resumo — Este artigo apresenta a temática da automatização de testes funcionais na área da Engenharia de Software, iniciando por apresentar alguns conceitos básicos sobre Testes e em seguida mostrando as actuais técnicas para o desenvolvimento de testes automáticos sob sistemas com interface gráfica (GUI). As características e limitações das actuais ferramentas CaptureReplay são exploradas bem ...

Testicular growth of 377 boars was compared by obtaining in situ measurements of testes width and length and excised tissue weights. Two experiments involved a line selected nine generations for ovulation rate (OR) and a control line (CL), and two experiments contained boars of the OR line and two other lines; WL, a Large White-Landrace cross, and a line founded by crossing lines OR and CL and ...

OBJECTIVE Laparoscopy has become one of the important diagnostic modalities of nonpalpable testis and has been developed and applied in the treatment of this disease. In the present study, we investigated the usefulness of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of nonpalpable testis. METHODS Laparoscopy was carried out under general anesthesia on 21 patients (23 testes) from October 1991 ...

conclusions the results showed that clinical and ultrasonographic grading to diagnose varicoceles is directly consistent together and it is possible to make them equivalent together. in addition, the age factor has not a significant impact on disease grading. methods in this cross-sectional study, 66 patients suspected of varicocele referred to urology clinic of shahid faghihi hospital in shira...

We aimed to investigate the effect of chronic radiation exposure associated with the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) accident on the testes of boar and inobuta (a hybrid of Sus scrofa and Sus scrofa domestica). This study examined the contamination levels of radioactive caesium (Cs), especially (134)Cs and (137)Cs, in the testis of both boar and inobuta during 2012, after the Fukus...

Oxidative stress has been identified as one of the factors that affects fertility status. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the inhibitory effect of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera and Newbuoldia laevis leaves on FeSO4 and Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP) induced lipid peroxidation in rat testes in vitro. Incubation of the testes tissue homogenate in the presence of FeSO4 and SNP caused...

BACKGROUND Chinese medicine Wuzi Yanzong pill (WZYZP) was firstly documented in ancient Chinese medical works "She Sheng Zhong Miao Fang" by Shi-Che Zhang in 1550 AD. The traditional herbal formula is widely used in treating nephrasthenia lumbago, prospermia, erectile dysfunction and male sterility. The present study was to explore the effects of WZYZP on ionizing irradiation-induced testicular...

Direct cooling of the testis results in the depletion of most germ cells in vivo. Germ cell-depleted testes are now commonly used to investigate spermatogenic regeneration and can serve as recipients for germ cell transplantation. The present study explored the effects of cooling rat testes on the depletion of endogenous germ cells, spermatogenic regeneration, and Sertoli cell function. Adult r...
