Short running title: Bone loss due to orchidectomy and localized disuse.ABSTRACT Alterations on lean, fat mass, bone mass and archtitecture were maximized on the paralysed side of a model combining orchidectomy and hindlimb paralysis induced by botulinum neurotoxin. Risedronate have protective effects on tabecular bone but failed to preserve cortical bone on the paralysed side.

PURPOSE To investigate the roles of age, testicular rotation and time in the surgical outcome of intravaginal testicular torsion (iTT). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrieved the records of all iTT patients treated in our unit from January 2012 to January 2014. Explanatory variables were: age (years); presentation delay (PrD, time between symptoms and hospitalization); surgical delay (SurgD, time ...

Background: The most common paediatric disorder among boy is undescended testis (UDT) which usually identified during birth and these patients require proper treatment at the appropriate time due to increased risk of torsion, infertility, testicular cancer associated inguinal hernia(>90%) as well for cosmetic purposes.
 Objective: purpose this study was determine side, palpability, age ...

Spermatocytic tumor is a rare germ cell not related to neoplasia in situ, and derived from postpubertal-type cells. It was previously called Seminoma due false belief of its origin situ. The usually occurs an older age group orchidectomy curative. We present case spermatocytic 25-year male who presented with right-sided testicular swelling varicocele. Radiology revealed 9.8 × 9 cm mass the pati...

Testicular neuroendocrine tumor is rare. It accounts for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. More than 60 cases have been published in the literature. A 27-year-old man presented with left testicular mass and underwent radical orchidectomy. Histological examination showed neuroendocrine tumor, confirmed by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The patient showed no evidence of met...

Five men with advanced breast cancer were treated with aminoglutethimide (AG) plus replacement dose hydrocortisone. None of the 4 patients with intact testes responded, although 3 did so subsequently to tamoxifen. The previously orchidetomised patient responded to amminoglutethimide for 14 months. Oestrone and oestradiol were suppressed by AG in all patients, but not to the levels achieved by o...

Paratesticular liposarcomas are rare tumors and are usually seen in patients in middle age or older. Optimal treatment is radical orchidectomy. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy is added for advanced disease or recurrences. These practice guidelines often vary from the experience in developing countries.We present a 23-year old man who presented with paratesticular myxoid liposarcoma, after transscr...
