Prompt diagnosis and early treatment for testicular cancer is vital. To help with this a one-stop, urologist run, testicular clinic with testicular ultrasound scanning as an integral part of the clinic format was introduced to investigate patients in an efficient and timely manner. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficiency of running a one-stop testicular clinic. A pros...

Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common malignancy among young men. These are highly chemo-sensitive tumors with high cure rates. More than 95% of patients with testicular cancer present with a painless testicular mass. Here we describe a rare initial presentation of testicular cancer in a previously asymptomatic 22-year-old male who presented with widespread metastatic cannonball lesio...

background: testicular torsion is a medical emergency that requires surgical intervention to reperfuse the affected testis. ischemia reperfusion injury is usually associated with proinflammatory cytokine generation and apoptosis of germ cells in the testes.objective: in this study we investigate the effect of ghrelin on the proinflammatory cytokines levels and germ cell apoptosis in testicular ...

Testicular torsion is predominantly a disease of adolescence, but age itself should not be an exclusion criterion for the diagnosis. A lack of suspicion for testicular torsion in older patients may result in a missed or delayed diagnosis which jeopardizes the chance of testicular salvage. In this article, we report a case of testicular torsion in a 55-year-old Chinese man.

Arneja D. V., D. Chand, G. C. Georgie: Age influenced Variations in Plasma Cholesterol, Testicular Cholesterol and Testicular Ascorbic Acid of Prepubertal Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Acta vet. Bmo, 50, 1981: 53-59. The blood plasma and testicular cholesterol and testicular ascorbic acid concentrations were determined in prepubertal male turkeys at different periods between 135 and 235 days o...

Testicular lobulation is a rare congenital anomaly of the testicle. Scrotal ultrasound as a primary diagnostic modality of testicular abnormalities is very helpful in the diagnosis of testicular lobulation. We are reporting in bilateral testicular lobulation associated with varicocele and primary infertility. The m=lobulation was discovered accidentally during routine scrotal ultrasound.

Fragile X syndrome (FraX) is the most common hereditary form of mental retardation. The clinical syndrome includes mental retardation, macroorchidism, and typical but variable facial features. Although macroorchidism has been recognized as a cardinal feature of FraX, descriptions of testicular pathology are rare. Testicular torsion is a relatively common surgical emergency in young men, peaking...

FSH stimulates testicular growth by increasing Sertoli cell proliferation and elongation of seminiferous cords. Little is known about the peritubular myoid cells in testicular development. In order to investigate the role of peritubular myoid cells in early testicular growth in rodents, two traditional models to induce testicular growth were used: FSH treatment and hemicastration. In order to a...

Background: There has been a steep increase in the incidence of adult testicular cancer in many populations, but in spite of numerous studies, the etiology of testicular cancer remains elusive. The time trends of childhood testicular tumors are less clear and have been studied in a few populations. To further evaluate whether or not adult and childhood cancers share trend determinants and wheth...
