BACKGROUND Very few studies are available that describe the role of laparoscopy in adults with impalpable testes. This study compares laparoscopy with ultrasonography in this subset of patients. METHODS Fourteen adults, having a mean age of 21 years, with 19 undescended testes were evaluated. None of the testes was palpable, preoperative ultrasound localized 7 testes (36.8%), but a change in ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the testicular volume and structure using ultrasound (US) before and up to 3 years after orchidopexy in children with different age.A total of 128 patients underwent orchidopexy for undescended testes. Afterwards, patients were invited for annual follow-up and control scrotal US. The total number of analyzed testes after orchidopexy was 184. Patients were d...

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 ...

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...
