This study aimed to represent the recent trends in the nationwide incidence of cryptorchidism and hypospadias in Korea, and to determine whether there is evidence of spatial heterogeneity in the incidence. The incidence was calculated as the number of newly diagnosed patients (males) during the first 4 years after a live birth in a population, nationally and regionally (a non-industrialized are...

Idiopathic diseases of the reproductive system are important factors leading to male infertility. Many studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the expression of multiple genes that play a significant role in spermatogenesis and development. We previously showed that microRNA-210 (miR-210) is one of the markedly upregulated microRNAs in the testes of sterile males with maturation arr...

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect minimally invasive surgery for inguinal cryptorchidism. Methods patients were divided into group (n = 100) and traditional 58). In group, with low cryptorchidism 54) underwent a transscrotal incision, high 46) laparoscopic surgery. Results There no difference in hospital stay duration or cost between (P > 0....

This study was designed to determine the testicular abnormalities in rams slaughtered Sokoto, Nigeria. The testicles of presented for slaughter were examined, and age, breed, position, sites noted. Out 638 3 had abnormalities, representing a prevalence 0.47%, comprising 2 (0.31%) unilateral cryptorchidism 1 (0.16%) hypoplasia. (0.58% (2/342) 0.34% (1/296) obtained at Sokoto metropolitan abattoi...

Abstract Study question What is sperm retrieval rate (SRR) by micro TESE and the clinical outcomes using testicular in couples with history of cryptorchidism? Summary answer NOA cryptorchidism had a higher SRR but lower ICSI compared unexplained NOA. known already Undescended testis (UT) which exposed to temperature scrotal associated impairment germ cell maturation, progressive Leydig Sertoli ...

Introduction: Cryptorchidism has been proved to cause apoptosis in germ cells in respond to changes in the stimulation levels of specific physiological events. The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment of bilateral cryptorchidism was associated with alterations in testicular gene expression. Methods: To induce bilateral cryptorchid model, immature mice were anesthetized and a...

Cryptorchidism or undescended testis is one of the most common pediatric disorders of the male endocrine glands and the most common genital disorder identified at birth. Ultrasound is commonly ordered for boys with undescended testes prior to referral to a surgical specialist, but its sensitivity and specificity is insufficient to reliably localize non-palpable testes and thus confers unnecessa...
