The primary pathophysiological event in testicular torsion is ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, which is caused by the twisted spermatic cord and its release. Moreover, testicular torsion is most likely mediated by reactive oxygen species. Ischemic preconditioning (IPreC) is a phenomenon in which a prior ischemic stress renders the organ resistant to a subsequent ischemic insult. Ischemic post...

Overview Excluding dermatological condit ions, testicular and scrotal lesions include hydrocele, hernia, spermatocele, varicocele, tumours, haematocele, and two painful condit ions, epididymitis/orchit is and torsion of the spermatic cord (‘testicular torsion’). These problems are commonly encountered by primary care physicians. For instance, acute epididymitis is one of the leading causes of d...

By M. N. S. CHETTI, i.u. & s., Civil Surgeon, Sagaing. A Burman male aged 47 years was brought to the hospital on 1st April, 1925, with a history of enlargement of the right testicle with swelling about 9 clays ago without any cause. On examination the tumour was found to be somewhat about the shape and size of a mediumsized mango extending above the external ring. The upper one-third was soft ...

Lesions of the groin include hernia, hydrocele, spermatic cord cyst, undescended testes, lymphadenopathy, and abscess. Hydatid cysts are endemic in certain regions of the world. They are usually located in the liver, lung, spleen, brain, and kidney. Although many uncommon locations have been reported, hydatid disease has been reported 3 times in the spermatic cord. This is the first report of a...

Background Ovarian torsion (OT) is a serious condition, and delay in surgical intervention may result in loss of the ovary. Children and adolescents who have suffered from ovarian torsion may be at risk for asynchronous torsion of the contralateral ovary. Study objective Three cases of asynchronous bilateral ovarian torsion were reported to analyse clinical history of three patients, to revie...

Isolated tubal torsion is a rare gynecologic emergency, the incidence is reported to be approximately 1/1.500.000 [1]. The 12 to 20% of patients are observed in pregnancy [2]. In the evaluation of adnexal masses; ultrasonography (USG) is the gold standard although a definitive diagnosis is diagnosed after surgical exploration [3]. In this case; we aimed the presentation of which is operated wit...

Epididymal abscess, epididymo-orchitis, infected hydroceles, and testicular torsion are all rare in a neonate. The practice of exploring an acute scrotum in this patient population remains controversial. Here we describe a case of an unusual presentation of an epididymal abscess that mimics testicular torsion, in hopes of presenting the appropriate evaluation of torsion, and affirming the decis...

A series of wind tunnel model tests and theoretical analyses were conducted to investigate torsion excitation, response and vibration suppression of wind-excited buildings. An aeroelastic model for pure torsion vibration was developed and the aeroelastic test results were compared with those obtained by other Wind tunnel test techniques. The comparison and practice indicated that this type of m...

Background LV torsion Left ventricular torsion may be more sensitive in detecting pathology before changes in more traditional functional parameters, and the onset of symptoms. The current gold standard for evaluating torsion is CMR, but a wide variety of techniques exist and as yet the advantages and disadvantages remain to be determined. The use of feature tracking software offers a method us...

Material And Method: The records of all the patients who were examined in the A/E, the operation theatre and the clinics for testicular torsion were obtained and analyzed for the biodata, the time of presentation, the investigations, the treatment and the outcome. Results: A total of 16 patients were examined within the period. Their mean age was 22.3 years, while the response time to the scrot...
