AIM To evaluate the relationship between testicular function and testicular volume measured by using Prader orchidometry and ultrasonography (US) to determine the critical testicular volume indicating normal testicular function by each method. METHODS Total testicular volume (right plus left testicular volume) was measured in 794 testes in 397 men with infertility (mean age, 35.6 years) using...

A rare case of a seminoma developing in an atrophic testis is described and the role of testicular atrophy in tumorigenesis is discussed. S. Ali Khan, Chief of Urology, Veterans Administration Medical Center, Northport, NY 11768 (USA) Introduction Testicular tumors are rare, accounting for less than 2% of all male malignancies. Testicular tumors occurring in atrophic testes are seen even less f...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively determine the prevalence of testicular microlithiasis in symptomatic patients who were referred for scrotal ultrasound examination and to evaluate the possible association of testicular microlithiasis with testicular cancer and other conditions such as cryptorchidism or history of ascending testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 391 men who were referred to our institutions ...

background: spermatogonial stem cells are subpopulation of spermatogonial cells in testis tissue that support beginning and maintenance of spermatogenesis. ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase l1 (uchl1) could be a specific marker for identification of spermatogonial stem cells including spermatogonial sperm cells (sscs) in testis tissue and during the culture; therefore we undertook this study...

BACKGROUND Testicular biopsy is an acknowledged method of examination of the testes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. We describe the pattern of testicular histologies in our environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective review of testicular histology results from the Pathology Department of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, over a 5-year p...

PURPOSE We assessed reproductive and testicular function in adult rats after testicular torsion created before, during and after puberty, and with vs without resveratrol or arginine treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age matched rats were divided into groups, including simulated surgery without testicular torsion, 720-degree testicular torsion for 4 hours, testicular torsion with resveratrol tr...

Purpose: To determine prospectively the prevalence of testicular microlithiasis in symptomatic patients who were referred for scrotal ultrasound examination and to evaluate the possible association of testicular microlithiasis with testicular cancer. Material and method: 391 men who were referred to our institution between July 02 and May 05 for any type of symptoms from the testicles underwent...

Colorectal masses can be non-neoplasm, benign neoplasm and malignant neoplasm. Diagnosis of colorectal mass done by biopsy or surgery then followed histopathological examination. The aim this study was to described the histopathology feature in Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Arifin Achmad Regional Hospital Riau Province January 2015 - December 2019. This found 304 cases consisted men (55,6%) wom...

A solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPT) is alternatively called a 'Frantz tumor.' It was first named after its discoverer in year 1959. This has been previously designated as papillary epithelial neoplasm, low-grade and neoplasm pancreas. rare pancreatic neoplasm. typically affects young people female predilection. Its histogenesis rather debatable. Acinar, endocrine, ductal...
