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...

Testicular seminoma is a relatively common testicular cancer; however, testicular seminoma with pseudocyst is an extremely rare. The 'burned-out' phenomenon in germ cell tumors refers to a germ cell tumor in extra-gonadal tissues with spontaneous regression of an intra-gonadal tumor. We present a case of the testicular seminoma with pseudocyst and coagulation necrosis like burned-out tumor with...

Primary testicular lymphoblastic lymphoma is a rare entity. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy referred with unilateral testicular swelling. After preliminary work-up orchiectomy was performed Histopathology detected primary testicular lymphoblastic lymphoma. Lymphoblastic lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of testicular masses in children.

The aim of the study was the microscopic evaluation of the human spermatic cord vessels, with special attention to the connection between the testicular artery and the veins of the pampiniform plexus. We used the corrosive cast method to visualise the angioarchitecture of the spermatic cord. Casts were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope. We observed that there is a narrow space (pre...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible use of biometric testicular traits as selection criteria for young Nellore bulls using Bayesian inference to estimate heritability coefficients and genetic correlations. Multitrait analysis was performed including 17,211 records of scrotal circumference obtained during andrological assessment (SCAND) and 15,313 records of testicular volum...
