Two cases of bilateral neonatal testicular torsion are reported and combined with 6 previously reported ones. These infants with bilateral testicular torsion are compared with neonates with unilateral torsion. Both have similar signs and symptoms: (1) a swollen bluish-red firm scrotum at birth, and (2) no evidence of spontaneous pain. Infants in neither group had any systemic symptoms. Immediat...

The currently available methods of assessing testicular toxicity and fertility are discussed. Compounds inducing testicular atrophy mainly affect the seminiferous epithelium, with progressive loss of spermatozoa, spermatids, spermatocytes, and spermatogonia. Quantitative histometric analysis of spermatogenesis, together with hormone assays, could be used to advantage in defining the underlying ...

Previous studies on the reproductive toxicity of boric acid have indicated that male rodents suffer testicular atrophy after treatment. There were, however, no studies of the potential effects on female fertility or on the neonate. In addition, no study described the development of the testicular lesion, thought to be related to the mechanism of toxicity. A Reproductive Assessment by Continuous...

Background: We aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of testicular atrophy (TA) in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair at our hospital.Methods: The total patient number is 578.The were divided Group-1 (developed atrophy) Group-2 (did not develop atrophy). testicles evaluated with Scrotal Color Doppler Ultrasonography (SCDU) preoperative postoperative third month.Results: Median...

Monitoring mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) on a former plutonium production site along the Columbia River at the Hanford Site, Washington (USA) revealed 27 (23%) of 116 adult males had unusually shaped, velvet-covered antlers and abnormally developed testicles. We captured 32 males to examine age-class differences and the ratio of affected to unaffected deer and determine whether affected testi...

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...

Leiomyoma of the bilateral testicular tunica albuginea is extremely rare. To our knowledge, there are only 3 definitely reported cases. This is the first report of bilateral testicular tunica albuginea leiomyomas as a potential cause of male infertility. Herein, we report a case of a 47-year-old man who presented with painless bilateral testicular masses for more than 30 years, besides he also ...
