We report a 13-year-old girl with bilateral paratubal cysts and left isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT). Paratubal cysts are uncommon in children, and IFTT is a rare complication. Awareness of this entity and prompt surgical intervention could potentially salvage the fallopian tube preserving fertility.

Purpose: Surgeons performing an ilioinguinal exposure for acetabular fracture surgery need to be aware of aberrant findings such as inguinal hernias and spermatic cord lesions. The purpose of this study is to report these occurrences in a clinical series of adult males undergoing acetabular fracture fixation and a series of adult male cadavers. The secondary aim is to characterize these abnorma...

Let Σ be a closed orientable surface, and write Map(Σ) for its mapping class group — the group of self-homeomorphisms up to homotopy. The Nielsen-Thurston classification partitions the non-trivial elements of Map(Σ) into finite order, reducible, and pseudoanosov, the last being the “generic” case. A subgroup of Map(Σ) is purely pseudoanosov if every non-trivial element is pseudoanosov. Such a s...

Ovarian torsion is a surgical emergency demanding timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent loss of the ovaries which if happens may result in functional and emotional consequences. Simple (less than 5cm in size) ovarian cysts require follow-up for potential self-resolution. We describe a case of antenatally detected bilateral ovarian cysts that developed bilateral ovarian torsions on follow-up...

In any medical educational project (be it an emergency or otherwise), the first step should be to undertake a needs analysis of the learners and to review the goals of the education. In this case the needs and goals are reasonably straightforward predominantly frontline healthcare workers need basic education on how to recognise and refer patients with suspected testicular torsion. How should w...

INTRODUCTION Torsion of the testis is a well known entity having been first described in detail in 1840. To establish if the management of torsion of the testis has changed in recent years we have carried out a retrospective review of cases presenting to three teaching hospitals and two district general hospitals in Northern Ireland over the three years to 1985. METHODS

The title compound, C(10)H(12)O(2)S, crystallizes with four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The main conformational difference between these mol-ecules is the orientation of the acetyl groups with respect to the ring. Whereas one acetyl group is only slightly twisted with respect to the thio-phene ring [C-C-C-O torsion angles = 165.7 (4), -164.6 (4), 164.3 (4) and -163.6 (4)°], the other ace...

Hemorrhagic infarction of the testicle is an unusual occurrence in the newborn infant. It usually develops as a consequence of torsion of the spermatic cord. We report a case of global testicular infarction in a newborn associated with a tense hydrocele.
