  • Clinical, Hormonal and Genetic Characteristics of Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome in 39 Chinese Patients Qingxu Liu, Xiaoqin Yin and Pin Li*
    Liu et al. Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology (2020) 18:34 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12958-020-00593-0 RESEARCH Open Access Clinical, hormonal and genetic characteristics of androgen insensitivity syndrome in 39 Chinese patients Qingxu Liu, Xiaoqin Yin and Pin Li* Abstract Background: Abnormal androgen receptor (AR) genes can cause androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), and AIS can be classified into complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS) and mild AIS. We investigated the characteristics of clinical manifestations, serum sex hormone levels and AR gene mutations of 39 AIS patients, which provided deeper insight into this disease. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 39 patients with 46, XY disorders of sex development (46, XY DSD) who were diagnosed with AIS at the Department of Endocrinology of Shanghai Children’s Hospital from 2014 to 2019. We analysed clinical data from the patients including hormone levels and AR gene sequences. Furthermore, we screened the AR gene sequences of the 39 AIS patients to identify probable mutations. Results: The 39 AIS patients came from 37 different families; 19 of the patients presented CAIS, and 20 of them presented PAIS. The CAIS patients exhibited a higher cryptorchidism rate than the PAIS (100 and 55%, P = 0.001). There were no significant difference between the CAIS and PAIS groups regarding the levels of inhibin B (INHB), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), basal luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T), or basal dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the T:DHT ratio, DHT levels after human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) stimulation or T levels after HCG stimulation. However, the hormone levels of AMH (P = 0.010), peak LH (P = 0.033), basal FSH (P = 0.009) and peak FSH (P = 0.033) showed significant differences between the CAIS group and the PAIS group.

Bajpai and Shasanka Shekhar Panda Department of Paediatric Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi-110029, India Abstract: Prosthesis is an artificial material used as a replacement for its natural counterpart. Use of testicular prosthesis in pediatric urology is limited and indications are well defined. In this review we tried to find out and summarize the current indications and available options in pediatric urology for these prosthesis.

It can mimic epididymitis and must be considered in all people presenting with sudden onset, severe testicular pain. Males less than 20 years are more likely to be diagnosed with testicular torsion, but it can occur at any age. Viability of the testis can be compromised as soon as 6-12 hours after the onset of sudden and severe testicular pain. SCOPE RNs must consult with or refer all suspect cases of epididymitis to a physician (MD) or nurse practitioner (NP) for clinical evaluation and a client-specific order for empiric treatment. ETIOLOGY Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, with bacterial and non-bacterial causes: Bacterial: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) coliforms (e.g., E.coli) Non-bacterial: urologic conditions trauma (e.g., surgery) autoimmune conditions, mumps and cancer (not as common) EPIDEMIOLOGY Risk Factors STI-related: condomless insertive anal sex recent CT/GC infection or UTI BCCDC Clinical Prevention Services Reproductive Health Decision Support Tool – Non-certified Practice 1 Epididymitis 2020 BCCDC Non-certified Practice Decision Support Tool Epididymitis Other considerations: recent urinary tract instrumentation or surgery obstructive anatomic abnormalities (e.g., benign prostatic

  • The Impact of Testicular Torsion on Testicular Function
    Review Article pISSN: 2287-4208 / eISSN: 2287-4690 World J Mens Health Published online Apr 10, 2019 https://doi.org/10.5534/wjmh.190037 The Impact of Testicular Torsion on Testicular Function Frederik M. Jacobsen1 , Trine M. Rudlang1 , Mikkel Fode1 , Peter B. Østergren1 , Jens Sønksen1 , Dana A. Ohl2 , Christian Fuglesang S. Jensen1 ; On behalf of the CopMich Collaborative 1Department of Urology, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, University of Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark, 2Department of Urology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA Torsion of the spermatic cord is a urological emergency that must be treated with acute surgery. Possible long-term effects of torsion on testicular function are controversial. This review aims to address the impact of testicular torsion (TT) on the endo- crine- and exocrine-function of the testis, including possible negative effects of torsion on the function of the contralateral testis. Testis tissue survival after TT is dependent on the degree and duration of TT. TT has been demonstrated to cause long- term decrease in sperm motility and reduce overall sperm counts. Reduced semen quality might be caused by ischemic dam- age and reperfusion injury. In contrast, most studies find endocrine parameters to be unaffected after torsion, although few report minor alterations in levels of gonadotropins and testosterone. Contralateral damage after unilateral TT has been sug- gested by histological abnormalities in the contralateral testis after orchiectomy of the torsed testis. The evidence is, however, limited as most human studies are small case-series. Theories as to what causes contralateral damage mainly derive from animal studies making it difficult to interpret the results in a human context.

The diagnosis was performed by means of finding of supernumerary testes in horses as incidental ultrasonography, intra-operative examination and histological events during castration (Earnshaw 1959) while in confirmation. The case reported here presents an extremely humans the first case was reported during a routine rare anomaly, as no previous studies in veterinary medicine have reported the presence of four testes.

In veterinary medicine, five cases have been published up to now, as illustrated in Table 1. In human medicine, 140 cases have been reported (Bergholz and Wenke Introduction 2009).

  • Multiple Congenital Genitourinary Anomalies in a Polled Goat
    Multiple Congenital Genitourinary Anomalies in a Polled Goat WILLIAM W. KING, DVM, PHD, DIPLOMATE, ACLAM,1,2* MELVIN E. YOUNG,1 AND M. EUGENE FOX, DVM3 A 1-day-old, Toggenburg/Nubian crossbred goat of polled parentage was referred for necropsy because of a large (diameter, 5 cm) bladder-like mass protruding from the perineal midline and difficult urination. Differential diagnoses included cutaneous cyst, ectopic urinary bladder, and urethral diverticulum/dilatation. Several genitourinary aberrations were noted. A second, smaller (diameter, 1 cm), more distal cystic structure was adjacent to an ambiguous prepuce. Testicles were discovered within a con- stricted, subcutaneous space near the inguinal canals. A rudimentary penis was located dorsal to the penile urethra with no appreciable urethral process. A tiny external urethral orifice was discerned only after liquid was injected into the lumen of the cystic structures, confirming their identity as urethral dilatations. The dilatations were separated by a constricting band of fibrous tissue. No other significant findings were detected. This case illustrates a combination of congenital anomalies including bilateral cryptorchidism with scrotal absence, segmental urethral hypoplasia, and urethral dilatation, most likely associated with the intersex condition seen in polled breeds. The continued production and use of small ruminants as animal models demands the prompt recognition of congenital anomalies. This case also exemplifies the precautions required when breeding goats with polled ancestry. The domestic goat (Capra hircus) has historically served and Nubian/Toggenburg sire.
