  • Impact of Infection on the Secretory Capacity of the Male Accessory Glands
    Clinical�������������� Urolo�y Infection and Secretory Capacity of Male Accessory Glands International Braz J Urol Vol. 35 (3): 299-309, May - June, 2009 Impact of Infection on the Secretory Capacity of the Male Accessory Glands M. Marconi, A. Pilatz, F. Wagenlehner, T. Diemer, W. Weidner Department of Urology and Pediatric Urology, University of Giessen, Giessen, Germany ABSTRACT Introduction: Studies that compare the impact of different infectious entities of the male reproductive tract (MRT) on the male accessory gland function are controversial. Materials and Methods: Semen analyses of 71 patients with proven infections of the MRT were compared with the results of 40 healthy non-infected volunteers. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to their diagnosis: chronic prostatitis NIH type II (n = 38), chronic epididymitis (n = 12), and chronic urethritis (n = 21). Results: The bacteriological analysis revealed 9 different types of microorganisms, considered to be the etiological agents, isolated in different secretions, including: urine, expressed prostatic secretions, semen and urethral smears: E. Coli (n = 20), Klebsiella (n = 2), Proteus spp. (n = 1), Enterococcus (n = 20), Staphylococcus spp. (n = 1), M. tuberculosis (n = 2), N. gonorrhea (n = 8), Chlamydia tr. (n = 16) and, Ureaplasma urealyticum (n = 1). The infection group had significantly (p < 0.05) lower: semen volume, alpha-glucosidase, fructose, and zinc in seminal plasma and, higher pH than the control group. None of these parameters was sufficiently accurate in the ROC analysis to discriminate between infected and non- infected men. Conclusion: Proven bacterial infections of the MRT impact negatively on all the accessory gland function parameters evaluated in semen, suggesting impairment of the secretory capacity of the epididymis, seminal vesicles and prostate.

World Journal of Pharmaceutical World Journal and Lifeof Pharmaceutical Sciences and Life Sciences WJPLS www.wjpls.org SJIF Impact Factor: 4.223 ONE TOO MANY- POLYORCHIDISM A RARE CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE Dr. Farman Ali* India. *Corresponding Author: Dr. Farman Ali India. Email ID: [email protected], Article Received on 12/08/2017 Article Revised on 03/09/2017 Article Accepted on 24/09/2017 ABSTRACT Polyorchidism is the incidence of more than two testicles in a male. It is a rare congenital anomaly involving the abnormal division of the genital ridge longitudinally or transversely, mainly occurring in the scrotum. Triorchidism(presence of 3 testes) is the most common occurrence of this condition. They mostly occur on the left side. There have been only 140-200 pathological cases that are published in world journal literature, out of which only a few cases have been reported in India. A rare case was reported of a 20 year old man with polyorchidism presenting with an inguinal hernia, describing the clinical features, it's surgical findings and a review of the literature. The most common sites are: Scrotal(66%), inguinal(25%), and abdominal(9%). This condition is mostly asymptomatic but may commonly present with features like maldescent(40%), hernia(30%), torsion(15%), hydrocoele(9%) and malignancy(6%). Spermatogenesis may be normal only in 50% of cases. If symptoms present, they may be scrotal pain, swelling and infertility. High accuracy of pre-operative ultrasound evaluation of scrotal mass differentiates this benign entity from ominous abnormalities and prevents unnecessary surgical exploration of sonographically normal, uncomplicated and orthotopic supernumerary testes.

  • Level Estimates of Maternal Smoking and Nicotine Replacement Therapy During Pregnancy
    Using primary care data to assess population- level estimates of maternal smoking and nicotine replacement therapy during pregnancy Nafeesa Nooruddin Dhalwani BSc MSc Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2014 ABSTRACT Background: Smoking in pregnancy is the most significant preventable cause of poor health outcomes for women and their babies and, therefore, is a major public health concern. In the UK there is a wide range of interventions and support for pregnant women who want to quit. One of these is nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) which has been widely available for retail purchase and prescribing to pregnant women since 2005. However, measures of NRT prescribing in pregnant women are scarce. These measures are vital to assess its usefulness in smoking cessation during pregnancy at a population level. Furthermore, evidence of NRT safety in pregnancy for the mother and child’s health so far is nebulous, with existing studies being small or using retrospectively reported exposures. Aims and Objectives: The main aim of this work was to assess population- level estimates of maternal smoking and NRT prescribing in pregnancy and the safety of NRT for both the mother and the child in the UK. Currently, the only population-level data on UK maternal smoking are from repeated cross-sectional surveys or routinely collected maternity data during pregnancy or at delivery. These obtain information at one point in time, and there are no population-level data on NRT use available. As a novel approach, therefore, this thesis used the routinely collected primary care data that are currently available for approximately 6% of the UK population and provide longitudinal/prospectively recorded information throughout pregnancy.

  • MANAGEMENT of CONCEALED PENIS in CHILDREN Mohamed A
    AAMJ, Vol. 6, N. 2, April, 2008 ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ MANAGEMENT OF CONCEALED PENIS IN CHILDREN Mohamed A. Abdel Aziz, Samir H.Gouda, Sayed H.Abdalla, Sabri M. Khaled, and Ahmed T. Sayed Paediatric Surgery, Urology, And Plastic Departments, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY Objectives: A concealed penis or inconspicuous penis is defined as a phallus of normal size buried in prepubic tissue (buried penis), enclosed in scrotal tissue (webbed penis), or trapped by scar tissue after penile surgery (trapped penis). We report our results using a standardized surgical approach that was highly effective in both functional and cosmetic terms. Materials and Methods: From April 2003 to October 2007, Surgery for hidden penis from multiple causes was performed in 80 children. Their age ranged from 10 months to 8 years (mean 4.2 years). Tacking sutures were taken from the subdermis of the ventral penoscrotal junction to the tunica albuginea in some cases. A combination procedure with tacking of the penopubic subdermis to the rectus fascia, penoscrotal Z plasty, circumcision revision or lateral penile shaft Z plasty also was performed in some patients. Results: Cosmetic improvement was noted in all cases except one patient that needed re- fixation of the Buck’s fascia to the dermis without significant complications. Conclusions: Surgery for hidden penis achieves marked aesthetic and often functional improvement. Degloving the penis to release any abnormal attachment then fixing the Buck’s fascia to the dermis of the skin has an essential role in preventing penile retraction in most cases. INTRODUCTION Concealed or inconspicuous penis is an uncommon condition that may present from infancy to adolescence.

  • Comparative Gross Morphology of Male Accessory Glands Among Neotropical Muridae (Mammalia: Rodentia) with Comments on Systematic Implications
    MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN NO. 159 Comparative Gross Morphology of Male Accessory Glands among Neotropical Muridae (Mammalia: Rodentia) with Comments on Systematic Implications by Robert S. Voss Div&.~n of Mammals Museum of Zoology University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 and Alicia V. Linzey Department of Biology Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Blacksburg, Virginia 2406 1 Ann Arbor MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNlVERSI2'Y OF MICHIGAN May 20, 1981 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WILLIAM D. HAMILTON, EDITOR The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mrs. Bradshaw, H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available. Address inquiries to the Director, Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109.

Doggett5, Chow-Yang Lee2 & Takashi Adachi-Yamada1 Published: xx xx xxxx The insect male accessory gland (MAG) is an internal reproductive organ responsible for the synthesis and secretion of seminal fuid components, which play a pivotal role in the male reproductive strategy. In many species of insects, the efective ejaculation of the MAG products is essential for male reproduction. For this purpose, the fruit fy Drosophila has evolved binucleation in the MAG cells, which causes high plasticity of the glandular epithelium, leading to an increase in the volume of seminal fuid that is ejaculated. However, such a binucleation strategy has only been sporadically observed in Dipteran insects, including fruit fies. Here, we report the discovery of binucleation in the MAG of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, which belongs to hemimetabolous Hemiptera phylogenetically distant from holometabolous Diptera. In Cimex, the cell morphology and timing of synchrony during binucleation are quite diferent from those of Drosophila.
