Cryptorchidism in adult male rats was induced by pushing testes of either side into abdomen and suturing the inguinal canals. Histological examination of such tests revealed impeded mitosis and loosening of seminiferous epithelium within 24 hours. Giant cells appeared initially on the luminal side
Abdominal distention is a frequent symptom, being often the initial presentation of systemic diseases or gastrointestinal disorders. Other causes are uncommon. Spermatic cord cysts are infrequent, abdominal location is even rarer, and the size of the cysts is usually not enough to produce abdominal
Genetic, hormonal, and anatomical factors are believed to be involved in the etiology of undescended testes. Due to increased risk of infertility, testicular cancer, torsion and/or accompanying inguinal hernia (>90%) as well as cosmetic concerns, all these patients require treatment. In this review
OBJECTIVE
To present a retrospective, descriptive and observational study performed on a group of patients diagnosed with palpable undescended testicle (PUT) and surgically treated by pre-scrotal access, the "Bianchi technique".
METHODS
The sample consists of a group of patients from 6 to 168 months
BACKGROUND
Partial deletion of the long arm of the chromosome 13 is a rare chromosomal aberration and may present with microcephaly, colobomata, microphthalmia, distal limb and digital anomalies, cardiac defects, brain and urogenital malformations, anal atresia and growth restriction.

A 34-week-old male fetus (first diagnosed at 28 weeks of gestation) with short rib polydactyly type I Saldino-Noonan syndrome is presented in this study. In the postmortem examination of the fetus, pancreatic dysplasia, multiple cysts and multicystic dysplastic kidneys, omphalomesenteric cyst,
Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. We report a 10-year-old boy with lymphatic malformation of the scrotum, which presented as a multiloculated scrotal mass associated with edema of the left thigh and left cryptorchidism. Histopathologic examination showed scrotal
Primary care physicians, including family practitioners and pediatricians, frequently are consulted about children and adolescents with disorders of the inguinal canal and scrotum and are asked about the proper course of management, even if only to confirm an opinion of the surgical specialist. The
We report a male fetus with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, who was treated by laser with resolution of hydrops. Postnatally, the infant had the typical abdominal wall laxity and undescended testes characteristic of prune-belly syndrome. The sonographic diagnosis of cystic
BACKGROUND
Thoracopelvic dysplasia, a variant of asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia (Jeune syndrome), is an uncommon skeletal disorder characterized by a small thorax, pelvic abnormalities and other complex, combined anomalies, including hypomelia, polydactyly and renal anomalies.
METHODS
A 32-year-old
Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 3 (PPCD3) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in ZEB1. To date all identified disease-causing variants were unique to the studied families, except for c.1576dup. We have detected six novel ZEB1 mutations; c.1749_1750del; p.(Pro584*) and
OBJECTIVE
Data on the prevalence of patent processus vaginalis (PPV) and hernia in patients with cryptorchidism are controversial. While some pediatric surgeons do not dissect the processus vaginalis (PV), most prefer to do so to prevent hernia formation and to achieve an effective orchiopexy
BACKGROUND
This study investigated the survival and natural history of trisomy 13 in a series of patients, comparing the management and outcome before and after the implementation of Taiwan's National Health Insurance program (NHI).
METHODS
A total of 28 cases of trisomy 13 seen at Mackay Memorial
Objectives. To determine the demographics and analyze the management and factors influencing the postoperative complications of hypospadias repair. Settings. Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Pakistan, from January 2007 to December 2011. Material and Methods. All male patients presenting with
A teratological study was conducted in pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats dosed orally with diethylstilbestrol (DES), zeranol (ZN), 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (4CB), cadmium, or lead on days 6-18 of gestation. Fetuses were examined on day 19 for growth retardation, resorption, gross malformations, and
