Testicular arteries anatomy applied to fowler-sthephens surgery in high undescended testis - a narrative review

Int. braz. j. urol; 48 (1), 2022
ABSTRACT Objectives: In this review we will describe the testicular vessels anatomy and the implications of these vessels in surgical treatment of high undescended testis. Material and Methods: We performed a narrative review of the literature about the role of the testicular arteries anatomy in the tr...

The benefit of Silybum marianum in ethanol-induced reprotoxicity of male Wistar rat

Abstract This study investigates the toxic effects of ethanol (Eth) on the reproductive system of male rats and the possible protective role of Silybum marianum seeds-infused solution (SMI) over six consecutive weeks of administration. Animals were divided into the following groups: control, SMI positive...

Ameliorative effects of morel mushroom (Morchella esculenta) against Cadmium-induced reproductive toxicity in adult male rats

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the major toxicants, which affects human health through occupational and environmental exposure. In the current study, we evaluated the protective effects of morel mushrooms against Cd-induced reproductive damages in rats. For this purpose, 30 male rats were divided into 6 groups (...

Tumor del saco vitelino de testículo en pediatria: presentación de un caso
Yolk sac tumor of the testis in pediatrics: a case report

Rev. med. (La Paz); 28 (2), 2022
Los tumores del saco vitelino (TSV) representan los tumores de células germinales (TCG) testiculares malignos más frecuentes en la edad pediátrica. Dicha neoplasia se ha visto vinculados con factores de riesgo tales como criptorquidia, antecedentes familiares, disgenesia gonadal y microlitiasis testic...

Tratamiento hormonal de la pedofilia: ¿puede curar la pedofilia con la castración química?

Históricamente la sociedad ha rechazado el abuso sexual de menores de 13 años, dictándose leyes al respecto. La justicia luego de un debido proceso condenaba al victimario con reclusión incluso hasta la década del 70-80, con orquiectomía. Los adelantos en neurobiología, endocrinología, sicofarmac...

Effects of melatonin on both testicular regeneration and recovery of spermatogenesis in busulfan-treated rats

Abstract Testicular damage is one of the most hazardous effects of chemotherapy as it is frequently associated with oligozoospermia and azoospermia. This study aimed at evaluating the protective effect of melatonin in a rat model of busulfan-induced testicular injury. Rats were divided into four groups: ...

Immature rat testis sustained long-term development using an integrative model

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Xenotransplantation has been primarily performed using fresh donor tissue to study testicular development for about 20 years, and whether the cultured tissue would be a suitable donor is unclear. In this study, we combined testicular culture and xenotransplantation into an integrative model a...

Utility of melatonin in mitigating ionizing radiation-induced testis injury through synergistic interdependence of its biological properties

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Ionizing radiations (IR) have widespread useful applications in our daily life; however, they have unfavorable effects on reproductive health. Maintaining testicular health following IR exposure is an important requirement for reproductive potential. The current study explored the role of mel...

Int. braz. j. urol; 47 (6), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this paper is to propose a modified surgical technique for immediate intravaginal prosthesis implantation in patients undergoing orchiectomy due to testicular torsion, and to evaluate the wound healing process and patient's satisfaction. Material and methods: We prospective...

Gamma-amino butyric acid immunoreactivity in the testis tissue of Wistar and genetic absence epilepsy rats

Int. j. morphol; 39 (6), 2021
SUMMARY: Studies have shown the adverse effects of epileptic seizures on reproductive health. The aim of the present study was to investigate morphological changes, apoptosis and GABA localization in the testis tissue of genetic absence epilepsy rats. Testis tissues of GAERS and Wistar rats were processe...
