A Rare Case Report on Triorchidism | Chapter 03 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Background: Polyorchidism is an uncommon congenital disorder marked by the presence of an extra testis. Only about 200 cases have been documented worldwide. It has a chance of malignancy, thus it needs to be diagnosed and followed up on right away. Polyorchidism management is equivocal, with factors such as the patient's age, location, size, and anatomical arrangement of the testicular system all having a part. Presentation of a Case: On clinical and sonographic evaluation, a 28-year-old male presented with a non-tender scrotal bulge that was identified as triorchidism (the most common type of polyorchidism). Type 2 polyorchidism was present, along with a normal epididymis and vas deference. The situation was handled cautiously, and regular follow-up was recommended. Polyorchidism is a congenital abnormality that is highly unusual. Patients with polyorchidism can be treated conservatively. The management plan will be influenced by the reproductive potential as well as possible a...

“Black Ink” Sonographic Pattern as a Predictor for Invasive Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: A Case Report | Chapter 01 | Emerging Research in Medical Sciences Vol. 2

Background: This study investigated the utility of the Sonographic pattern "Black Ink" with BRAF mutation testing of thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology specimens for the risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Case Presentation: We describe a case of a 41-year-old Caucasian woman affected by a ultrasonography “Black Ink” papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) of the left lobe of the thyroid gland with very tiny size (Ø 0.4 cm). The characteristics, with the Diagnostic Imaging using Ultrasonography (US), Superb Micro-Vascular Imaging (SMI), fine-needle-aspiration cytology (FNAC) and mutation analysis are here discussed. There are more rare subtypes of thyroid cancer as papillary microcarcinoma "Black Ink" that even if small, are invasive and there is why the need to early diagnosis to avoid their aggressive behavior is needed. Nowadays, focusing on the size, the cut-off for non-occult tiny tumors has dropped to 0.3 cm. This value is of great relev...

Risk Factors for Developmental Dysplasia of The Hip | Chapter 02 | New Insights into Disease and Pathogen Research Vol. 2

Aims: To identify the association between potential risk factors with developmental dysplasia of the hip in neonates. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of the Study: Laboratory of Lifestyle, Division of Health Sciences and Engineering, Campus Celaya Salvatierra, University of Guanajuato Mexico, between June 2014 and February 2015. Methodology: We include 100 newborns, 36 male and 64 females with age between 4 and 28 days old. Data on birth weight, family history of hip dysplasia, obstetric presentation, mode of delivery, swaddling was obtained. The diagnosis of hip dysplasia hip ultrasonography with Graf technique was confirmed. For association Chi squared and p value, for the effect was calculated Odds Ratio and confidence intervals at 95%. Results: It was found that obstetric presentation and swaddling were associated with developmental dysplasia of the hip (p <0.05) with OR of 5.32 and 4.91 respectively, and the association w...
