The application of spermatogonial stem cells (SSC) will be more effective and feasible following the successful cryopreservation and transfer of SSCs in livestock. Like other cells, SSCs are also sensitive to cryoinjury; hence composition of the cryomedia and freezing protocols need to be optimized. The present study aims to optimising the best freezing rates by minimising the ice crystallization and dehydration effect in order to maximize the post-thaw SSCs survivability and stemness characteristics.

This study evaluated CT features for distinguishing pheochromocytomas in good and poor washout subcohorts.
Methods: We prospectively analyzed 72 patients with unilateral lipid-poor adrenal masses.
Hidradenoma of Pinna -Report of a Rare Case at a Rare Site.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- A rare case of hidradenoma in the pinna (outer ear) is reported, as such occurrences are not commonly found in medical literature.
- The patient, a 45-year-old female, had a lump behind her right ear for 6 months, with no pain, only a serous discharge.
- After confirming the diagnosis through Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and performing wide surgical excision, subsequent histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient is currently free of recurrence.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to distinguish between isolated pituitary hyperplasia (IPH) and primary hypothyroidism with a nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (PHCNFPA) in patients with high thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and sellar masses to prevent unnecessary surgeries.
- Using a retrospective analysis of patients with TSH >50 µIU/ml from 2020-2022, researchers examined MRI results, symptoms, and other clinical data to categorize patients into IPH or PHCNFPA.
- Results indicated a significant age difference between the two groups, with IPH patients presenting at a younger age, while PHCNFPA patients showed more severe symptoms and larger pituitary lesions; unique imaging features helped in differentiating
Sperm transcriptomics provide insights into subtle differences in sperm fertilization competence. For predicting the success of complex traits like male fertility, identification of hub genes involved in various sperm functions are essential. The bulls from the transcriptome profiled samples (n = 21), were grouped into good and poor progressive motility (PM), acrosome integrity (AI), functional membrane integrity (FMI) and fertility rate (FR) groups.
