Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is a rare histological subtype of mesothelioma arising from the tunica vaginalis. We present a case of a 23-year-old male with a palpable para-testicular lump of 3 years duration. Scrotal exploration revealed a grossly abnormal cystic appearance of his tunica vaginalis.

Background: The principle aim of this study was to describe the variability of exhaled nitric oxide (FE(NO)) concentrations over 10 months in children with and without asthma.
Methods: FE(NO) was measured on six occasions at 2-month intervals in a community-based cohort of children with and without asthma.
Results: There were 178 children recruited, 47 had asthma, mean age 9.

Rationale: Greater early fetal size is associated with reduced asthma risk and improved lung function in early childhood.
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that associations between early fetal size, asthma symptoms, and lung function persist into later childhood.
Methods: In a longitudinal study, first- and second-trimester fetal measurements were recorded.
