Standardizing male pelvic anatomy teaching using a clinical enrichment video.

Introduction: Evolving trends in medical education and modern curricular changes have reduced the amount of time and resources allocated for anatomy education. As the amount of dedicated anatomy education time decreases, more self-directed learning is required. Cadaveric dissection and didactic teaching have been supplemented with multimedia, clinical anatomy, and imaging for over 20 years, with mixed results.

Pediatric testicular torsion management practices A survey of Canadian urologists.

Introduction: Pediatric testicular torsion (TT) is a urologic emergency that may result in testicular loss if left untreated. Testicular salvage is dependent on prompt intervention, and thus delays in diagnosis and management may threaten testicular viability. Knowledge of real-world Canadian practice patterns for pediatric TT will allow optimization of practices based on resource availability and geographic limitations to improve care.

Geospatial analysis of hypospadias and cryptorchidism prevalence rates based on postal code in a Canadian province with stable population.

Introduction: Hypospadias and cryptorchidism are hormone-mediated malformations that occur during male development. Prevalence rates of hypospadias and cryptorchidism are thought to be increasing worldwide. In-utero exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may have a role in the occurrence of these malformations.
