Identification and Management of Testicular Mesothelioma Identified Intraoperatively: A Case Series.

Testicular mesothelioma lacks the characteristic presentation of testicular malignancy and often has normal biomarkers at the time of diagnosis causing this malignancy to be overlooked and diagnosed intraoperatively during elective scrotal surgery. We present two cases of testicular mesothelioma that were diagnosed incidentally during hydrocelectomy. These cases emphasize the importance of considering testicular mesothelioma during hydrocele and scrotal mass workup and demonstrate the need for standardized guidelines for the management of testicular mesothelioma.

Cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis results in NLRP3-mediated inflammation in the hippocampus and symptoms of depression in rats.

Recent breakthroughs demonstrate that peripheral diseases can trigger inflammation in the brain, causing psychosocial maladies, including depression. While few direct studies have been made, anecdotal reports associate urological disorders with mental dysfunction. Thus, we investigated if insults targeted at the bladder might elicit behavioral alterations.

Perceived barriers and supports to accessing community-based services for Uganda's pediatric post-surgical population.

Background: Access to pediatric surgical intervention in low-income countries is expanding, but investments in post-surgical care have received less attention. This study explored the barriers and supports for school-aged children to access post-surgical, community-based follow-up care in Uganda as perceived by community stakeholders.

Materials And Methods: This qualitative exploratory case study used in-depth, semi-structured interviews and in-country site visits among Ugandan organizations providing follow-up care to school-aged children in Uganda after surgery.
