Gross Hydrocele With Completely Buried Penis: A Case Report.

A gross hydrocele is caused by fluid accumulation within a layer wrapped around the testicle, called the tunica vaginalis, derived from the peritoneum. A 65-year-old male complained of a non-tender, fluctuant bulge in his right scrotum despite having a fully buried penis, a large hydrocele, and urinary retention. After ultrasonography, the diagnosis was confirmed, and the patient underwent a successful surgical procedure that included a hydrocelectomy and tunica vaginalis excision.

Effect of Obesity on Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Functions Based on Echocardiographic Indices.

Background: Left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions are known prognosticators for cardiovascular morbidity. One of the significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is obesity. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of obesity on the systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle on the basis of echocardiographic indices.

A Cross-Sectional Study of Electrophysiological Changes Occurring in Type II Diabetes Mellitus.

Background Diabetes is a long-term metabolic condition that results in high blood sugar levels from either reduced insulin production or diminished tissue sensitivity to insulin. Peripheral neuropathy is the most frequent consequence of diabetes. In this research project, with the aid of neurophysiological measures, we conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the impact of glycemic management on the physiological functioning of nerves, regardless of the duration of diabetes.

The total antioxidant power of semen and its correlation with the fertility potential of human male subjects.

Background: There are growing evidences that the damage which is caused to the spermatozoa by the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) plays a key role in the male infertility. The seminal plasma is endowed with many enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants which protect the spermatozoa against oxidative stress.The present study was undertaken by using a simple, colourimetric, ferric reducing, antioxidant power for assessing the total antioxidant power rather than the individual antioxidants.
