Expression of androgen, estrogen, and progesterone hormone receptors in the penile tissues of children with different types of hypospadias.

Objective: Androgen (AR), Estrogen (ER) and Progesterone (PR) hormones play an important role in the prenatal and postnatal development of urogenital tract and especially the penis. The expressions of AR, ER and PR receptors in penile tissues in children with hypospadiases had also been shown previously. In this leading study, to demonstrate of the sex hormone receptor expression in cases with different types of hypospadias were aimed.

Management of Transverse Testicular Ectopia with Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome.

According to additional anomalies, transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is classified into three groups. Type-2 TTE, accompanied by persistent mullerian duct syndrome, constitutes approximately 20% of the patients. Surgical treatment should be planned after careful physical examination, ultrasonography, and genetic/endocrinologic evaluation.

Four-year retrospective look for acute scrotal pathologies.

Objective: A group of diseases in the scrotum setting forth by the sudden swelling and redness and pain consist of acute scrotal pathologies. The most common causes of acute scrotum in children are epididymitis, epididymo-orchitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, torsion of the appendix testis, incarcerated inguinal hernia and traumatic hydro/hematocele. In this study; we aim to evaulate patients with acute scrotal pathologies who were interned in our department.

Changes in cholinergic and nitrergic systems of defunctionalized colons after colostomy in rabbits.

Background: This study was designed to assess smooth muscle function and motility in defunctionalized colonic segments and subsequent changes in pathways responsible for gastrointestinal motility.

Methods: Two-month-old New Zealand rabbits were randomly allocated into control and study groups. Sigmoid colostomies were performed in the study group.

Clinical features and long-term outcomes of idiopathic urethrorrhagia.

The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features and long-term outcome of the patients who were treated at our institution for idiopathic urethrorrhagia. The data of 10 male patients, who underwent cystoscopy between October 2010 and March 2013 due to urethrorrhagia, were evaluated retrospectively. Ten male patients aged between 8 and 16 years at first submission.

Occurrence of paratubal cysts in childhood: An analysis of 26 cases.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the case files of patients operated on for adnexal pathology between January 2004 and December 2015 at our institution. The data of the patients with a diagnosis of paratubal cysts (PTCs) was extracted. A total of eighty-seven children were operated on for adnexal pathology.

Continuous-type splenogonadal fusion: report of a rare case.

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly. It has two subtypes, discontinuous and continuous. Up to one-third of continuous-type fusion is associated with other congenital anomalies.

The EXIT for Prenatally Diagnosed Cervical Cystic Teratoma: A Case Report.

The Ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) is a procedure performed during caesarean section while on fetal-placental circulation. We present a prenatally diagnosed cervical cystic mass causing tracheal compression which was managed successfully with the EXIT procedure.

Concurrence of Meningomyelocele and Salt-Wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of inherited defects of cortisol biosynthesis. A case of classical CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) with early onset of salt waste and concurrence of meningomyelocele (MMC) was presented here. The management of salt-wasting crisis which is complicated by a postrenal dysfunction due to neurogenic bladder was described.

Testicular cavernous hemangioma presenting as an ipsilateral lesion in a child with multicystic dysplastic kidney.

Childhood malignant testicle tumors are very rare. In the literature to date, it has been reported that there are only 24 cavernous hemangioma cases existing in English literature. In this study, we discuss a testicular mass case which was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma.

Pure gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome) due to microdeletion in the SRY gene: a case report.

46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome) is a rare cause of disorder of sexual development. This syndrome is caused by a defect in the determination of sex during embryogenesis and is characterised with female external genitalia, normal or rudimentary uterus, and streak gonads, despite the presence of the 46,XY karyotype. Most of the studied cases presented with leak of secondary sex characteristics and primary amenorrhea during adolescence.

Single center experience in patients with unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney.

Objective: To determine the clinical features, long-term outcomes, and additional urological anomalies of patients treated for multicystic dysplastic kidney (MDK).

Materials And Methods: Patients with MDK who were followed between January 2004 and October 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological data were evaluated.

Paraurethral Skene's duct cyst in a newborn.

Paraurethral or Skene's duct cysts are rare causes of interlabial masses in neonates. The diagnosis of Skene's duct cysts in the neonatal period is based on its location, in relation to the urethra, and the demonstration of transitional epithelium in the cyst wall. The distinguishing features of paraurethral cysts are the displacement of urethral meatus by the mass and a cyst containing milky fluid.

Liver abscess: increasing occurrence in premature newborns.

Neonatal liver abscess is a very rare condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. There seems to be an increasing trend of this rare condition amongst the newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care units. We report a case of liver abscess in a premature newborn and briefly review the literature and discuss its management.

Does tourniquet application alter the nitrergic responses of rabbit corpus cavernosum penis? A functional study.

Objective: To investigate the effects of short and long periods of tourniquet application on corporal nerves, endothelium and smooth muscle responses.

Methods: After the rabbits were anesthetized with xylazine (5 mg/kg) and ketamine hydrochloride (35 mg/kg), a standard rubber circular band was applied to the base of the penis. After waiting for 20, 40 and 60 min, the tourniquets were removed and the penil tissue was reperfused for 5 min.

An unusual case: a giant paraesophageal hiatal hernia with intrathoracic spleen, preduodenal portal vein, malrotation, and left inferior vena cava.

A giant paraesophageal hiatal hernia with preduodenal portal vein, nonrotating gut, intrathoracic spleen, and left inferior vena cava has not been reported to date. This set of complex anomalies can have significant clinical implications. Awareness of these anomalies is essential to avoid further complications.
