Hydatid disease of the urogenital system, especially of the retroperitoneum and seminal vesicles, is a very rare condition. We report a case of hydatid disease located in the liver, retrovesical region and seminal vesicle that was diagnosed incidentally while investigating the etiology of syncope. Transabdominal and transrectal ultrasonography revealed hypoecoic multicystic masses which had thin septations and walls in the liver, retrovesical region and seminal vesicle. Abdominal computed tomography examination showed multicystic low attenuation masses in the same region. Pelvic magnetic resonance image findings revealed multiple cystic masses in the retrovesical region and the right seminal vesicle. In conclusion, the diagnosis of hydatid disease should be kept in mind with patients who have cystic lesions in seminal vesicle and retrovesical region.

Background: Although some studies have revealed the close relationship between leptin and premature ejaculation in clinical practice, whether and how leptin participates in the regulation of ejaculatory behaviors are still unknown.
Objective: To explore the role of leptin on ejaculatory behaviors and its underlying mechanism.
Materials And Methods: Copulation behavior tests were performed after acute and chronic leptin administration at peripheral and central levels.

Background: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with prostate specific membrane antigen ligands (PSMA) is established for use in primary staging of prostate cancer to screen for metastases. It has also shown promise in local tumor staging, including detection of extraprostatic extension (EPE) and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI). Previous studies have shown high heterogeneity in methods and results.

Article Synopsis
- Early detection of neurodegenerative diseases relies on identifying brain-specific biomolecules in blood, and this study explores amyloid precursor-like protein 1 (APLP1) as a new biomarker found in extracellular vesicles (EVs).
- The research confirms that APLP1 EVs in human blood come from the brain, supported by distinct small RNA patterns and the expression of miRNA targets that are highly present in brain tissue.
- Validation using special mouse models (Thy-1 GFP M line) alongside data analysis highlights APLP1 EVs' potential as both diagnostic markers and key players in advancing neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.
Zinner Syndrome in a Young Male: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Zinner syndrome is an extremely uncommon congenital anomaly of the male urogenital tract. It is attributed to an embryological anomaly that arises in the distal segment of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. It is the inadequate migration of the ureteric bud that contributes to the failure of differentiation of the metanephric blastema, which ultimately results in ipsilateral renal agenesis and atresia of the ejaculatory duct.
