A very unusual association of crossed testicular ectopia, with bilaterally duplicated vasa deferentia, was encountered in an otherwise normal 10-year-old boy who presented with bilateral cryptorchism. The left testis was palpable in the groin; the right was nonpalpable. Because of ductal fusion, both testes were brought down on the same side to avoid damage during separation, with placement of the testes in either hemiscrotum through a transseptal incision.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA is a critical post-transcriptional modification, that dynamically contributes to testicular development and spermatogenesis. Nevertheless, the investigation into the role of m6A in testicular development of sheep remains insufficient. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the m6A transcriptome landscape in the testes of F1 hybrid Southdown × Hu sheep across M0 (0 months old, newborn), M3 (3 months old, sexually immature), M6 (6 months old, sexually mature), and Y1 (1 years old, adult).

Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a poorly understood condition, thought to be caused by the cross-reacting of tumor antibodies with neurons in the brain, resulting in neuropsychiatric sequelae, such as personality and behavioral changes, psychosis, memory loss, and seizures. Anti-contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) antibodies can cause PLE in patients with particular tumors, which in most cases can be identified as thymoma, lung cancer, or endometrial cancer. Some case reports show rare instances with other tumors, such as throat or sigmoid carcinoma.

Background And Purpose: Lymphedema is a debilitating late effect of cancer treatments, yet its prevalence beyond breast cancer remains understudied. This study examined the prevalence of lymphedema symptoms across cancer diagnoses and their association with depression, pain interference, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Patients/material And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Oncology, Copenhagen University Hospital, from February to April 2021, as part of a broader investigation into cancer-related late effects.

Methods to quantify germ cell number in human immature testicular tissues are essential to evaluate the impact of chemotherapy exposures and for optimising cryopreservation protocols used in fertility preservation for prepubertal boys. Established quantification methods rely on the presence of round tubules within the tissue. However, round tubular cross sections are limited in human prepubertal testicular tissues, especially when using in vitro culture.

The neuropeptide phoenixin (PNX) may be involved in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and inflammatory responses. This study aims to investigate the role of PNX in the regulation of HPG axis function in ice hockey players and its impact on body composition. This cross-sectional study included 65 male ice hockey players aged 18-22, divided into untrained, non-elite athlete, and elite athlete groups.
