AI Article Synopsis
- Segmental testicular infarction is a rare medical condition often confused with testicular torsion and tumors, leading many patients to undergo surgery.
- A 55-year-old male experienced left scrotal pain and was evaluated using Doppler ultrasound and MRI to rule out more common conditions.
- Instead of surgery, the patient was monitored with follow-ups, and after 4 months, he reported no pain and imaging indicated improvement in the testicular lesion.
Article Abstract
Segmental testicular infarction is a rare condition. Patients present with clinical features similar to torsion and testicular tumors, with most undergoing surgery. A 55-year-old male patient presented with left scrotal pain. We did a Doppler ultrasonogram and magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose his condition and rule out testicular torsion and tumor. We decided not to operate and asked the patient for follow-up. There was no pain in the left testis, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a reduction in the left testicular lesion after 4 months.

Prenatal diagnosis of midgut volvulus by fetal MRI: a retrospective study.
Front Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Medical Imaging, Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Fetal midgut volvulus is a rare disease, with a high risk of potentially life-threatening fetal complications.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the imaging findings of fetal midgut volvulus diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore its value in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective collection of data from 156 fetuses suspected of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound examination in our hospital was conducted.
Inhibition of ROS1 activity with lorlatinib reversibly suppresses fertility in male mice.
Andrology

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Osaka University, Suita, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Inhibition of sperm maturation in the epididymis is a promising post-testicular strategy for short-acting male contraceptives. It has been shown that ROS1, a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in the epididymis, is essential for epididymal differentiation, sperm maturation, and male fertility in mice. However, it is unknown if inhibition of ROS1 suppresses male fertility reversibly.

Article Synopsis
- The 46,XX testicular disorder/difference of sex development (DSD) is a rare condition where individuals typically have female chromosomes (46,XX) but display male characteristics, often due to the translocation of a Y chromosome segment to the X chromosome.
- Researchers conducted extensive genetic analysis on blood samples from individuals with 46,XX DSD and controls to explore the genetic variations and their effects on phenotype.
- The study revealed distinct categories of translocated Y chromosome segments and identified transcriptional changes linked to phenotypic traits like height and testicular size, enhancing the understanding of the genetic factors involved in 46,XX DSD.

State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Article Synopsis
- Histological analysis of testicular sections is essential for infertility research but often requires extensive training, prompting the need for faster methods.
- A new deep learning model was developed to analyze mouse testicular sections stained with H&E, resulting in improved accuracy and reduced analysis time while identifying spermatogenic defects in mutant mice.
- The SCSD-Net model enables rapid assessment of reproductive defects in just 2.5-3 hours, revealing significant interactions between Sertoli and DAZ family proteins that impact testis size and meiotic function.
