We report the first case of a patient suffering from mixed gonadal dysgenesis and fibrosis of the left cavernous body. The patient who complained about erectile dysfunction had received a penile prosthesis and was diagnosed 3 years after surgery when internal rudimentary gonads presented as a lower abdominal mass.

Effects of Intrauterine Isoproterenol Administration on Ovarian Follicular Development in Cows.

Vet Med Sci

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Erzurum, Turkey.

Background: Isoproterenol (ISO) is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor agonist known for its vasodilatory effects. This experiment aims to investigate whether intrauterine ISO administration could alter vascular indices and follicular development in postpartum Holstein cows.

Objectives: The objectives are to evaluate the effects of intrauterine ISO administration on vascular changes and its impact on follicular development compared to placebo groups.

Morbidity in males with 45,X/46,XY resembles the morbidity pattern in Turner syndrome: a national population-based study.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle-Juul Jensens Boulevard 165, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark.

Context: Few studies have reported on males with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. Most studies stem from pediatric settings and knowledge of natural history and long-term health outcomes are therefore lacking.

Objective: To describe long-term health outcomes in males with 45,X/46,XY in comparison to the general population.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for diagnosing testicular infarction: Findings from a retrospective cohort analysis.

Medicine (Baltimore)

December 2024

Department of Science and Education, Dalang Hospital, Dongguan, Guangdong, China.

This study aims to evaluate the ultrasonographic features associated with testicular infarction, determine the diagnostic effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in assessing the testicular vascular system, and investigate the etiological factors contributing to testicular infarction. A retrospective analysis was performed involving 12 patients with confirmed testicular infarction. Each participant underwent standard superficial ultrasound examinations, followed by CEUS.

Intrinsic factors in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa: Genetics, hormones, and the microbiome.

J Am Acad Dermatol

December 2024

Skin Hospital, Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia; University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia; Laboratory of Translational Cutaneous Medicine, Ingham Institute, Sydney, Australia; Department of Dermatology, Liverpool Hospital, Sydney, Australia. Electronic address:

The pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa is complex and multifaceted. Our understanding of disease mechanisms is in constant flux with new genetic, inflammatory, and microbiological insights upending previous paradigms and enlightening us as to the complex connections between different drivers of disease. This updated review integrates novel genetic insights from genome wide association studies, along with novel basic science data from single cell transcriptomic studies and recent interventional translational work to inform our evolving understanding of the disease.

Evaluating ovarian follicles and their steroid hormone gene expression patterns in a high egg-producing research turkey line.

Poult Sci

January 2025

Animal Biosciences and Biotechnology Laboratory, BARC, ARS, USDA, 10300 Baltimore Ave, BARC-East, Beltsville, MD 20705, United States. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares egg production in two turkey lines: the high egg-producing Ohio State University E line and a lower producing random-bred control (RBC1) line, highlighting the importance of understanding these differences for improving flock profitability.
  • E line hens outperformed RBC1 hens by producing 20% more eggs, with their egg production advantage linked to longer clutch lengths rather than an increase in the number of preovulatory follicles.
  • Gene expression analysis showed that E line hens had alterations in the expression of key reproductive genes, suggesting that differences in hormone synthesis may allow their follicles to develop more efficiently, ultimately enhancing egg production without increasing follicle numbers.
