Long-term Outcome of Laparoscopic Surgery for Nonpalpable Undescended Testis.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to objectively assess the long-term results of laparoscopic orchidopexy in patients who were diagnosed clinically to have nonpalpable undescended testis (UDT).

Materials And Methods: All operated cases of nonpalpable UDT from January, 2000, to January, 2014, were reviewed. After informed consent, all patients were subjected to a color Doppler ultrasound examination to assess the location of the testis, its size, blood supply, and consistency.

Is Routine Excision of Dysplastic Testicular Remnants/Nubbins Associated with Nonpalpable Testis Necessary? Is Routine Fixation of Contralateral Solitary Testis Indicated? A Survey on the Prevalent Practice among Indian Pediatric Surgeons.

Background And Aims: Dysplastic nubbin also referred to as testicular regression syndrome (TRS) is found in 5% of cases of the Non palpable testis (NPT). There is no consensus on the excision of the above and fixation of the contralateral solitary testis. We aimed to survey the prevalent practice of the same among members of the (IAPS).

Characteristics and Transmission Dynamics of COVID-19 in Healthcare Workers in a Pediatric COVID-Care Hospital in Mumbai.

Objective: To evaluate if Healthcare workers (HCWs) at the frontline of COVID-19 response in a pediatric hospital are at an increased risk of acquiring SARS-CoV-2.

Methods: The Hospital Infection Control Committee (HICC) and virology testing records were combined to identify SARS-CoV-2 positive HCWs and study the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 over 6 months.

Results: COVID-19 cases in our HCWs cohort rose and declined parallel to community cases.

CEDNIK syndrome in an Indian patient with a novel mutation of the SNAP29 gene.

CEDNIK (CErebral Dysgenesis, Neuropathy, Ichthyosis, and Keratoderma) syndrome is a neuroichthyotic syndrome characterized by a constellation of clinical features including severe developmental retardation, microcephaly, and facial dysmorphism. Here, we report the first case of CEDNIK syndrome from India presenting with characteristic clinical features and harboring a novel mutation of SNAP29 gene.
