Unusual combination of bilateral testicular microlithiasis and tubular ectasia of the rete testis with left intra‐ and extratesticular varicocele in a 17‐year‐old boy [PDF]

, 2012
We describe the rare combination of testicular microlithiasis, unilateral intra/extratesticular varicocele, and tubular ectasia of the rete testis in a 17‐year‐old boy who presented with testicular pain following a trauma.

Differences in dynamics of specific anti‐nuclear antibodies and their susceptibility to B cell targeting treatment in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective The presence of anti‐nuclear antibodies (ANAs) is characteristic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibody dynamics over time are thought to reflect the cellular source of ANAs and their therapeutic targetability. Anti‐dsDNA is the most prevalent and well‐studied of all ANAs, and fluctuations in anti‐dsDNA serum levels are associated ...

The dynamics of sperm cooperation in a competitive environment [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Sperm cooperation has evolved in a variety of taxa and is often considered a response to sperm competition, yet the benefit of this form of collective movement remains unclear. Here we use fine-scale imaging and a minimal mathematical model to study sperm aggregation in the rodent genus $Peromyscus$.

Unilateral and bilateral cryptorchidism and its effect on the testicular morphology, histology, accessory sex organs, and sperm count in laboratory mice

Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences, 2013
BACKGROUND: Experimental unilateral cryptorchidism (ULC) and bilateral cryptorchidism (BLC) are excellent methods to study undescended testis in relation to spermatogenesis against a temperature gradient.

Sperm counts and sperm sex ratio in male infertility patients [PDF]

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2012
In recent years, investigators have noted a trend toward a declining proportion of male births in many industrialized nations. While men bear the sex-determining chromosome, the role of the female partner as it pertains to fertilization or miscarriage may also alter the gender ratio. We attempted to determine a man's secondary sex ratio (F1 generation)
