A 26-year old young male with severe anemia
Testicular choriocarcinoma is a subset of Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors (NSGT) which is considered the rarest and most aggressive testicular cancer. It primarily affects males between the ages of 25–30 years.

Primary borderline mucinous neoplasm of the testis: A case report and literature review
Testicular/paratesticular neoplasms morphologically resembling surface epithelial tumors of ovarian type are rare neoplasms. The criteria for the diagnosis and nomenclature of these tumors parallels those used for ovarian homologues.

Ultrasound morphological patterns of testicular tumours, correlation with histopathology
Introduction Ultrasound (US) plays a key role in the detection of testicular tumours. However, reliable characterisation of testicular tumours with US is difficult.

Studying the emergence of invasiveness in tumours using game theory [PDF]
Tumour cells have to acquire a number of capabilities if a neoplasm is to become a cancer. One of these key capabilities is increased motility which is needed for invasion of other tissues and metastasis. This paper presents a qualitative mathematical model based on game theory and computer simulations using cellular automata.

Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Kinetic theory of Hyaluronan cleavage by Bovine Testicular Hyaluronidase in Standard and Crowded Environments [PDF]
${\bf Background}$ Details of the kinetic pathways governing enzymatic cleavage of hyaluronic acid (HA) by hyaluronidase are still widely uncharted. Capillary electrophoresis-based assays were used for accurate quantification of enzymatic products. A crowding agent was also employed to mimic excluded-volume constraints typical of in-vivo conditions. $

Network-based community detection of comorbidities and their association with SARS-CoV-2 virus during COVID-19 pathogenesis [PDF]
Recent studies emphasized the necessity to identify key (human) biological processes and pathways targeted by the Coronaviridae family of viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 caused up to 33-55\% death rates in COVID-19 patients with malignant neoplasms and Alzheimer's disease.

Sonographic detection of occult testicular neoplasms.
Testicular sonograms were performed in four patients with pathologically proven metastatic neoplasms but a normal physical examination of the scrotum. An abnormal echo texture was seen in all cases: focal hypoechoic nodule (about 1 cm) in two, diffusely ...

Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA), and perfluorotetradecanoic acid (PFTA), are commonly occurring organic pollutants. Exposure to PFAS affects the immune system, thyroid and kidney function, lipid metabolism, and insulin signaling and is also involved in the ...

JulianA: An automatic treatment planning platform for intensity-modulated proton therapy and its application to intra- and extracerebral neoplasms [PDF]
Creating high quality treatment plans is crucial for a successful radiotherapy treatment. However, it demands substantial effort and special training for dosimetrists. Existing automated treatment planning systems typically require either an explicit prioritization of planning objectives, human-assigned objective weights, large amounts of historic ...
