Diagnosis and staging of the primary disease involves inguinal orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord and preoperative measurement of serum tumor markers (i.e. AFP, hCG and LDH).

(The word torsion means “to twist.”) The motion also twists the spermatic cord that connects to the testicle. Inside this cord are vessels that carry blood to the testicle. Torsion can slow ...

The two have been participating in the UAB Spinal Cord Injury Model System (SCIMS) research project for 50 years. The SCIMS was established in 1970 as a prospective longitudinal multicenter study on ...

The Grey’s Anatomy star, 52, recently revealed that he has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the spinal cord and nerve cells in the ...

For six years, his character - the handsome Dr Mark Sloan - helped treat sick patients at Seattle Grace Hospital. But now the actor himself - Eric Dane - needs the care of doctors and nurses. For ...

This film explores the complexity of vocal cord vibrations, which occur too rapidly for the naked eye or standard cameras to perceive. By using ultra-high-speed photography at approximately 5,000 ...

Patients on surveillance should have imaging performed at regular intervals, with attention paid to potential sites of relapse, including the retroperitoneum and the ipsilateral spermatic cord.

Or one of them, anyway. It occurs when "the cord (called the ‘spermatic cord’) which carries blood to the testicle becomes twisted," says Cambridge University Hospitals, and I'm given to ...

Those things include parasitic infections, last meals and new insights into animal anatomy. As part of oVert, Stanley and researchers across 25 institutions took CT scans of fluid-preserved ...
