appearance and liquefication - a normal sample has a gray-opalescent appearance, homogenous and liquefies within 60 min. at room temperature under the influence of prostatic enzymes. liquefaction that does not occur within the normal period may suggest functional disturbance of the prostate. Normal semen samples may contain jelly-like grains which do not liquefy. The sample may appear clear if the sperm concentration is too low. It may also appear brown when red blood cells are present in the ejaculate (haematospermia) Liquefaction time Clinical Implication Within 60 minutes Beyond 60 minutes

When investigating fertility concerns, a common course of action is to rule out sperm cell-related causes of infertility first since obtaining the relevant specimens is generally less invasive. Sperm number and motility are typically the first parameters assessed in a semen sample. Vitality is another commonly assessed parameter, particularly when motility is deemed poor since it allows physicians to differentiate between live non-motile sperm and dead sperm cells. The procedure for determining vitality is to place sperm in a hypotonic solution and observe the specimen under the microscope after a 5-minute incubation. This short incubation time allows for observable cellular changes without causing cell death. What type of microscope would you recommend using to observe sperm cells for this laboratory test and why? Describe what you would expect to observe in the case of a live sperm cell and why? How can you distinguish it from a dead sperm cell in the same sample?

A 16-year-old male patient arrives in the emergency department after a soccer injury where he was hit in the right groin by a soccer ball at high speed. Later that afternoon, the patient noticed that the right side of his scrotum was swollen and painful; he is otherwise healthy. The physician notes that the right testicle is still palpable and seems to be surrounded by a clear fluid. What condition does the patient have? What is the clear fluid, and what is its source? Describe the surgical procedure that will be performed to correct the pathology. Will he experience any long-term effects of his injury?
