Discussion Board 13.1: Men's Health Problems SpicyNodes A 38-year-old male presents to your office with a chief complaint of testicular pain. What are 3 differential diagnoses of adult, male, testicular pain? Using Spicy Nodes, present 3 differential diagnoses of testicular pain. For each diagnosis, describe the location and type of pain, associated symptoms, diagnostic testing, and treatment plan. What are 3 differential diagnoses of adult, male, testicular pain? 1. Hydrocele 2. Epididymitis

Running Head: Assisted Reproductive Technologies Abstract ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (ARTs) can be very helpful for certain patients, but ethical concerns have been raised about the inherent nature of specific techniques and the contexts in which many techniques are used. Physicians play important roles in supporting those who wish to become parents and in educating patients about impediments to fertilization and ways to promote conception. We discuss various ethical issues surrounding ARTs

sterilization. In the woman this is done by severing and sealing off the Fallopian tubes. The tubes that carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus. The operation is called a tubal ligation. In the male, sterilization is accomplished by severing the two vas deferens. The tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis. This procedure is called a vasectomy. Surgical sterilization is relatively easy to accomplish for either sex and is virtually free of known side effects, it is also 100 percent effective

temperature is far too warm to keep producing healthy sperm. EPIDIDYMIS - This stores the large numbers of sperm until they are ejaculated out through the penis. In these two ducts, sperm complete their maturation. SPERM DUCT/VAS DEFERENS – The sperm duct, or vas deferens transport sperm from the testes to the urethra. SEMEN-PRODUCING GLANDS - Semen is the fluid produced to protect the sperm from dehydration and the acidic environment of the female vagina after sexual intercourse. Semen allows the

A Typical Cold? by Brent J.F. Hill Part III—Your Explanation of Sam’s Condition Objectives and Issues 1. What type of disease is Sam suffering from? Cystic Fibrosis 2. What tissues and organs does this disease affect? Once you identify all the tissues and organs, briefly explain their respective dysfunction. Exocrine Glands – glands may become blocked, produce excessive secretions Sweat Glands – extreme decrease in salt reabsorbtion, resulting in high salt content in sweat. Lungs – Mucus

located at the base of the tail and the penis anterior to the anus. For the female rat, the vagina was externally located anterior to the anus and there were two rows of mammary papillae. Internally, the male rats have two testes, epididymis and vas deferens from the caudal end of the epididymis (http://www.publichealth). Internally, female rats have ovaries, which are posterior to the kidneys, oviduct, and a vagina. The number of nipples on a female explains the size of a typical rat litter. More

Charles Darwin is a naturalist, well known for his studies on evolution. In 1871 he wrote The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, which explored evidence pertaining to anatomical, medical, embryological, and behavioral differences amongst species. His research findings showed that the human embryo develops the body, cells, proteins, blood, and DNA in developmental stages similar to other species. Darwin also concluded there is evidence that strongly suggests that humans have a common

the function of this enzyme is to turn the hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which has a major impact on the growth and function of the prostate gland [3][5]. • The prostate gland acts rather like a junction box. It allows the tubes “Vas Deferens” that carry sperm from the testicles, and the tubes that drain from the seminal vesicles to meet and then empty their contents into the urethra [4]. • During male orgasm, the glandular cells in the prostate secret a milky fluid called the prostatic

What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease of the secretory glands that produce mucus and sweat. This is caused by mutations on chromosome 7 and can affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinus and sex organs of the patients. What are the symptoms of CF? The signs of cystic fibrosis varies from person to person. With this disease, some experience the severity of conditions at adolescence while others will not experience any symptoms until adulthood. The most prominent
