Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord twists, reducing blood flow to the testicle. There are two main types - intravaginal torsion which is more common and often seen at puberty due to a "bell-clapper" deformity, and extravaginal torsion which occurs in newborns without this deformity. Risk factors include a history of cryptorchidism or an abnormally long spermatic cord. Physical exam may reveal an elevated, tender testicle with absent cremasteric reflex. Ultrasound can show reduced blood flow, but surgery should not be delayed for imaging. Manual detorsion can be attempted in some cases but all patients require surgical exploration to detorse

The urethra's main job in males and females is to pass urine outside the body. This thin tube also has an important role in ejaculation for men. When a scar from swelling, injury or infection blocks or slows the flow of urine in this tube, it is called a urethral stricture. Some people feel pain with a urethral stricture.
In this presentation I have shown the etiology, clinical features and treatment for both Phimosis & Paraphimosis. I have also showed various methods of circumcision for both infants and adults.

Testicular torsion refers to the torsion of the spermatic cord structures and subsequent loss of the blood supply to the ipsilateral testicle.
Urological emergency; early diagnosis and treatment are vital.
Mainly disease of Neonates, Adolescents.
The rate of testicular viability decreases significantly after 6 hours from onset of symptoms.
The acute scrotum is the painful, swollen scrotum or its contents of sudden onset. The “acute scrotum” may be viewed as the urologist’s equivalent to the general surgeon’s “acute abdomen.” Scrotal emergencies are rare but potentially life and fertility threatening. The most common causes of acute scrotal pain in adults are testicular torsion and epididymitis.
Patients with scrotal pain less than the age of 16 have torsion until proven otherwise. Scrotal pain with nausea & vomiting is specific for torsion.
A small but real, negative exploration rate is acceptable to minimize the risk of missing a critical surgical diagnosis. TIME IS TESTICLE
it is painful condition for boys , coming in emergency, ultrasound is basic imaging .it is to see testes and accordingly guide the surgeon whether testes could be saved
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
6. Intravaginal torsion
Intravaginal torsion Is the more common
type, occurring most frequently at puberty.
It results from anomalous suspension of the
testis by a long stalk of spermatic cord,
resulting in complete investment of the
testis and epididymis by the tunica
vaginalis. •
This anomaly has been likened to a bell-
clapper
7. “Bell-clapper” deformity, a congenital condition in which the testis hangs
within the scrotum (red arrows) and can swing like a bell clapper in a bell,
allowing for easy torsion. Males born with the bell clapper deformity have no
attachments around either testicle, so that torsion can potentially occur on
either side. The bell clapper deformity is present in approximately 12% of
males; 40% of them are affected in both testicles.
8. Extravaginal torsion
Most often occurs in newborns without
the “bell clapper” deformity.
It is thought to result from a poor or
absent attachment of the testis to the
scrotal wall, allowing rotation of the
testis, epididymis, and tunica vaginalis
as a unit and causing torsion of the cord
at the level of the external ring
9. Etiology
The etiologic factors involved in intravaginal testicular torsion include
congenital anomaly, bell clapper deformity, undescended testicle,
sexual arousal or activity, exercise, active cremasteric reflex, and cold
weather
Contraction of the spermatic muscles shortens the spermatic cord and
may initiate testicular torsion.
Torsion may occur in either
clockwise or
counterclockwise direction
10. Epidemiology:
Most common cause of acute scrotal pain in prepubertal
boys
Torsion present in 3.2% of all children presenting to the ED
with scrotal pain
Risk factors:
History of cryptorchidism,
horizontal testicular lie,
increased spermatic cord length
11.
12. Pathophysiology:
Torsion occurs as the testicle rotates between 90° and 180°,
compromising blood flow to and from the testicle. •
Complete torsion usually occurs when the testicle twists 360°
or more; incomplete or partial torsion occurs with lesser
degrees of rotation. The degree of
torsion may extend to 720°
Testicular salvage is
Most likely if the duration
of torsion Is less than
6-8 hours. If 24 hours or
more elapse, testicular
necrosis develops
in most patients.
17. Pay attention to history, clinical
picture and pain expression of
patient
18. History
Sudden onset of scrotal pain (less
frequently, abdominal or inguinal pain)
Nausea and vomiting
History of blunt trauma (~ 10% of
patients)
History of similar pain in the past
Duration of symptoms should NOT guide
management
Historically, believed that symptoms > 24
hours inconsistent with salvageable tissue
However, testicle may torse + detorse
making it difficult to know how long
ischemia present
19. Physical Examination
Unilateral tender, firm testicle
Scrotal erythema, edema and swelling
Affected testicle typically higher than the unaffected one.
- Loss of cremasteric reflex
30% of males with normal testicles will have an absent
cremasteric reflex
20. stimulation of the skin on the front and inner thigh (over Scarpa's triangle)
retracts the testis on the same side. Stimulus usually causes cremasteric
muscle contraction.
Normal: Cremasteric reflex present (testicle rises). Seen in Epididymitis;
Abnormal: Cremasteric reflex absent (no testicle rise). Suggests Testicular
Torsion
21. Diagnosis
The diagnosis of testicular torsion should be
pursued in any patient with acute scrotal pain.
Physical exam, history and imaging all have
significant limitations.
In patients with a high suspicion for torsion,
emergent surgical consultation should not be delayed
by diagnostic
imaging as “time is testicle”
Scrotal Ultrasound
24. Management:
ALL patients with suspicion for testicular torsion should have
immediate consultation with a urologist for potential operative
exploration and repair.
Establish IV access and provide analgesia
Manual detorsion
Can be attempted if urology consultation is not immediately available
May be successful in
25-80% of testicular
torsion cases (Rosen’s 2014)
Procedure
Place patient supine
Provider stands at the patients feet
Apply “open book” rotation: rotate affected testicle away from midline
Rotation required may be anywhere from 180o – 720o
DR. MANISMK
25. Regardless of the success of manual detorsion, all patients
will require surgical evaluation
Intraoperative finding of a testicular torsion
26. Surgical exploration via scrotal approach with detorsion,
evaluation of testicular viability, orchidopexy of viable testicle,
orchiectomy of nonviable testicle
