Published: September 2023

Dark mahseer, Naziritor chelynoides is a vulnerable stream fish in several Asian countries, and developing an effective conservation strategy is impeded by incomplete information about its taxonomy. To address this research gap, in the current study dark mahseer collected from Himalayan stream in India (29°21`99.5` N and 79°33`23.9` E) were examined for their morphometric, meristic, osteological, and molecular characteristics. This study discovered unique features of dark mahseer, including its thin non-hypertrophied lower lip without median lobe, complete post-labial groove, 33 to 34 central perforated lateral line scales, a dark elliptical blotch at the angle of the operculum, and numerous fine black dots on a crescent pattern on scales. This species has 9 to 11 slender gill rakers (595.93±148.71 μm in length), 40 to 41 total vertebrae, 38 to 39 neural spines, 14 to 15 hemal spines, and fused first to fourth abdominal vertebrae. Molecular analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1), cytochrome b (cytb), and ATPase subunit 6&8 (ATPase 6&8) genes revealed the genetic distance of 0.08 to 0.10, 0.12 to 0.13, and 0.01 to 0.11 respectively from other Tor species. Our study enhances knowledge of dark mahseer's taxonomy, supporting conservation strategies for this valuable fish species.

Legenda o sveti Genovefi Martina Cochemskega v slovenščini
Authors: Žejn Andrejka
Published: September 2023

This article deals with the Slovenian book edition of the legend of Saint Genevieve titled Ena Lepa lubesniva inu brania vredna historja od te po nadoushnu ven isgnane svete Grafnie Genofefe is tega mesta Pfalz (A Pleasant Account, Worthy of Reading, of the Wrongfully Banished Holy Countess Palatine Genevieve), published in Kranj around 1800. The article starts by summarizing the genesis of the legend of Genevieve and Martin of Cochem’s version of the legend that was used as the basis for the Slovenian book translation. The assumption that the translator of the legend of Saint Genevieve was Pavel Knobl has been partially refuted. A hypothesis is then put forward that the book edition of the legend may be a printed version of an earlier manuscript in Slovene, which was created as part of Slovenian manuscript culture and is no longer extant. The hypothesis is based on the fact that in the eighteenth century works of Martin of Cochem were translated into Slovenian and spread via Slovenian manuscript culture with a specific language determined by dialect features, variety and a strong influence of German. A linguistic comparison of the book edition of the legend of Saint Genevieve with two manuscript translations of Martin of Cochem’s works into Slovenian – that is, the Carinthian manuscript Dober Legent teh Suetnikou (Good Legends of the Saints) from the middle or second half of the eighteenth century and the Upper Carniolan-Rovte Poljane manuscript from around 1800 – shows some matchings that may indicate the existence of an earlier manuscript created as part of the Slovenian manuscript culture. The book edition can also be linked to the manuscript culture by a short folk piety in the addition in the printed book which is not a part of the German original.
Adaptacja wtórna i inne statusy kondycyjne żałoby rodziców po stracie dziecka
Authors: Dołęga Zofia
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the characteristics of a course of the psychological crisis caused by a critical event, which is the death of a child. The author of the work refers to the cyclical-phase model of developmental changes, which is well-known in the developmental psychology, and the Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement (DPM) of Margaret Stroebe, Henk Schut and Catrin Finkenauer (1999, 2001, 2010, 2013, 2015). What parents experience after the loss of a child is not an identical and parallel process. The course of mourning in parents is not the same. Rather, it is the interweaving of different states of mourning, sometimes with a regression to previous states. The result is a different mental condition of the mother and the father as a consequence of dealing more or less successfully with the loss of a child. The paper, based on theoretical and empirical analyses, proposes an original model of four psychological statuses of parents after the loss of a child. It takes into account the differentiation of the mental condition of parents in connection with the possibility of adequate psychological help. The bereavement status model (MSK) takes into consideration the statuses of secondary adaptation, unfinished mourning, complex persistent bereavement disorder, and the status of possible post-traumatic growth. A hypothesis worthy of empirical verification has been formulated that in assessing the mental condition of parents after the loss of a child, it is worth proposing a specific diagnostic package containing information on the life situation of the family; the time that has passed since the death of a child; the sex of the parent; intensification of feelings of loneliness, availability of social support and its perception by parents, and the assessment of coping strategies for everyday stress. It remains an open question, what are the direct and indirect relationships between these variables and whether their differentiation proves the legitimacy of distinguishing certain conditioning statuses of mourning in parents after the loss of a child. This is currently the subject of an empirical research testing out the MSK model.
Prężność rodzinna – aspekty teoretyczne i praktyczne
Authors: Matuszczak-Świgoń Joanna
Published: September 2023

Since 1930, there has been a shift from an interest only in the resilience of the individual to analyzing it in relation to the family as well. Family resilience is a process of positive adaptation of the entire family and its members, and effective coping with life’s adversities (Luthar et al., 2000). In addition to coping with the demands, family resilience enables development in the face of serious life challenges (Walsh, 2006, 2016). Using the key processes of resilience, a family facing difficulties can emerge stronger and more resourceful in the face of future challenges. Froma Walsh (2013) distinguishes three overarching domains of family resilience: the belief system, the organizational patterns of family life, and the communication and problem-solving process. Research on the post-traumatic growth indicates that a crisis can be a serious warning that increases family’s attention to the core values and important life issues; an opportunity to reassess life priorities that initiates the allocation of more time and attention to meaningful relationships (Tedeschi, Calhoun, 2004). The article presents the definitions and the history of the concept of family resilience. The Walsh model of family resilience is also presented and the practical implications of the model are discussed.
Paradygmat wychowawczy Matki Kolumby Białeckiej i dominikanek w Wielowsi
Authors: Korzeniewska Kazimiera Ewa
Published: September 2023

The Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Dominic, founded in 1861 in Wielowies, Galicia, by mother Kolumba Bialecka was part of the renewal movement in the Order of Preachers in the XIXth century. Mother Kolumba and her sisters, among different types of apostolate, taught in local school, which they founded just after their arrival to Wielowies. Mother Kolumba did not leave any written treatise on educational system, but she and her sisters, formed by dominican spirituality, used educational methods, which can be categorized by the terms of thomistic concept of pedagogics – especially integral human growth focused on the development of mind, free will and body. In this article author restores those methods basing on the sources such as The Book of the Protocols from the Conferences of Teachers in School in Wielowies or The Chronicle of the School and by describing them by the traits specific to the thomistic pedagogics, places them among the dominican tradition of education.
Hysteroscopic management of infected and partially discharged desidual cast in an adolescent: A case report and review of the literature in adolescents
Authors: Telli Elcin , Arda Mehmet Surhan
Published: September 2023

Objective: Decidual cast in other words membranous dysmenorrhea is a rare entity. Hereby, we report the first infected case caused by drospirenon containing contraceptive use and managed successfully by hysteroscopy.

Case presentation: A13 year-old girl started on drospirenon containing contraceptive theraphy since her menarche resulted in menorrhagia and anemia that requires transfusion. On follow up, she developed a partially discharged infected mass revealed to be a decidual cast on pathological review.

Discussion: Membranous dysmenorrhea occurs more frequently in the adolescent and young adult population. All cases in this review were on hormonal theraphy except one occured spontaneously. Cast formation of the immature uterus after menarche is an exaggerated response to dose-independent increased progestin levels.

Conclusion: We conclude that diagnosis of decidual cast/membranous dysmenorrhea should be kept in mind for colicky pain with bleeding of adolescents under hormonal contraceptive therapy and partially discharged cases may be managed successfully by hysteroscopy.
Impact of the type of ductus venosus agenesis and the presence of associated anomalies on prognosis
Authors: Acar Züat , Başkıran Yusuf
Published: September 2023

Objective: The Ductus Venosus (DV) connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. With a portocaval pressure gradient, the well-oxygenated blood in the ductus venosus accelerates towards the left sidewall of the inferior vena cava, directing the blood preferentially towards cephalic and coronary circulation through the foramen ovale (1). DV serves as a shunt, expanding to protect the heart and brain in hypoxic conditions. Ductus Venosus Agenesis (DVA) is a rare congenital abnormality with a prevalence of 0.03-0.07%. The type of DVA, along with any additional anatomical or chromosomal anomalies in fetuses with DVA, significantly affects the postnatal prognosis. Some fetuses with DVA develop normally, while others may experience growth retardation, heart defects, or other complications. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the frequency of associated anomalies in DVA cases, examine the impact of each type of DVA (intrahepatic and extrahepatic venous drainage) on prognosis, and contribute to the literature on this rare disease.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all cases diagnosed prenatally with DVA at a tertiary center between 2016-2019. Our study reviewed obstetric data, associated anomalies, other systemic anomalies, type of DVA, chromosomal or genetic anomalies, and perinatal and postnatal outcomes. Postnatal infants were followed up to the 6th month.
Results: We identified 16 cases with ductus venosus agenesis. The type of DVA (intrahepatic-extrahepatic shunt), presence of chromosomal anomalies, accompanying ultrasonographic findings, and perinatal outcomes were recorded. Generally, in 7 out of the 16 cases, the umbilical vein drained into the portal system (44% - intrahepatic), and in 9 cases, it drained into the systemic venous system.
 Conclusion: DVA is a rare congenital abnormality with potentially significant implications for affected fetuses and infants. Early diagnosis, careful monitoring, and appropriate management strategies are crucial to optimize outcomes for these patients. There's a need for future research to better understand the underlying etiology and pathophysiology of DVA and to develop more effective treatment options for affected individuals.

Authors: Togay Alper , Tekin Duygu , Özer Mehmet , Kılınç Gönüllü Özden Sıla
Published: September 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to research the pregnancy outcomes of women with anti-beta2 glycoprotein 1 and anti-cardiolipin antibody positivity and to determine the association with pregnancy morbidity.

Materials and methods: This retrospective study contained pregnant women with anti-beta2 glycoprotein 1 and anti-cardiolipin antibody positivity and a control group without these antibodies.  Totally 190 serum samples sent from Obstetrics and Gynecology clinics between January 2019 and January 2023 were analyzed in the medical microbiology laboratory of xx.

Results: In a patient population separated into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, the gravida was found to be 3.8±0.1 and 3.5±0.3 respectively (p=0.333). Parity was 1.1±0.1 and 0.8±0.1 (p=0.071), abortion rates were 2.3±0.1 and 2.5±0.2 (p=0.659), and gestational age was 35.7±0.8 and 34±1.5 (p=0.047). Intrauterine fetal death was found to be higher in the antibody-positive group compared to the antibody-negative group (p=0.03). There was no noteworthy distinction noted between the two groups regarding additional pregnancy complications such as intrauterine growth restriction, oligohydramnios, gestational diabetes, and gestational hypertension (respectively p=0.623, 0.074, 0.312, 0.626). However, smoking was significantly higher in the antibody-positive group (p=0.049).

Conclusion: Antiphospholipid syndrome adversely affects pregnancy outcomes. During the initial visit, a thorough patient history should be obtained, and in pregnant women with a history of poor obstetric outcomes or habitual abortions, this syndrome should be considered.

Published: September 2023

Objective: The management and surgery of placenta previa describe a challenging process that requires experience. It is important to decide on the timing of planned cesarean section in women with placenta previa, taking into account the balance between possible maternal severe bleeding and possible neonatal morbidities.

Material and methods: In the present study, the data of 349 singleton pregnant women with a diagnosis of placenta previa uncomplicated by placenta accreta spectrum were analyzed. Patients who underwent planned (68%, n=236) or emergency cesarean section (32%, n=113) were divided into two groups. In this study, maternal demographic and clinical information, surgical procedures and maternal/neonatal outcomes were studied.

Results: The proportion of patients who underwent uterine compression suture and Bakri balloon was found to be significantly higher in the emergency cesarean section group compared to the planned cesarean deliveries group (p<0.001). The operation time, hospital stay, urinary tract infection rate, decrease in hemoglobin and need for blood transfusion were found to be significantly higher in the emergency cesarean section group compared to the planned cesarean section group (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively). In addition, a significant association was detected between emergency cesarean section and prematurity, low birth weight, low APGAR score, increased neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization and neonatal mortality.

Conclusion: Cases of placenta previa are at risk of emergency cesarean delivery, which can be complicated by poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. Equipped centers and experienced teams are of great importance in reducing fetomaternal morbidity and mortality caused by placenta previa.

La crítica de la verdad como adecuación en Julián Marías
Authors: González Fernández Enrique
Published: September 2023

Tanto Tomás de Aquino como Husserl coinciden, respecto a la teoría sobre la verdad, en pensar que (debido a la adecuación) el intelecto hace una copia exacta (absoluta) de una cosa siempre idéntica (igualmente absoluta), y que gracias a ello refutan el relativismo. Pero Julián Marías, entusiasta de la verdad, critica al absolutismo y al relativismo, y piensa que ambos están basados en la verdad como adecuación. La visión que sobre la verdad tiene Marías es consecuencia de su respeto a la realidad, organizada en perspectiva: esta es de la realidad, no del hombre que la mira. Por ello ninguna verdad agota la realidad. Los partidarios de la adecuación suelen aplicar su esquema mental a los objetos irreales o ideales, suponiendo que la realidad como tal, caótica para ellos por la multitud de puntos de vista diferentes, está desorganizada y es fuente de relativismo.

On Aggressive and Self-Aggressive Metaphors in Religious Language: The Cases of Martin Luther and Nicholas Cusanus
Authors: Stünkel Knut Martin
Published: September 2023

Religious language is not all hymns and prayers. This paper intends to indicate challenges concerning the examination of the role of metaphors in religious language, i.e., the ways metaphors generate religious meaning. The case of aggressive metaphors, as exemplified in the works of Martin Luther and Nicholas of Cusa (Cusanus), shows that metaphors change the domains they are employed in. In Luther, the use of aggressive and offensive metaphors is part of the theological agenda and profoundly changes religious language. In Cusanus, self-aggressive metaphors are employed to cataphorically change religious language to reach the divine asymptotically.
Automatic Preimage Attack Framework on Ascon Using a Linearize-and-Guess Approach
Authors: Li Huina , He Le , Chen Shiyao , Guo Jian , Qiu Weidong
Published: September 2023

Ascon is the final winner of the lightweight cryptography standardization competition (2018 − 2023). In this paper, we focus on preimage attacks against round-reduced Ascon. The preimage attack framework, utilizing the linear structure with the allocating model, was initially proposed by Guo et al. at ASIACRYPT 2016 and subsequently improved by Li et al. at EUROCRYPT 2019, demonstrating high effectiveness in breaking the preimage resistance of Keccak. In this paper, we extend this preimage attack framework to Ascon from two aspects. Firstly, we propose a linearize-and-guess approach by analyzing the algebraic properties of the Ascon permutation. As a result, the complexity of finding a preimage for 2-round Ascon-Xof with a 64-bit hash value can be significantly reduced from 239 guesses to 227.56 guesses. To support the effectiveness of our approach, we find an actual preimage of all ‘0’ hash in practical time. Secondly, we develop a SAT-based automatic preimage attack framework using the linearize-and-guess approach, which is efficient to search for the optimal structures exhaustively. Consequently, we present the best theoretical preimage attacks on 3-round and 4-round Ascon-Xof so far.

The problem of personal well-being and satisfaction with the quality of life has recently become increasingly popular both in the field of scientific knowledge and in the field of management. Research shows that a high level of psychological well-being (PB) and the development of its main components support the productive functioning and process of self-realization of the individual. The study showed the presence of a low level of occupational safety among employees of individual simulation centers in Russia. A connection was revealed between the respondents' work safety and their marital status, the presence of children, material well-being and job satisfaction.

Established metrological traceability to SI (system international) is the strength of any reliable quality management system. Accreditation of facilities and Good laboratory practices in conducting studies drives all measurement involved in the system with traceability either through calibration or by use of Reference Material (RM). Whenever the process of calibration become not convenient, RMs could take up the role for assuring reliability in results with stated level of confidence with minimum possible uncertainty in results. Standardizing clinical diagnostics, qualifying different developmental stages of bio-medical devices and biomaterials, development and constructive use of radio nuclear techniques, control of environmental pollution, etc invites special attention in improving quality of life. Onsets of pandemic conditions like SARS – CoV 2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome -Corona Virus 2) triggers emergencies for regulatory approvals. Availability of certified property values of RMs has significant role in qualifying such tests and evaluations. They may support quick release of products like medical devices into market for routine use. Property value of RMs could be quantitative or qualitative. Even though a large quantum of work has established RMs with quantitative property value, the other type still remains as minimally addressed in many countries. Remarkable efforts done at international research laboratories supplies RMs traceable to NIST (National Institute Standards and Technology, USA), USP (United States Pharmacopeia), NPL (National Physical Laboratory) India etc. RM requirements in critical application areas like healthcare are not sufficiently visible to the scientific community and hence do not satisfy global demands. This feature presents an overview of present status on the issue.

Training of colonial priests by French missionaries: Selective assimilation of anti-modernism and colonial education
Authors:   Institute for Historical Studies at Chung-Ang University, Park Boyoung
Published: September 2023

During the Japanese colonial period, the training of priests in the Korean Catholic Church was a long-term program that spanned over 12 years of education, giving rise to a distinctive group of intellectuals during the colonial era. This distinctiveness was further compounded by the conflict and confusion between modernity and anti-modernity, with the defense mechanisms of French missionaries' anti-modernism and anti-republican ideology being integrated into seminary education.
The Japanese colonial education policy, which undermined advanced education by emphasizing the so-called 'harm of reading', drew exquisite agreement from missionaries who were proud of the revolution and republic but internalized anger against secular and anti-church values. The missionaries accepted the 'accreditation' system while tactfully retaining the church's values in actual education, and dealt with it with a backside disagreement.
The so-called fervor for modern education and the legacy of liberalism stirred unrest among the youth. The notion that it eventually fostered socialism posed an equal risk perceived by both the missionary groups and colonial authorities, leading to a reluctance towards higher education. Requests for the establishment of a united theological seminary and the reform of existing seminaries, even those demanded at the Vatican level,were stymied as they were relegated to minor seminary-level secondary education accreditation. The accreditation for the theological college, which boasted the finest faculty for priestly training, was ignored.
The bishops swiftly countered the burgeoning liberalism as a 'negative influence' and promptly removed it from the seminaries. However, even amidst the tumultuous clash of modernity and anti- modernity, the awakened consciousness itself couldn't be extinguished. The exiled republican government in Shanghai, formed by the March 1st Movement, finally unveiled the forbidden terms 'republic' and 'civilization' to Korean priests.
Two Case Reports of Metastases from Colon Carcinoma to the Thyroid
Authors: Poon D , Toh HC , Sim CS
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Secondary malignancy of the thyroid gland is uncommon, but it is a problem requiring ongoing recognition. As it is more common than primary thyroid malignancy, metastatic disease involving the thyroid gland should be actively excluded in a patient with enlarging or abnormal thyroid gland and a previously known primary tumour.

Clinical Picture: We report 2 cases of primary colon carcinoma with metastasis to the thyroid gland that mimicked thyroid anaplastic carcinoma. In both cases, airway compromise was evident.

Treatment and Outcome: Emergency tracheostomy was necessary in the first case with subsequent oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy providing palliation of symptom of breathlessness, with significant reduction in size of thyroidal metastasis. Palliative thyroidectomy relieved airway compromise in the second case.

Conclusion: Our case report highlights the importance of early recognition of thyroidal metastases from a colonic primary as life-threatening airway compromise may otherwise rapidly ensue.
Using Natural STOP Growth Signals to Prevent Excessive Axial Elongation and the Development of Myopia
Authors: Morgan Ian , Megaw Pamela
Published: September 2023

Myopia is emerging as a major public health issue due to its increasing prevalence and long-term pathological outcomes. Prevention must focus on limiting excessive axial elongation which is the cause of both myopic refractive error and its pathological outcomes. The increasing prevalence appears to be due to environmental changes involving near work, rather than to a genetic failure of emmetropisation. Attempts to control the progression of myopia optically have been unsuccessful; the only available preventive regime involves the use of atropine eye drops. This regime has short-term side effects, and since the site and mechanism of action of muscarinic antagonists are unclear, there are concerns about its long-term safety. Recent studies on natural STOP growth signals suggest that they are evoked by relatively brief periods of imposed myopic defocus, and can overcome strong pressures towards increased axial elongation. While STOP signals have only been successfully used in chickens to prevent excessive axial elongation, similar signals are generated in mammals and non-human primates. Further studies may define the conditions under which this approach could be used to prevent the development of myopia in humans.
Is it Possible to Slow the Progression of Myopia?
Authors: Saw Seang Mei , Wong Tien Ying
Published: September 2023

The rates of myopia, including high myopia [spherical equivalent ≥-6 dioptres (D)], have been reported to be rising to epidemic proportions in Asia and solutions to this huge public health problem are urgently needed. Many researchers agree that myopia is not determined solely by genes and that environment may play a huge role.
Clinical PET Imaging – An Asian Perspective
Authors: Ho CL
Published: September 2023

Positron emission tomography (PET) has entered a new phase of development since a major technological breakthrough in 2000. Combined with computed tomography (CT), the second-generation PET-CT scanner is now able to obtain both functional and anatomical information of the whole body from a single study. Its application in oncology has become one of the standard imaging modalities in diagnosis, staging and monitoring therapeutic efficacy. It is well known that the Asian and Western populations have their own characteristic disease spectrum and cancer incidence. Although changes in diet and life-style have narrowed the differences in the last decade, there remains moderate divergence and disparities in cancer pattern and priority of resource allocation in different countries. It is known that F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is the most widely used radiopharmaceutical in PET imaging and it has been confirmed valuable in a variety of cancer types such as lung, colorectum, oesophagus, head and neck (including nasopharyngeal carcinoma), breast, pancreas, lymphoma, melanoma, cholangiocarcinoma and many types of sarcoma. Some cancer types, however, are less sensitive to FDG-PET detection and these include hepatocellular carcinoma, urological carcinoma, gastric malignancy, mucinous and clear-cell gastrointestinal tumours, neuroendocrine tumours and well-differentiated thyroid cancers. Some of these less sensitive cancer types are more prevalent in the Asian population than the Euro-American population and are, therefore, more frequently encountered as false negative cases in FDG-PET imaging. On the other hand, Asian countries are more prevalent in diseases such as tuberculosis and the chance of having false positive FDG-PET cases is higher than the Euro-American countries in the evaluation of lung and other cancers. From the Asian perspective, we are more susceptible to having a higher chance of both false negative and false positive FDG-PET cases. Thus, there is a stronger emphasis of research on new drugs to overcome the limitations of FDG. The use of PET imaging as a diagnostic tool has gained wide acceptance in Asia during the past few years and its clinical utility is expected to continue to rise. More research on other PET radiopharmaceuticals should therefore be given a higher priority along side with the maturation of scanning technology.
Profunda Femoris Artery Pseudoaneurysm Presenting with Triad of Thigh Swelling, Bleeding and Anaemia
Authors: Chong KC , Yap EC , Lam KS , Low BY
Published: September 2023

Introduction: We describe an alternative presentation of 2 cases of femur fractures with pseudoaneurysms of the profunda femoris artery.

Clinical Picture: In both cases, there is a recurrent triad of: (1) thigh swelling, (2) bleeding from the fasciotomy wound, and (3) anaemia with a falling haemoglobin trend.

Treatment: Surgical exploration is often not diagnostic or therapeutic. Angiography can accurately diagnose the presence of a pseudoaneurysm and intervention with coil embolisation is effective in arresting further bleeding.

Outcome: Both cases show good outcome following coil embolisation.
Conclusion: Recognition of this triad is necessary to ensure early accurate diagnosis so that proper treatment is rendered to prevent further recurrent bleeds.

Authors: Chiong E , Tan KB , Siew E , Rajwanshi A , Esuvaranathan K
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Benign intrascrotal tumours are rare.

Clinical Picture: Three patients with bilateral paratesticular leiomyomas, an adenomatoid tumour of the testis and a left paratesticular dermoid cyst coexisting with a synchronous left paratesticular epidermal cyst are presented. These tumours were discrete, hard and smooth lesions, in which the diagnosis of malignancy could not be safely excluded preoperatively even with ultrasonography.

Treatment and Outcome: The first patient had orchiectomy with contralateral testicular preserving surgery, the second patient underwent orchiectomy and the third had conservative testicular surgery.

Conclusion: Awareness of these benign tumours may allow for testicular preservation.
