Familial Mediterranean fever as an unusual cause of acute scrotum.

2001

Correct preoperative diagnosis is the crucial step in the management of acute scrotum. With the adjunct of color Doppler ultrasound, torsion of testicular appendages, epidydimitis and orchitis as the more common nonsurgical causes are differentiated reliably from testicular torsion or incarcerated inguinal hernia. Less frequently, acute scrotal swelling is the initial symptom of systemic disorders. Leukemic infiltration of the testis or scrotal involvement in vasculitis

Factor Structure and Construct Validity of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory and Its Shorten Version in Chinese Detained Boys

2019

The Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI) was designed to assess psychopathic traits in adolescents. However, there exists limited evidence for the factor structure and psychometric properties of the YPI when used with Chinese detained juveniles. The present study aimed to examine the factor structure and construct validity of the YPI and its shortened version (YPI-S) in a sample of 607 Chinese 14- to 22-year-old detained boys (M = 17.15, SD = 1.09). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a bifactor model which best fit the data at the subscale level for the YPI, and at the item level for the YPI-S. The internal consistency of the YPI and YPI-S scores ranged from marginal to good. Both t…

Emergency hernia repair in the elderly: multivariate analysis of morbidity and mortality from an Italian registry

2020

Abstract Purpose The incidence of inguinal hernia is higher in elderly because of aging-related diseases like prostatism, bronchitis, collagen laxity. A conservative management is common in elderly to reduce surgery-related risks, however watchful waiting can expose to obstruction and strangulation. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of emergency surgery in a large series of elderly with complicated groin hernia and to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality. The predictive performance of prognostic risk scores has been also assessed. Methods This is a prospective observational study carried out between January 2017 and June 2018 in…
