The main effect of testosterone was long-time assumed to be on sexual interest and, indirectly, on erectile function. Newer insights demonstrate that testosterone deficiency impairs the anatomical, ultrastructural, biological and physiological/functional substrate of penile erection, which can be, at least in part, restored by normalization of plasma testosterone levels.

Patterned fibrosing alopecia is a form of scarring alopecia that shares clinical, tracheoscopy, and histopathological features with lichen panoplies and androgenetic alopecia. Its onset has been observed in patients following procedures such as hair transplants, facelifts, and other medical-surgical interventions.
Post-Traumatic Headache (PTHA) is the most common symptom after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and may be debilitating or progress to chronic. PTHA is part of Post-Concussive Syndrome (PCS), a constellation of symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, and disruptions in mood, sleep, and cognition.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide, affecting up to 80% of sexually active women throughout their lifetime. Although most infections are transient and asymptomatic, high-risk genotypes such as HPV 16 and 18 are strongly associated with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions
Patients on maintenance HD have a 10-fold higher risk of developing Subdural Hematoma (SDH) than the general population [1,2]. However, non-traumatic SDH is a rare condition resulting to poor prognosis and high mortality [2,3].
A 30-year-old male patient presented to the neurosurgery outpatient clinic with complaints of headache and neck stiffness. Non-contrast brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a basilar artery fenestration in the prepontine region (Figure 1).
Acute limb ischemia is defined as any sudden decrease in limb perfusion, which threatens both limb viability and mortality. Acute limb ischemia with concomitant acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular thrombus in a young male without any comorbidities is rare.
Hibernomas are benign tumours with brown adipose tissue differentiation and are one of few differential diagnoses of fat-rich masses with increased 18F-FDG PET/CT uptake. This report describes a 56-year-old patient with cervix cancer where 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed as part of the diagnostic work up.
The hallmark of diabetes, a long-term metabolic disease, is hyperglycemia brought on by insulin failure. Its rising prevalence around the world emphasizes the necessity of precise and effective forecast techniques. By examining medical data, Machine Learning (ML) has demonstrated potential in the diagnosis and prognosis of diabetes.
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR) is a ventricular ectopic rhythm commonly observed during Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), often seen as a marker of successful revascularization. The occurrence of AIVR post-successful primary angioplasty has not been well described in terms of its time course and associated symptoms, leaving the underlying threat of a potential re-occlusion.
A highly dynamic and complicated system, the Amniotic Fluid (AF) is analysed as a data point to interpret the health of the fetus. Echogenic amniotic fluid is a rare finding that is caused by the presence of particles in the fluid. Vernix caseosa, blood and meconium have all been implicated as the cause of echogenic liquor.
Hyperkeratotic scabies, or Norwegian scabies, are a severe form of scabies occurring in immunocompromised patients or those with a mental deficiency such as Down’s syndrome. It is characterized by a clinical polymorphism posing difficulties in clinical diagnosis
