EXAM: TESTICULAR ULTRASOUND
CLINICAL INDICATION/HISTORY: Scrotal hematoma, follow-up examination, status post urethral reconstruction 8/27/2024
COMPARISON: Testicular ultrasound 9/1/2024
TECHNIQUE: Real-time two-dimensional gray scale, limited spectral/color Doppler interrogation of the scrotal contents was performed.
FINDINGS:
Right testicle- Morphology: Normal size and homogeneous echotexture Size: 4.5 x 2.5 x 3.9 m Vascular evaluation: Spectral and color Doppler analysis confirms unremarkable arteriovenous waveform morphology and preserved vascularity. Epididymis: Unremarkable Hydrocele: Small right-sided hydrocele with thin internal septation and small amount of echogenic debris. Varicocele: None
Left testicle- Morphology: Normal size and homogeneous echotexture Size: 4.1 x 2.1 x 3.5 cm Vascular evaluation: Spectral and color Doppler analysis confirms unremarkable arteriovenous waveform morphology and preserved vascularity. Epididymis: The left epididymal body displays increased vascular flow. Hydrocele: Small hydrocele. Varicocele: None

Scientists have identified a critical factor that may contribute to the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), shedding light on why these infections are so difficult to combat. Their study reveals that the dangerous multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogen, Klebsiella, thrives under nutrient-deprived polymicrobial community conditions found in hospital environments.
