Infertility in Males01:23

Infertility in Males

571
Male infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, arising from various factors that impact different stages of the reproductive process. An endocrine imbalance resulting from conditions like hypogonadism, Klinefelter syndrome, or pituitary disorders can disrupt hormone levels and reduce sperm production. Testicular defects, such as tumors, cryptorchidism, atrophic testes, abnormal sperm morphology, and low sperm count or motility, may arise due to genetic factors, structural...

The Y Chromosome Determines Maleness02:19

The Y Chromosome Determines Maleness

8.4K
The Y chromosome is a sex chromosome found in several vertebrates and mammals, including humans. In addition to 22 pairs of autosomes, the human males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. In these organisms, the presence or absence of the Y chromosome determines the development of male traits.
Evolution
Around 300 million years ago, the two sex chromosomes diverged from two identical autosomal chromosomes. Over time, the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes, shrinking in size....

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

5.1K
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Accessory Ducts of the Male Reproductive System01:25

Accessory Ducts of the Male Reproductive System

3.3K
The male reproductive system is a complex network of organs and tissues that work together to produce and transport sperm. The epididymis, vasa deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra are the accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation. These ducts play a critical role in the production and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle....

Accessory Glands of the Male Reproductive System

The accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation include the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra. These ducts play a critical role in the maturation, storage, and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

20.9K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Summary

Protein C deficiency, a rare cause of arterial thrombosis, can lead to myocardial infarction even without traditional risk factors. Early suspicion is crucial for diagnosing this life-threatening condition.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Hematology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Protein C is a critical anticoagulant, and its deficiency typically causes venous thrombosis.
  • Arterial thrombosis, such as myocardial infarction, is rarely associated with Protein C deficiency.
  • Traditional risk factors for myocardial infarction were absent in the reported case.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of myocardial infarction caused by Protein C deficiency in a young male.
  • To highlight the importance of considering Protein C deficiency in arterial thrombosis, especially when conventional risk factors are absent.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 38-year-old male admitted to the coronary care unit.
  • Diagnostic workup for recurrent myocardial infarction.
  • Genetic testing for Protein C deficiency.

Main Results:

  • The patient experienced recurrent myocardial infarction despite controlled traditional risk factors.
  • Protein C deficiency was diagnosed as the underlying cause.
  • This highlights a rare presentation of Protein C deficiency associated with arterial thrombosis.

Conclusions:

  • Protein C deficiency can manifest as severe arterial thrombosis, including myocardial infarction.
  • A high index of suspicion for Protein C deficiency is warranted in cases of arterial thrombosis lacking typical risk factors.
  • Early diagnosis and management of Protein C deficiency are essential to prevent life-threatening thrombotic events.
