1.) Hydrocele (member did not use template, no review questions received-this is
all I got) Definition: an accumulation of fluid within the tunica vaginalis
surrounding the testicle; it may also result from a patent processus vaginalis at
birth and sometimes closes spontaneously within the first 1 to 2 years of life.
Hydroceles are the most common cause of painless scrotal swelling.; in adults
they are often the result of trauma, a hernia, testicular tumor, or torsion or a
complication of epididymitis.
Presenting Symptoms: Usually painless and may be present for long periods,
partially resolve, and recur before the patient seeks medical attention. Gradual
enlargement of the scrotum occurs with marked edema, which may be
uncomfortable because of the added weight. A hydrocele may occur secondary to
a tumor when excess serous fluid accumulates in the scrotal sac. It will
transluminate but may make testicular palpation difficult.
Leik Review:
Hydrocele more common in infants. Serous fluid collects inside the tunica vaginalis.
During scrotal exam, hydroceles are located superiorly and anterior to the testes
Most hydroceles are asymptomatic.
Will glow with transillumination. If new-onset hydrocele in an adult or enlarging
hydrocele, order scrotal ultrasound and refer to urologist.
Differential Diagnoses: Epididymitis, Testicular torsion, epididymal cyst

3.) Acute tubular necrosis (member did not use template, no review questions
received-this is all I got)
Definition: reversible or irreversible type of renal failure caused by ischemic
or toxic injury to renal tubular epithelial cells. The injury results in cell death or
detachment from the basement membrane causing tubular dysfunction.
A history of hypotension, fluid depletion, or exposure to nephrotic agents is usually
present. In otherwise healthy individuals, when the underlying insult is corrected,
the patient frequently has a good outcome with complete renal recovery. There is
no specific therapy for acute tubular necrosis apart from supportive care.
Differential diagnosis -Prerenal azotemia, intrinsic renal azotemia
Treatment Options: There is no specific treatment apart from supportive care in
maintaining volume status and controlling electrolyte and acid-base
abnormalities. Nephrotoxins should be ceased or if this is not possible, dose
should be decreased.
