Selective spinal immobilization.

Abstract

As medicine moves further along toward science, it is important that EMS makes changes in practice based on sound research. NEXUS and other similar projects are examples of how to apply that principle: Examine the problem, suggest a solution and measure the effect. As more data are collected, I believe we will learn that EMTs can safely apply the same assessment principles in the field that are used in the hospital, and our patients will ultimately benefit from both.

Prenatal bilateral extravaginal testicular torsion--a case presentation.

A newborn male presented at birth with findings consistent with bilateral testicular torsion. Preoperative ultrasound demonstrated no flow to either testicle, and he underwent surgery, during which bilateral extravaginal testicular torsion was confirmed. The right testicle was grossly necrotic and orchidectomy was performed, whereas the left testicle was indeterminate and underwent detorsion and orchidopexy. At 6-month follow-up, the left testicle remained within normal clinical limits with good flow on ultrasound examination.
