10/10 stabbing sensation radiating from the right testicle to the right groin. He also complains of 3 episodes of emesis and intermittent nausea. A bedside testicular ultrasound is performed which shows decreased blood flow to the right testicle. What is the most sensitive physical exam finding associated with this pathology?

Answer: The pathology described in the question is "testicular torsion".

The most sensitive physical exam that is specific to this pathology is testing for reflexes. The inner thigh of the affected side when rubbed should cause the testicle to contract; but in this pathology, it does not.

Explanation:

Testicular torsion is a condition caused by the twisting of the spermatic cord, which causes a loss of blood flow to the testicle. It is the leading cause of testicular loss in adolescent boys, if no surgical intervenvention is carried out as soon as possible.

Devise a method for determining the molecular weight of the fragment you amplified and describe that method below. make sure to
11111nata11111 [884]

The method used here is agarose gel elecrtrophoresis  in which DNA ladder is used  which  is a set of standard used to determine the size of DNA used .The DNA ladder is put adjacent to the DNA fragments to be visualized Suppose if the ladder shows 300 basepair so the DNA adjacent to this number will be of this size.These are the set standards used to determine the size of DNA or RNA. For a range we can take 2% of agrarose to run DNA fragments upto 500 Basepair. Most of the amplified DNA falls into this category size.
