Physician-Owned Hospitals: A Look at the Numbers

Robert A. DowlingMara Holton

Physician-owned hospitals are sometimes characterized as examples of inappropriate self-referral. This perception contributes to legislation and regulation that constrain physician ownership. The true scope of physician ownership and its impact are incompletely understood. This study aimed to better define the current landscape of physician ownership in US hospitals to inform policy making in this area.

Bilateral Testicular Infarction and Orchiectomy as a Complication of Polyarteritis Nodosa

Case Review

Donald S CrainShannon R HerreraSean P Stroup

We report an unusual case of a 28-year-old male with constitutional symptoms and bilateral testicular pain. After diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) hepatitis, his constitutional symptoms and testicular pain worsened despite treatment for epididymoorchitis. Ultrasound was concerning for infarction. Exploration in the operating room revealed bilateral testicular infarction requiring bilateral orchiectomy with subsequent androgen hormone replacement. Pathologic diagnosis was polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). PAN is a rare systemic vasculitis that affects multiple organs. There are no previous reports of PAN-induced vasculitis leading to bilateral testicular infarction and bilateral orchiectomy. [Rev Urol. 2007;9(4):235-238]
