article: Biopsies for testicular cancer are rarely done because biopsies for this particular cancer increase the risk of the cancer spreading. If a tumor is detected via a clinical diagnosis, ultrasound, and blood tests, then the doctor will remove the tumor in a process called a radical inguinal orchiectomy.  In addition to the tumor, the testicle and spermatic cord will also be removed. If you remove the entire testicle, you have the option of getting a testicular implant.  The tumor and other tissue is then sent to a lab to be examined for cancerous cells. If the analysis of the tumor shows that there are cancerous cells, then your doctor will order imaging tests, such as an ultrasound (to check for fluid or for a solid mass), x-rays, MRIs, CT, PET, or bone scans. The doctor will need images of your body to determine certain important things about your cancer.  Imaging tests will be used to determine if and where the cancer has spread. These tests can help the doctor detect if the cancer has spread to other areas, like the lymph nodes or other organs. A CT scan is recommended if there is suspected metastatic spread to the pelvis and thorax. Imaging tests are also used to see if the treatment is working and if the cancer is returning after treatment. Testicular cancer is divided in stages. The stage of the cancer refers to the severity of the cancer. The stage is determined from the examination of the tumor, where the cancer cells are studies in a lab. Your treatment depends on the stage of cancer, so you will always get your cancer staged when you get diagnosed.  Stage 0 testicular cancer occurs when abnormal cells are found in the testicles. The cells may evolve into cancer, but at this stage they are just abnormal. This may be something like a testicular scar. Stage I cancer is discovered after the testicle(s) is removed. Stage I cancer occurs when the cancer is either in the testicle or the membranes around the testicle. Stage I may also be in the spermatic cord or scrotum. Surgery and close monitoring may be all the treatment that is needed for stage I. Sometimes, chemotherapy or radiation is also used. Stage II cancer is when the cancer is in the testicle, scrotum, and spermatic cord, along with the lymph nodes in the abdomen. Stage II often is treated with radiation therapy. Sometimes, mild chemotherapy is also used. Stage III cancer has the same markers as stage II but has also spread to lymph nodes beyond the abdomen, to the lungs, or other parts of the body. Surgery is often needed to remove tumors in other parts of the body, along with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may involve cisplatin based combination therapy with three cycles of  bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin.  However, men with compromised pulmonary function have to be careful if they are on bleomycin because this chemotherapy can cause lung injury. You will work with a treatment team when you undergo treatment for testicular cancer. Your team will vary depending on what the stage of your cancer is and your options for treating that stage.  You will probably have a urologist, physician assistant, nurses, and nurse practitioners. If you have radiation therapy, you will have a radiation oncologist. If you undergo chemotherapy, you will have a medical oncologist. You may also have social workers or other mental health professionals, physical therapists, or other professionals.

article: You can use bar soap or dishwashing soap. Make sure the ring is evenly coated before sliding it on the mandrel. A ring mandrel is a graduated metal cone, which is used to size rings. You can easily obtain them from general online retailers. Your strikes should be gentle yet firm. Strike at a downward angle; you’re essentially trying to move the ring further down the mandrel. Make sure to turn the ring as you strike, to evenly stretch it.  If you have access to it, use a vice to secure the mandrel. This will make this step much easier. If you only have access to a carpenter’s hammer, you should cover the ring with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the band. If it’s still too tight, you can repeat the process, placing the ring on the mandrel and hammering until it fits. Keep in mind this method can only stretch a ring about half a size. If the ring is struck, you can strike upwards with the mallet to dislodge it.

Kitchen scales weigh substances on a much smaller basis than bathroom scales. Their accuracy, however, is still important to weight loss. Measuring food is an integral part of many diet plans and will help you track your calorie intake better. Since the substances weighed on a kitchen scale are so light, it can be tricky to test its accuracy. Kitchen scales are also extremely helpful for recipes and cooking. To make sure your digital kitchen scale begins at zero, you need to perform a taring test. This will show you whether or not your scale starts its measurements at zero. Turn on the scale. It should start at zero. If it doesn't, press down on the scale gently. Release it and see if it returns to zero. If it doesn't, press the "Tare" button on the scale. This will take the current state of the machine and make it base zero. To test that the taring process works, take an object such as an apple and place it on the scale. Once the scale finds its weight, take note of the weight and then hit the tare button to make it zero. Once it balances, lift the object off the scale. The number that remains, which will be negative, should match the number you measured before. Now that you know the scale is balanced, you need to check its weighing capabilities. Some of the smallest and easiest things to weigh are coins. Each coin has a specific weight and are very small, which will help you check the accuracy of small amounts of weight. Collect a few pennies, a few nickels, and a few quarters. These will help you figure out how accurate your machine is, depending on how specific it measures. Try to find newer change if possible. Older coins may have degraded over time and not be an accurate size. If your kitchen scale rounds to the nearest gram, you should use the nickel. Each nickel weighs five grams. Turn on your scale and make sure it is on zero. Place one nickel on the scale and note the weight. Place another nickel on the scale and note the new weight. Place one more nickel on the scale and note the weight. If your scale is accurate, the weight should have gone up by 5g each time. If it is not, try with another nickel than the one that gave you the off reading. That nickel may be older and degraded. If it is still off, the scale is likely inaccurate. Some scales are so accurate they can measure amounts as small as a tenth of a gram. If your scale does, use the pennies to check the accuracy because they weigh 2.5 grams each. Turn on the machine and make sure it is at zero. Place one penny on the scale and note the weight. Add two more pennies, noting the weight in between each one. The weights should be 2.5g, 5g, and 7.5g. If your reading is off, try a different penny than the one that gave you the wrong weight. If the weight it still off, your scale is likely inaccurate. There are some kitchen scales that are extra precise and measure to the hundredths of grams. For these machines, you need to use a quarter, which weighs 5.67g. Place one quarter on the scale and check the weight. Place another on it and check the weight. Two should be enough for this scale since all three places can be read for both weights. The weights should measure 5.67g and 11.34g. If they don't, your scale is likely inaccurate.
