| | Center for Male Reproduction - Sperm Aspiration |
 | | TESA or testicular sperm aspiration is a needle biopsy of the testicle. | | | Sperm aspiration (when performed using the appropriate technique) is usually a very successful, minimally invasive procedure that allows even men who make very few sperm to conceive a child of their own. | | | Our goal at the Center for Male Reproductive Medicine is to provide the safest, most effective patient care and to collect as much good quality sperm as possible to minimize the need for future multiple surgeries. |

| | Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy |
| | A bone marrow aspiration or biopsy is usually done by a hematologist, medical oncologist, internist, or pathologist, or by a specially trained technologist. | | | If aspiration and biopsy has been done on several places on your body, you may be given pain medicines to take at home or you may stay in the hospital overnight. | | | Arrange for someone to drive you home after the biopsy because you may be given a medicine (sedative) to help you relax. |

| | Aspiration Pneumonia: Current Concepts and Approach to Management |
| | Aspiration of pathogens from a previously colonized oropharynx is the primary pathway by which organisms gain entrance to the lungs, and therefore, in a broad sense, most pneumonias, are aspiration-related. | | | The clinical response to aspirated material is dependent on the interplay between the characteristics of the aspirate and those of the host. | | | The clinical response to this form of aspiration ranges from chronic respiratory complaints, such as cough and wheezing, to atelectasis, or if the aspiration is massive, sudden death. |

| | Postgraduate Medicine: Aspiration pneumonia |
| | Antimicrobial therapy for aspiration pneumonia is often empirical and should be based on patient characteristics, the setting in which aspiration occurred, the severity of pneumonia, and available information regarding local pathogens and resistance patterns. | | | Few recent studies have used appropriate sampling techniques and anaerobic culture methods to define the role of anaerobes in nosocomial pneumonia. | | | There are no specific diagnostic tests for aspiration pneumonia. |

| | p980818c - Cellulitis - Needle Aspiration |
| | On the basis of our results, needle aspiration may not be justified as a routine diagnostic procedure for all adults with cellulitis, though it may still be useful in selected patients. | | | Because aspirate Gram stains and cultures so rarely provided useful bacteriologic information, they were seldom helpful in guiding antibiotic selection or in influencing the outcome of treatment in most patients. | | | On the basis of these results, the needle aspiration technique will most likely yield pathogens in patients with underlying disease that predisposes to the acquisition of cellulitis. |

| | In a bone marrow aspiration, a special needle, known as a University of Illinois needle, is inserted beneath the skin and rotated until it penetrates the cortex, or outer covering of the bone. | | | Bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy are also used to gauge the effectiveness of chemotherapy and other medical treatments. | | | The patient may feel discomfort or pressure when the needle is inserted and experience a brief, pulling sensation when the marrow is withdrawn. |
