	Ecchymosis What Causes It? - short Report No 62
		Ecchymosis was common in the carcasses of deer killed by head only electrical stunning, a method preferred because of compatibility with the requirements of Muslim carcasses in both domestic and export markets.
		This study has shown that a number of factors contribute to the expression of ecchymosis in the carcasses of slaughtered deer, and that tailoring of slaughter procedures to suit particular slaughter systems is necessary, to reduce the extent to which ecchymosis occurs.
		Where ecchymosis is detected in the left round of a carcass by this method the carcass should not be exported whole as usually ecchymosis will be exhibited in every other hind leg primal and loin.

	eMedicine - Scrotal Trauma : Article Excerpt by: Robert A Mevorach, MD
		A wide variety of traumatic mechanisms have been reported to result in scrotal trauma, with a common endpoint of blunt and/or penetrating trauma to the scrotal area.
		Immediate presentation is the standard for penetrating wounds, but blunt force trauma frequently has a delayed presentation if it is not associated with testicular dislocation or multisystem injury.
		Minor injuries that result in extensive scrotal pain, swelling, or ecchymosis must be considered for secondary testis torsion and managed per that algorithm (see Testicular Torsion).
