Increased public awareness of the performance-enhancing benefits of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs) in athletes has resulted from the media coverage of the BALCO scandal and Mitchell report. The impact of this increased notoriety on the consumption of these drugs remains unclear, however. In addition, the negative connotation associated with the use of AASs may make users less forthcoming when interacting with their physicians. Cutaneous manifestations develop early in the use of AASs, placing dermatologists in a unique position to make an early diagnosis of AAS abuse in patients who engage in competitive sports. This review of the literature focuses on dermatologic presentations of AAS use.

“…Injection of irritant chemicals often leads, swelling of testes resulting from an inflammatory reaction (Okwee et al, 2008). In some testes there was formation of abscess which may be due to failure of full absorption of injected calcium chloride, thereby causing excessive irritation and abscess formation (Al-Ismail et al, 2002;Okwee et al, 2008).…”

Nepal is a rabies endemic country where stray and community dogs are the main reservoir of this life threatening diseases. The orchidectomy is performed to control the male dog population, which is supposed to be very painful and invasive thereby not rational in context of animal welfare. Therefore present study was undertaken to study the efficacy of single intratesticular injection of calcium chloride for neutering of the male dog. Twelve apparently healthy male dogs were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n=4). Group-I received single bilateral intratesticular injection of 20% calcium chloride together with 1% lignocaineHCl at dose determined accordingly with testicular width. Similarly, Group-II received a single bilateral intratesticular injection of sterile normal saline containing 1% lignocaine-HCl. However, the orchidectomy was performed following the standard surgical protocol in the dogs of Group-III. Histopathologically, the calcium chloride injected testicular section demonstrated dissolution of the germ cell association, atrophied seminiferous tubules and washing out of the germ cells from the tubules. In some area, there was coagulative necrosis of the seminiferous epithelium and interstitial spaces as well as degenerated and coagulated germ cells in combination with fibrous tissue. Intertubular edema, fibrosis, hemorrhage were also evident. Some necrotic cells showed desquamation or even calcification. Intertubular vessels were severely congested. There was complete loss of tubular architecture without any distinct boundary between the tubular and extra tubular compartment in some region of testis. The intratesticular injection of 20% calcium chloride did not show any apparent pain, stress, metabolic toxicity and untoward side effect. Histomorphological findings revealed the uneven distribution of damage and inconsistent affect on seminiferous tubules. Therefore, intratesticular injection of calcium chloride could be useful alternative for neutering the male dog.

“…Nous retrouvons aussi des problèmes au site d'injection dans le cas d'administration de stéroïdes anabolisants par ce mode. Ces complications incluent une infection locale de bacilles acido-résistants chez un patient qui s'injectait de façon chronique dans le muscle du fessier (Al-Ismail, Torreggiani, Munk, & Nicolaou, 2002). Par contre, la prévalence d'infection au virus de l'hépatite C est plus basse chez ceux qui s'auto-administrent les stéroïdes anabolisants par injection que chez les gens qui s'injectent d'autres drogues (Aitkena, Delalandeb, & Stanton, 2002).…”

Notre société met une emphase énorme sur la beauté et la performance physique. Il n'est donc pas surprenant qu'une tranche importante de celle-ci prenne recourt à des méthodes drastiques qui lui permettront de s'approcher ou d'atteindre ces objectifs. Une des méthodes devenue populaire est l'utilisation inappropriée de stéroïdes anabolisants. Plusieurs études ont évalué les effets néfastes et indésirables de ces composés à des doses supraphysiologiques. Nous présentons donc une révision et synthèse de ces effets dans le but de mieux comprendre les effets néfastes de ce composé lorsqu'il est utilisé de façon inappropriée.
