Cadmium（Cd） is a highly toxic heavy metal that accumulates in living system and as such is currently one of the most important occupational and environmental pollutants. Cd reaches into the environment by anthropogenic mobilization and it is absorbed from tobacco consumption or ingestion of contaminated substances. Its extremely long biological half-life（approximately 20-30 years in humans） and low rate of excretion from the body cause cadmium storage predominantly in soft tissues（primarily, liver and kidneys） with a diversity of toxic effects such as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, endocrine and reproductive toxicities. Moreover, a Cd-dependent neurotoxicity has been also related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer＇s and Parkinson＇s diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis. At the cellular level, Cd affects cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and other cellular activities. Among all these mechanisms, the Cd-dependent interference in DNA repair mechanisms as well as the generation of reactive oxygen species, seem to be the most important causes of its cellular toxicity. Nevertheless, there is still much to find out about its mechanisms of action and ways to reduce health risks. This article gives a brief review of the relevant mechanisms that it would be worth investigating in order to deep inside cadmium toxicity.

Antegrade scrotal sclerotherapy is a simple and easy technique for the treatment of varicocele. The success rate varies between 87% and 95%. The initial reflux grade and the number of collateral vessels of the spermatic vein are the most important factors to predict the outcome of the technique. The postoperative complication rate is about 7% and the common ones are scrotal hematoma and epididymo-orchitis of slight severity. Testicular athrophy is a rare event (0.6%). This technique offers a considerable cost reduction compared to other therapeutic options currently available for varicocele.

Inflammasomes are large multipro- tein platforms that translate recog-nition of immune 'danger' into activation of pro-caspase- 1. Caspase- 1 in turn pro- teolytically activates the precursors of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-I~ and IL-18, which are secreted to support the inflammatory response. The recruit- ment of pro-caspase-1 to both NLRP3- and absent in melanoma 2 (MM2)- containing inflammasome complexes is mediated by the apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase- recruitment domain (CARD) (ASC).

Hepatic splenosis refers to heterotopic auto- transplantation and implantation of splenic tissue resulting from the spillage of cells from the spleen after splenic trauma or splenectomy. The true incidence of splenosis is unknown, because this entity is usually an incidental finding at surgery. Splenic implants are usually multiple, and can be localized anywhere in the peritoneal cavity. Splenic implants in the peritoneal cavity may be confused with renal tumors, abdominal lymphomas and endometriosis. We describe computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a rare case of multiple intra-abdominal splenosis located along the hepatic surface and adjacent to the upper pole of the right kidney, mimicking a renal neoplasm.

International migration should be a core subject for global governance, given its transnational nature, and yet it is its ＂ugly duckling＂ and the global community has shied away from taking any concrete action to regulate cross-border flows of people, at least until 2015, when the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean prompted Turkey to include migration in the Antalya agenda. It is unlikely that the international community will move beyond the current consensus based on humanitarian principles and recognize that the free flow of people is a right, on the same level as trade and capital liberalization. At the same time, much of the criticism of migration policies is misplaced.＂ efforts shouM be focused on improving the implementation of existing policies and fine-tune these policies in relation to entrance and integration, preferably in cooperation with the country of origin. The G20 should play a leading role in facilitating such coordination, also taking into account the increasing importance of South-South migration （such as the migration of Chinese citizens to Africa）.
