Explanation:
Testicular torsion is a medical emergency. ... Testicular torsion causes decreased blood flow to the testes, essentially strangling them of oxygen and nutrients. While it generally occurs in adolescent boys, it may also occur during fetal development or shortly after a baby is born.
Blue baby syndrome, also known as infant methemoglobinemia, is a condition where a baby's skin turns blue. This occurs due to a decreased amount of hemoglobin in the baby's blood.
