Semen quality in patients with testicular cancer is associated with age and with greatly elevated levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor semen quality is a well‐known feature in patients with testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) at the time of diagnosis but the underlying biological reasons are incompletely understood. Objectives This study aimed to identify GCT‐specific clinical factors that are involved with poor semen quality in GCT patients.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

Seminal extracellular vesicle sncRNA sequencing reveals altered miRNA/isomiR profiles as sperm retrieval biomarkers for azoospermia [PDF]

, 2023
Background: Non-invasive molecular biomarkers for classifying azoospermia by origin into either obstructive or non-obstructive/secretory azoospermia, as well as for inferring the spermatogenic reserve of the testis of non-obstructive/secretory ...

Obesity Is an Independent Risk Factor for Oligozoospermia, With Co‐Existing Hyperglycemia Exacerbating Risks of Asthenozoospermia and Elevated Sperm DNA Fragmentation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic health plays a critical role in maintaining male fertility and may influence offspring health. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate metabolic indicators into the clinical assessment of male fertility. However, the relationships between different metabolic abnormalities and semen quality remain incompletely understood.

Children Born Using Ejaculated Sperm From Men With Klinefelter Syndrome. Is Sperm Production Associated With Testicular Volume?

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A large number of children have been born using testicular sperm from men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), whereas reports of children conceived using ejaculated sperm are rare. Objective To review all published cases of children conceived using ejaculated sperm from men with KS, assess their health and karyotype, and evaluate ...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection for treatment of non-obstructive azoospermia

Gynecological Endocrinology, 1997
Four cases from a tertiary care teaching medical center were studied to assess the potential of sperm extraction, fertilization and the establishment of pregnancy in couples with non-obstructive azoospermia. Four couples with non-obstructive azoospermia underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection after testicular sperm extraction.

Reinke’s crystals in perivascular and peritubular Leydig cells of men with nonobstructive and obstructive azoospermia: a retrospective case-control study [PDF]

, 2019
Aim To analyze the differences in the population of perivascular and peritubular Leydig cells (LC) and the number of Reinke’s crystals (RCs) in the testicles of infertile men with non-obstructive and obstructive azoospermia.
