Introduction Although women remain vastly underrepresented in urology, the proportion of female urology residents and practicing urologists has steadily increased over last four decades. However, it remains critical to evaluate representation females pipeline when examining trainees urologists. As pertains leadership positions, gender distribution among board directors (BOD) committee chairs American Urological Association (AUA) subspecialties not been studied date. Therefore, we plan...
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can potentially cause decreased spermatogenesis and subsequent infertility. Recent studies have suggested that 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a reliable surrogate for intratesticular testosterone (ITT) essential spermatogenesis. We evaluated data from two ongoing open-label, randomized, two-arm clinical trials amongst different treatment preparations (Trial I) subcutaneous pellets (TP) II) intranasal (NT) or intramuscular cypionate (TC).Seventy-five...
To determine whether the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines can negatively impact semen parameters of young healthy men in long-term.We conducted analyses on 12 before, 3 and 9 months after achieving fully vaccinated status. Individuals who admitted a history infertility or previous azoospermia were excluded from study participation.Healthy male volunteers between ages 18-50 years old recruited September 2021 - March 2022.Semen performed evaluated volume, sperm concentration, total motility, motile...
Increased hematocrit (HCT) is a common adverse effect in men on testosterone therapy (TTh). We aimed to uncover differences HCT changes among receiving different forms of TTh.We conducted single-center, retrospective, matched-cohort study patients treated for deficiency (TD) investigate the three TTh regimens HCT. included who received intranasal (NT), intramuscular (TC), or subcutaneous pellet (TP) between January 2011 and December 2020. matched treatment cohorts 1:1:1 age, body mass index...
Although mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe and effective against SARS-CoV-2, vaccination rates slowed, with some individuals citing impotence as a concern. Therefore, we conducted survey of the US males evaluate impact on erectile function. We hypothesized that vaccinated men would not higher risk ED compared unvaccinated men. Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) was utilized adult male population between August 26 September 2, 2021. Survey participation open 1000 over age 18 currently...
Background Infertility is defined as the inability to establish a pregnancy within 12 months of regular and unprotected sexual intercourse. In response these problems, assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) have made profound impacts on therapeutic management infertility. However, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates are confounded by several internal external factors. A relatively new approach embryo assessment known MitoScore (Igenomix, Miami, USA). As result, we sough evaluate...
Abstract Introduction For accurate evaluation clinicians must consider the variations that testosterone undergoes in human body. The diurnal variation of is well characterized, levels peak morning and decline during day. Seasonal have been reported some studies, but results are inconsistent. Thus, there a lack consensus on whether significant seasonal serum levels. Objective In this study, we aimed to determine if clinically relevant variability exists using large cohort men from two...
Abstract Introduction The testicular microenvironment, consisting of cells including Sertoli and peritubular cells, releases paracrine factors that may regulate function. In previous research, Leptin was identified as a critical factor in the microenvironment. is secreted by binds to its receptor Leydig cells. This interaction triggers expression desert hedgehog signaling pathway, which essential for stem cell differentiation into adult are capable producing testosterone. However, our...
Disorders of sperm production can be classified quantitatively as oligospermia (low count) or azoospermia (no during ejaculation). Numerous genes have been implicated in spermatogenesis. We describe a case two identical twins who presented with different reproductive capabilities. One brother was infertile due to azoospermia, and the other, although oligospermic, previously naturally fathered child. They were found differential gene expression based on RNA sequencing analysis. In man we...
