Macrozoospermia is associated with severe male infertility. To date, the only gene implicated in this phenotype is the Aurora Kinase C gene. We report in this work the genetic screening of AURKC mutations in 34 patients with macrozoospermia among 3,536 Algerian infertile men.
Sex hormone-binding globulin, also known as testosterone-estradiol-binding globulin, is a multifunctional protein synthesised by hepatocytes. Sex hormone-binding globulin specifically binds and transports sex hormones to regulate plasma bioactive sex hormone levels and affects their bioavailability.
To assess outcomes of a variant of traditional modeling ("optimal modeling," OM) in patients with residual curvature following prosthesis implantation. We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent penile implant insertion.
To compare standard cultures and next-generation sequencing (NGS) in men with Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). CPPS shares clinical features with urinary tract infections, but bacteria are seldom found.
A proportion of men are infertile despite having normal medical history/physical examination and normal semen analysis. We aimed to assess whether normal sperm parameters per se account for male factor fertility.
Avanafil is a highly selective and potent oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor. However, its impact on the soluble markers of endothelial function has not been investigated yet. This study was conducted to assess the effect of daily avanafil on the endothelial markers’ serum level and erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction.
To summarize the role of prostate MRI in the assessment and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). BPH/LUTS is a very common source of morbidity in aging men.
Prostate cancer (PC) treatment leads to impairment of sexual function. The Prostate Cancer Supportive Care (PCSC) Program’s Sexual Rehabilitation clinic (SRC) assists patients and their partners with sexual recovery using a biopsychosocial approach to rehabilitation.
The aim of this study is to present a summary of current evidence concerning the various treatments in the management of penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy (RP) and provide recommendations for future research.
The purpose of this study was to develop an erectile dysfunction (ED) risk assessment tool suitable for the general population. Based on an ED network survey of the general adult male population in China from October to November 2019, a total of 612 cases with a mean age of 31 years (interquartile range: 28-37) with valid […]
