Sperm morphology assessment is recognised as a critical, yet variable, test of male fertility. This variability is due in part to the lack of standardised training for morphologists. This study utilised a bespoke 'Sperm Morphology Assessment Standard...
The critically endangered kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) has suffered population declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and predation. Conservation efforts, including translocation to predator-free islands, have helped increase numbers of this flightl...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Infertility affects approximately 15% of couples globally, with male-factor infertility contributing to about half of these cases. Despite advancements in reproductive medicine, particularly in surgical methods, the prevalence of m...
Azoospermia, defined by the absence of sperm in the ejaculate, manifests as obstructive azoospermia (OA) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Reliable predictive models utilizing biomarkers could aid in clinical decision-making. This study included ...
REVIEW PURPOSE: The clinical management of subclinical and symptomatic varicoceles in male infertility remains challenging. Current guidelines focus on treating men with abnormal semen analyses, but a more precise approach to identify, stratify, and ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Infertility impacts one in six couples worldwide, with male infertility contributing to approximately half of these cases. However, the causes of infertility remain incompletely understood, and current methods of clinical managemen...
