The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of morphine consumption on sperm parameters, DNA integrity and apoptosis in men taking morphine. Methods In this case-control study, 30 man abusing morphine (cases) and 30 healthy men (controls) were compared in sperm parameters (count, motility and morphology) and sperm chromatin quality, with Aniline Blue (AB), Toluidine blue (TB) and Chromomycin A3 (CMA3) stains. The participants were matched for age, weight, amount and duration of cigarette smoking. Results In men with morphine dependency, sperm progressive and total motility (p=0.038 and p=0.000, respectively) showed a significant decrease compared to the control group. Concerning morphine abuse, although morphine can decrease the sperm chromatin condensation and increases the rate of sperm apoptosis, these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions According to our results morphine dependence can reduce male fertility by affecting sperm parameters.","PeriodicalId":520656,"journal":{"name":"JBRA assisted reproduction","volume":" ","pages":"444-449"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9355429/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39882970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the peritoneal (mild) phenotype of this disease is the most prevalent and linked to infertility. The present study aimed to investigate the p63 gene and protein expression in granulosa cells from pre-ovulatory follicles in patients with endometriosis and infertility submitted to in vitro fertilization.Methods: Twenty-eight patients participated in the study and were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of endometriosis. The p63 gene-expression levels assessment was performed by real-time PCR (qPCR) using the TaqMan assay, and we used immunofluorescence to check the p63 protein expression after IVF.Results: There was no significant difference between the groups regarding age, hormonal levels, oocyte standards, and p63 gene expression. The control group showed an RQ of 1.000 (0.431 to 2.323) and the study group showed an RQ of 0.725 (0.249 to 2.105), p>0.05. Both groups showed a weak expression of the p63 gene (p>0.05).Conclusions: This study described that endometriosis may not affect the p63 gene expression.

However, the benefits for add-ons are often not supported by high-quality evidence. Nevertheless, many infertile patients are willing to try anything that might help them to improve their chances of having a baby. Therefore, the use of add-ons has been widespread and has led to extensive debate and discussion. The goal of this manuscript was to discuss the ethics underling the use of adjunct therapies in clinical practice before their safety has been thoroughly ascertained. IVF patients are routinely offered and charged for a wide range of adjunct treatments that they are told may improve their chance of a live birth, despite there being no clinical evidence supporting such efficacy. Add-on treatments are well accepted by most infertile patients, especially those who have already started their IVF treatments. A particular concern is that many clinics around the world are advertising and offering clinical adjuncts to infertile couples undergoing IVF, however, information on add-ons is often inaccurate. Data concerning the lack of scientific evidence supporting add-on efficacy and whether an add-on may cause unanticipated harm or worsen treatment outcomes is not available on most websites. IVF patients are a vulnerable population, thus there is a need for transparency about interventions for IVF, including uncertainties and risks, to support patient decision-making regarding the use of certain adjunctive therapies. Such information can be provided by clear guidelines and effective regulation.","PeriodicalId":520656,"journal":{"name":"JBRA assisted reproduction","volume":" ","pages":"371-373"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9355445/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40672353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Half of the cases of infertility are due to male factors. Several sperm function tests have been proposed to evaluate male fertility, but sperm analysis is still the first and most important diagnostic test for male infertility. The prognostic value of semen characteristics such as concentration, morphology and motility markers are often confused with male infertility. Evaluation of seminal parameters and classification for normality remains a frequent topic of discussion.Methods: This study evaluated 477 semen samples from men undergoing investigation or infertility treatment between 2011 and 2015.Results: The spermograms of 401 patients were deemed abnormal based on the 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria; the number changed to 223 when the spermograms were assessed based on the 2010 WHO criteria and to 200 when Total Motile Sperm Count (TMSC) was used as the criterion. Sperm morphology was the item in the criteria that most significantly changed spermogram classification. Normality parameters became less rigid from 1999 to 2010, thereby significantly changing the proportion of individuals no longer described as infertile/subfertile.Conclusions: The classification based on TMSC could not differentiate between fertile and infertile subjects for not taking sperm morphology into account.

We ran a systematic search for studies in MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library. A librarian coordinated the search in December of 2020. We included all original peer-reviewed papers in English, irrespective of study-design. There were no restrictions concerning method of amplification or platform used to analyze the amplified DNA. We used the PICO model to select the study population. We included women/couples submitted to COS for IVF with the intention to genetically analyze her/their embryos through PGT. The primary outcome was the rate of aneuploidy. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) score to evaluate the quality of the studies included. The search yielded 73 citations, and 14 were eligible for analysis, which included data on 4805 cycles. Media quality NOS score was 8. Although it has been demonstrated that natural cycles are associated with aneuploidy, it does seem that more robust stimulations are indeed associated with a higher proportion of aneuploidy. Nevertheless, a higher response is associated with an increased number of euploid embryos available for transfer, which translates into more embryo-transfer cycles with a prospective higher cumulative live birth rate. Further evidence is needed to ascertain if there is a negative impact of COS, especially at the cellular level.","PeriodicalId":520656,"journal":{"name":"JBRA assisted reproduction","volume":" ","pages":"348-361"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9118955/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39691147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this treatment, he participated in a study to evaluate a method of sperm DNA fragmentation analysis. He had 99% fragmented sperm, primarily attributed to prolonged abstinence. The samples that were analyzed later indicated that the high fragmentation could be associated with the antifungal treatment and that with a 2-day abstinence and absence of treatment the fragmentation rate was again comparable with that of fertile men (15%).Conclusion: Terbinafine hydrochloride is likely to cause problems in male fertility, mainly affecting DNA sperm integrity.
