Natasza M Posielski, Daniel D Shapiro, Xing Wang, Brian V LeAsian Journal of Andrology 2019 21(6):540-543 Urologists perform the majority of vasectomies in the United States; however, family medicine physicians (FMPs) perform up to 35%. We hypothesized that differences exist in practice patterns and outcomes between urologists and FMPs. Patients who underwent a vasectomy from 2010 to 2016 were identified. Postvasectomy semen analysis (PVSA) practices were compared between urologists and FMPs, before...

Manesh Kumar Panner Selvam, Ashok Agarwal, Saradha BaskaranAsian Journal of Andrology 2019 21(6):544-550 Seminal plasma is a rich source of proteins and serves as an ideal sample for proteomic analysis of male infertility. In varicocele-associated infertility, the contributory role of seminal plasma proteins specific to unilateral and bilateral varicocele is not clear. Furthermore, there is a lack of specific protein biomarker to differentiate bilateral from unilateral varicocele. The main objective...
Allison Voisin, Fabrice Saez, Joël R Drevet, Rachel GuitonAsian Journal of Andrology 2019 21(6):531-539 Up to 15% of male infertility has an immunological origin, either due to repetitive infections or to autoimmune responses mainly affecting the epididymis, prostate, and testis. Clinical observations and epidemiological data clearly contradict the idea that the testis confers immune protection to the whole male genital tract. As a consequence, the epididymis, in which posttesticular spermatozoa...
