Genetic variants of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were implicated to be associated with male infertility. Our previous whole mitochondrial genome sequencing and association study has identified two susceptibility mtDNA variants for oligoasthenospermia in Han Chinese men. In this study, we tested promising associations in an extended validation using 670 idiopathic oligoasthenospermia cases and 793 ...

Objective: Objective of this study was to explore the effect of empirical antibiotics and micro nutritional blends in infertile men having idiopathic oligospermia, asthenospermia and oligoasthenospermia Materials and Methods: This prospective cross sectional study was undertaken in a tertiary level infertility care unit of Dhaka between September 2005 and December 2007. Two hundred and seven ol...

Background: Oligoasthenospermia (OAS) is a condition characterized by low sperm count associated with low sperm motility. Medical treatment is not known in allopathic system for treatment of oligoasthenospermia. Homeopathic medicine is effective in more than 95% patients. Oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant levels have been projected as a potential factors involved in the pathophysiology...

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is classified as an elective dysmetabolic thesaurotic pneumoalveolitis and characterized by the presence within the alveoli of the lungs of myriad of tiny calculi. The classic presentation of the chest radiography is unmistakable with multiple small "sand-like" opacities diffusely involving both lung fields. We present a case of male infertility for hypop...

Abstract Introduction Obstructive azoospermia accounts for up to 14% of patients presenting fertility evaluation. Fine-needle vasography (FNV) is a diagnostic procedure that can be performed identify an obstruction proximal the ejaculatory duct. Compared traditional vasography, FNV utilizes less-invasive method perform imaging vas deferens and distal structures. Herein we report our experience ...
