Short-Term Hormonal Changes Following Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction among Men with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: Findings from a Large Longitudinal Prospective Multicentric Study.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate possible hormonal changes following microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) across three referral centers.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively analyzed data from 102 consecutive NOA men. Patients with prior hormonal therapies were excluded.

A novel algorithm-based risk classification for vascular damage in men with erectile dysfunction.

Background: Penile dynamic color doppler duplex ultrasound (CDDU) is a relevant tool in assessing men with suspected vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (V-ED).

Aim: To investigate (1) factors potentially associated with V-ED to define risk classes useful in predicting V-ED; (2) the response to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i); and (3) the onset of incident major cardiovascular (CV) events.

Methods: A cohort of men with ED and without known concomitant CVD was grouped into: patients undergoing CDDU (N.

[Obstetric and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies conceived by assisted reproductive technology in an Argentine cohort].

Introduction: Since its introduction in clinical practice in 1981, pregnancies conceived by assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are an increasing proportion of all pregnancies, presenting particular challenges.

Objective: To analyze the maternal-fetal outcomes of pregnancies conceived by ART in a single center in Argentina. Material and methods: Retrospective cohort of pregnancies conceived by ART who attended their delivery in a private university hospital through a review of records.

Tunable electrochemiluminescence of TADF luminophores: manipulating efficiency and unveiling water-soluble emitters.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent (TADF) luminophores offer the potential to achieve 100% Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE) by harvesting both singlet and triplet excitons reverse intersystem crossing from T to S. This class of molecules has therefore been embraced in the pursuit of cheaper and more efficient electrochemiluminescent (ECL) labels. The present study explores how tuning the electron-donating (D) and -accepting (A) strengths of peripheral substituents affects the ECL emission of mono- and dicyanoarene-based TADF dyes.
