Background: Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) with history of cryptorchidism and idiopathic NOA are the most common forms of NOA without genetic aetiology. Of all patients with one of these two types of NOA, only a few will have a positive TEsticular Sperm Extraction (TESE). Of those with positive extraction followed by sperm freezing, not all will have a child after TESE-ICSI. What are the ways and probabilities of taking home a baby for patients with NOA and a history of cryptorchidism compared with patients with idiopathic NOA?
Results: Patients with idiopathic NOA or NOA and a history of cryptorchidism who underwent their first TESE were included. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 was composed of 125 patients with idiopathic NOA and Group 2 of 55 patients with NOA and a history of surgically treated cryptorchidism. Our results showed that more than half of the NOA patients succeeded in becoming parents. The main way to fulfil their plans for parenthood is to use sperm or embryo donation (72%) for men with idiopathic NOA, whereas the majority of men with NOA and a history of cryptorchidism had a child after TESE-ICSI (58.8%).
Conclusions: In our centre, before considering TESE for a patient with NOA, we explain systematically TESE-ICSI alternatives (sperm donation, embryo donation or adoption). As a result, the couple can consider each solution to become parents.

Background: Investigate retinal fluid changes via a novel deep-learning algorithm in real-world patients receiving faricimab for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Methods: Multicenter, retrospective chart review and optical coherence tomography (OCT) image upload from participating sites was conducted on patients treated with faricimab for nAMD from February 2022 to January 2024. The Notal OCT Analyzer (NOA) algorithm provided intraretinal, subretinal and total retinal fluid for each scan.
Psychological and Pain Factors in Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro-TESE) for Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: A Comparative Study of Successful and Unsuccessful Cases.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess postoperative pain, depression, and anxiety levels in infertile men who underwent microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) for non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and compare results between patients with successful and unsuccessful sperm retrieval.
Material And Methods: A total of 105 NOA patients participated, completing preoperative Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Situational and Transient Anxiety Inventory (SAI and TAI) questionnaires. Postoperatively, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were recorded.
Objective: To develop an efficient and easy-to-use nomogram that can predict testicular sperm extraction (TESE) success in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) by using pre-operative parameters.
Materials And Methods: Data of 3093 men who underwent TESE for NOA were included in this study. Demographic data, testis volumes, presence of varicocele, length of infertility, history of previous surgeries, history of genitourinary infections, smoking status, chromosome abnormalities, presence of Y-chromosome microdeletion, family history of infertility, testis biopsy, surgical data, sperm retrieval rate, final pathology obtained at TESE, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone levels were recorded.

Plastic pollution, a widespread environmental challenge, significantly impacts marine ecosystems. The degradation of plastic under environmental conditions results in the generation of microplastic (MP; <5 mm) fragments, frequently ingested by marine life, including filter-feeders such as ascidians (Chordata, Ascidiacea). These organisms are integral to benthic-pelagic coupling, transporting MP from the water column through marine food web.

Background: von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominant familial neoplasia syndrome. The most common manifestation of VHL is central nervous system hemangioblastomas. VHL patients will often develop multiple hemangioblastomas along their craniospinal axis over their lifetime.
