        Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 in Human Semen and Effect on Total Sperm Number: A Prospective Observational Study

        Best Jordan C.,Kuchakulla Manish,Khodamoradi Kajal,Lima Thiago Fernandes Negris,Frech Fabio Stefano,Achua Justin K.,Rosete Omar,Mora Belén,Arora Himanshu,Ibrahim Emad,Ramasamy Ranjith 대한남성과학회 2021 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.39 No.3

        Purpose: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has created a surge of research to help better understand the breadth of possible sequelae. However, little is known regarding the impact on semen parameters and fertility potential. We sought to investigate for presence of viral RNA in semen of men with SARS-CoV-2 infection and to evaluate its effect on semen parameters in ejaculate. Materials and Methods: We prospectively recruited thirty men diagnosed with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of pharyngeal swab specimens. Semen samples were collected from each individual using mailed kits. Follow-up semen samples were done with mailed kits or in-person in office setting. Semen analysis and PCR was performed after samples were received. Results: Thirty semen samples from recovered men were obtained 11–64 days after testing positive for SAR-CoV-2 infection. The median duration between positive SAR-CoV-2 test and semen collection was 37 days (interquartile range [IQR]=23). The median total sperm number (TSN) in ejaculate was 12.5 million (IQR=52.1). When compared with age-matched SARSCoV- 2(-) men, TSN was lower among SARS-CoV-2(+) men (p=0.0024). Five men completed a follow-up sperm analysis (median 3 months) and had a median TSN of 18 million (IQR=21.6). No RNA was detected by means of RT-PCR in the semen in 16 samples tested. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection, though not detected in semen of recovered men, can affect TSN in ejaculate in the acute setting. Whether SARS-CoV-2 can affect spermatogenic function long-term remains to be evaluated.

        Advanced Paternal Age and Sperm DNA Fragmentation: A Systematic Review

        Gonzalez Daniel C.,Ory Jesse,Blachman-Braun Ruben,Nackeeran Sirpi,Best Jordan C.,Ramasamy Ranjith 대한남성과학회 2022 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.40 No.1

        Purpose: Male ageing is often associated with defective sperm DNA remodeling mechanisms that result in poorly packaged chromatin and a decreased ability to repair DNA strand breaks. However, the impact of advanced paternal age on DNA fragmentation remains inconclusive. The aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the impact of advancing paternal age (APA) on DNA fragmentation. Materials and Methods: We conducted a thorough search of listed publications in Scopus, PubMed, and EMBASE, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Results: We identified 3,120 articles, of which nineteen were selected for qualitative analysis, resulting in a sample of 40,668 men. Of the 19 articles evaluating the impact of APA on DFI% (DNA fragmentation Index) included, 4 were on Normozoospermic and subfertile men, 3 on normozoospermic, Oligoasthenoteratozoospermic and Teratozoospermic, 6 on fertile and infertile men, 4 on just infertile men, and 2 evaluated a general population. Seventeen of the ninrnteen studies demonstrated APA’s effect and impact on DFI%. Conclusions: Although there was no universal definition for APA, the present review suggests that older age is associated with increased DFI. In elderly men with normal semen parameters, further studies should be performed to assess the clinical implications of DFI, as a conventional semen analysis can often fail to detect an etiology for infertility.

        Clinical Update on Home Testing for Male Fertility

        Gonzalez Daniel,Narasimman Manish,Best Jordan C.,Ory Jesse,Ramasamy Ranjith 대한남성과학회 2021 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.39 No.4

        Male factor infertility accounts for about 50% of the incidence of infertility in couples. In current practice, the men must attend a clinic or hospital facility to provide a semen analysis, which is key to the diagnosis of the male reproductive potential. However, many men are often embarrassed with the process and conventional semen analysis requires complex, labor intensive inspection with a microscope. To mitigate these problems, one of the solutions can be at-home semen analysis. In this review we examine the literature of currently available at home semen analysis test kits, describe their limitations, and compare them to the conventional lab-based methods.
