Onm-11: Cancer among Infertile Men

Increased risk of testicular germ cell cancer among infertile men.

BACKGROUND The risk of testicular cancer is thought to be higher among men seeking infertility treatment compared with the general population. Confirmation of this risk in a large US cohort of at-risk patients is lacking. This study explored the association between male infertility and subsequent development of testicular cancer in a US-based cohort. METHODS A total of 51 461 couples evaluate...

Onm-11: Review of Multiple Pregnancies

In Multipregnancies, The careful control of Number of follicles in stimulation cycles and Number of embryos transferred in ART cycles is so important. Just twin pregnancies are reason for racial death (12- 15%). The risk for CP in twin pregnancies is 8 times more and for Triple is 47 times more than simple ones.Approximately all prenatal problems increase in multiple pregnancies and therefore t...

Identity suffering in infertile men

The suffering caused by infertility in a man can have multiple aspects. It can display a narcissistic dimension, an objectal dimension (object-libido) turned toward others or/and an identity dimension. Two clinical case reports were used here to (i) illustrate all these aspects of infertility suffering, (ii) to evidence the difficulty for infertile men to speak about their infertility and (iii)...

Epigenetic germline mosaicism in infertile men.

Imprinted genes are expressed either from the paternal or the maternal allele, because the other allele has been silenced in the mother's or father's germline. Imprints are characterized by DNA methylation at cytosine phosphate guanine sites. Recently, abnormal sperm parameters and male infertility have been linked to aberrant methylation patterns of imprinted genes in sperm DNA. However, these...
