The introduction does not give me a clear idea of the scope of the project. Not ready for peer review.


Hey guys, I have just had a really quick look on PubMed and I found a good starting article. Its a review article (I'm pretty sure) so I'm not sure if we can use it, but it discusses some interesting genetic causes of male infertility and also references a lot of primary articles.

Discussion

--Mark Hill (talk) 11:20, 25 September 2015 (AEST) OK I discussed this with your group in last week's lab. you have not shown animal models, graphics, histology, media etc to really build your project page. The introduction does not give me a clear idea of the scope of the project. Not ready for peer review.


Hey guys, I have just had a really quick look on PubMed and I found a good starting article. Its a review article (I'm pretty sure) so I'm not sure if we can use it, but it discusses some interesting genetic causes of male infertility and also references a lot of primary articles.

PMID 26178295

I can't seem to view anything but the first page of the article but the introduction gives a good idea on what male infertility is and how it arises. At the moment I have found 2 research articles that address factors that can increase male fertility. Although they do not address male infertility conditions specifically, in the discussion they imply that these methods can be applied to men who have them such as oligospermia and azoospermia. I feel as though we can use these articles when discussing alternative therapies for successful conception. Please have a read and share your opinions!

PMID 22958644 - note that you can only view the condensed version of this article

PMID 26097523 - you can view the whole article on biomed (subheadings in the discussion particularly addresses male infertility)

--Z3462297 (talk) 14:17, 25 August 2015 (AEST)


Hey guys, it was pretty hard finding research articles from Pubmed regarding the epidemiology of male infertility. For now, I have found an article about sperm extraction which I thought could be an alternative for treatments. However I can't view the full article without paying, but the abstract from Pubmed seems to sum it up. So, I came across a research article addressing the epidemiology and aetiology of male infertility, through Pubmed it doesn't have a direct link to the full PDF article however I linked it you guys on Facebook so have a read!

PMID 22128297

PMID 9663768

Hello everyone! To get started, I just added a few headings on the page where you can add your research/review articles. Feel free to add more subheadings or change the wording of the titles - I'm sure we will need to as we research more. From looking at other groups' pages, I think it is also important we add a bit of 'Background Information" regarding the process of spermatogenesis and how any abnormalities can cause infertility so we can all look for articles as we go. Remember we are targeting this towards students like us, so a bit of key background info is essential.

I just posted the articles that I found on male infertility. It was kind of hard to find ones because I stuck to studies in humans- but i found some good ones that were studies on rats (not sure if we can use them) and also some good secondary or review articles that we could use as background information maybe? So I'll just post the PMID's here..

  • PMID 26303086
  • PMID 23725463
  • PMID 25160621
  • PMID 25142466

--Z3462124 (talk) 09:59, 27 August 2015 (AEST)


Not sure if we are review articles are any good, but I thought that it's also important to talk about "detecting abnormalities". I came across this review article which talks about the "male genital tract - colour dopple ultrasound" is a useful tool to detect impaired reproductive health.

PMID 25038770

--Z3463514 (talk) 19:59, 27 August 2015 (AEST)


Good thinking! If anyone comes across more articles regarding this, please post them up! I'll add a 'diagnosis' sub-heading to the page

--Z3462297 (talk) 22:23, 27 August 2015 (AEST)


Hey guys, found a couple of articles describing different methods of ARTs for male infertility:

These 2 talk about Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) PMID 26294874 PMID 26288981

Also, another potential sub-heading to research might be the risks involved different ARTs E.g. the following article about the prevalence of birth defects after a number of different male-related ARTs PMID 26265143

--Z3462833 (talk) 23:38, 27 August 2015 (AEST)


That sounds good. I think mentioning risks are important to show what is successful and what isnt. Feel free to add it under the "ART" heading (as a sub-heading)

--Z3462297 (talk) 23:06, 31 August 2015 (AEST)


Hey I found this article that discusses some ARTs for infertile men. Its not a bad read and has info on two different methods, Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) and conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection (cICSI). You can read the full text on biomod

PMID 26307050

--Z3462297 (talk) 17:27, 1 September 2015 (AEST)


LOOK! This is a really good review article that talks about causes, diagnosis AND treatments. I recommend everyone to read it!

PMID 21243017
