TL;DR: Given the adverse consequences of obesity and the possible effect of male BMI on assisted reproduction technology (ART) outcomes, the benefits of weight reduction should be discussed when counselling couples interested in fertility treatment.

TL;DR: This study reinforces the importance of the duration of ejaculatory abstinence on semen parameter variation and highlights the deleterious effect of increased abstinence on DNA damage, which is most likely associated with ROS (mitochondrial damage/number of leukocytes).

TL;DR: Conventional semen parameters were significantly worse in individuals with the disease, and in men with varicocele, Spearman's correlation demonstrated that early apoptosis and abnormal MMP showed a positive and significant correlation with sperm DNA fragmentation.

TL;DR: The age-related increase in sperm DNA damage suggests that delaying childbearing, not only in women but also in men, might jeopardize a couple’s reproductive capacity and the increase seen in chromatin packaging might represent a protective feature for DNA.

TL;DR: The freeze- all strategy could be favorable when high numbers of oocytes are collected, signaling an association between higher ovarian stimulation and consequent impairment of endometrial receptivity, but when the mean number of oocyte collected is <15, the freeze-all strategy does not appear to be advantageous.
