TL;DR: A broad overview of the wide array of metrics currently in use in academia and research is provided, including traditional metrics and article-level metrics, some of which are applied to researchers for a greater understanding of a particular concept.

TL;DR: An exhaustive literature review has demonstrated negative effects on sperm quality and testicular functions with increasing paternal age, and the need to educate infertile couples on the disturbing links between increased paternal age and rising disorders in their offspring.

TL;DR: This study tested biomarkers that could be potential candidates to predict oocyte competence and to select higher-quality embryos for transfer, including hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2), inhibin βA (INHBA), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), gremlin 1 (GREM1), betacellulin (BTC), CD44, tumor necrosis factor-induced protein 6 (TNFAIP6), and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synth

TL;DR: Patients presenting with low-level leukocytospermia have seminal oxidative stress and may benefit by treatment with antibiotics, testing for bacterial cultures, or antioxidant supplements to reduce ROS-induced sperm DNA fragmentation and improve their chances of fertility.

TL;DR: Infertile men, irrespective of their clinical diagnoses, have reduced semen parameters and elevated ROS levels compared to proven fertile men who have established a pregnancy recently or in the past.
