It is with a bittersweet feeling that many members travel to Baltimore for this meeting. We are reminded of the important role played in our society by Tom Chang, who is missed very much. Terry Brown capably assumed Tom's role as local arrangements chairperson despite Terry's duty as our society's treasurer. Terry's ability to spend time working on local arrangements was made easier by the willingness of Gail Prins to continue her duties as treasurer beyond the end of her term. Dorrie Lamb and Bob Oates are to be congratulated for arranging exciting programs for this Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course, respectively. Our society continues to prosper. Lonnie Russell is in the process of defining the role of the Publications Committee in various endeavors undertaken by our society. Significant improve­ ments in the Joumal of Andrology have been made by Ron Lewis and Don Tindall, and we anticipate further growth of the Joumal under the new editorial direction soon to be provided by David Hamilton and Jon Pryor. Androlog continues to provide a busy forum concerning a variety of reproductive topics, and we are grateful to both Craig Niederberger and Andy Meacham for their continuing efforts with Androlog. Holland-Parlette Associates officially became our society's business office on August I, I 996. The dependable and efficient manner in which Carol Parlette and various members of Holland-Parlette Associates have conducted our business affairs justifies the recom­ mendation of their firm by the Finance Committee, which is chaired by Rebecca Sokol. Each participant in this year's meeting is encouraged to attend the banquet, which will be held in the National Aquarium. The format for the evening will allow ample time both for touring this interesting facility and for interacting with colleagues, while leisurely having supper at various stations along the way. We appreciate the valued support of our organization by the various industrial contributors and exhibitors. I am particularly indebted to the Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services in Louisville, Kentucky both for administrative help with my presidential duties and for generous support of this year's annual meeting. Finally, I want to thank the membership for the opportunity I have had to serve as president of our society. I feel particularly honored to be the first urologist to serve in this capacity. I have enjoyed working with the officers, Council members and committee chairs. Our society is successful because of the unusual dedication of so many members. Arnold M.

Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the winners of the 2015‐16 election: David Eadie (BoD & Membership); Bob Goodrich (BoD); Bill Moss (BoD) and Dan Danielson (Eastern Rep). I extend the entire BoD thanks and welcoming to them for the 2015‐16 Term. At our meeting we took a few minutes to say “thank you” to a couple who have done so much for the train hobby, the TCA and the WB&A, namely, Mary and Pete Jackson. Your BoD presented them with a plaque in honor of their work on the BoD over the years and for their years of work running Kids Korner at York and for the countless other ways they have assisted. Mary and Pete moved to Delaware about 2 years ago and have continued to be active in all that they had committed themselves to, but it’s time for them to take time to play trains and let others step up to take on the roles they had. So to Mary and Pete we say thank you for your years of service. As a reminder, the eblasts and attachments will be placed on the WB&A website under the “About” tab for your viewing/sharing pleasure http://www.wbachapter.org/2014%20E‐ Blast%20Page.htm The attachments are contained in the one PDF attached to this email in an effort to streamline the sending of this email and to ensure the attachments are able to be received.

Abstract Extra-renal manifestations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have been known to involve male reproductive organs, including cysts in testis, epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate. The reported prevalence of seminal vesicle cysts in patients with ADPKD varies widely, from 6% by computed tomography (CT) to 21%–60% by transrectal ultrasonography. However, seminal vesicles in ADPKD that are dilated, with a diameter greater than 10 mm by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are In: Polycystic Kidney Disease.

  • Reduced Prostaglandin Levels in the Semen of Men with Very High Sperm Concentrations R
    Reduced prostaglandin levels in the semen of men with very high sperm concentrations R. W. Kelly, I. Cooper and A. A. Templeton Medical Research Council, Unit ofReproductive Biology, 2 Forrest Road, Edinburgh EHI 2QW, and *Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Edinburgh, 23 Chalmers Street, Edinburgh EH3 9ER, U.K. Summary. The prostaglandin levels have been measured in a group of men with sperm concentrations greater than 300 \m=x\106/ml and compared with the levels in men with sperm concentrations of 50 to 150 \m=x\106/ml. The distribution of the PG levels in all groups was highly skewed but the data could be transformed to a normal distribution by taking logarithms. Comparison of the PG levels showed a highly significant lowering of the PG levels in the polyzoospermic group when compared with either of the groups with normal sperm concentrations. Introduction Although prostaglandins (PGs) were first discovered in human seminal plasma (Goldblatt, 1933; von Euler, 1934, 1935) and although a relationship between PG levels in semen and fertility were apparently established in early investigations of seminal PG content (Bygdeman, Fredricsson, Svanborg & Samuelsson, 1970), the function of these compounds in semen is still not clear. The first PGs to be found in human semen were those of the E and F series (Samuelsson, 1963) which were followed by reports of the A, B, 19-hydroxy A and 19-hydroxy series (Hamberg & Samuelsson, 1966).The finding that the 19-hydroxy PGEs are the major PGs of human semen (Taylor & Kelly, 1974; Jonsson, Middleditch & Desiderio, 1975) has led to the suggestion that the A, B, 19-hydroxy A and 19-hydroxy PGs in semen and elsewhere are artefacts (Middleditch, 1975).

In an attempt to generate reliable male infertility data using scientific methods, our study assessed the seminal profile of men. Aim: The study aimed at determining the pattern of semen profile and its relationship with semen concentration in male partners of infertile couples. Materials and Methods: the cross-sectional study involved 600 male partners of infertile couples from June 2015 To December 2017. Frequency percentages of socio-demographics, sexual history/co-morbidities, and semen parameters were determined. The association of semen concentration with other semen parameters, socio-demographics, and sexual history/co-morbidities was also determined. Results: asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia were the commonest seminal abnormalities observed, followed by oligozoospermia and azoospermia. Primary infertility (67%) was higher than secondary infertility (33%). Leukospermia was observed in 58.5% of male partners. No significant (p>0.05) association was observed between socio-demographics, co-morbidities, and semen concentration. History of sexually transmitted infections (p<0.05) and other semen parameters (p<0.005) were significantly associated with semen concentration.

  • Male Fertility Following Spinal Cord Injury: a Guide for Patients Second Edition
    Male Fertility Following Spinal Cord Injury: A Guide For Patients Second Edition By Nancy L. Brackett, Ph.D., HCLD Emad Ibrahim, M.D. Charles M. Lynne, M.D. 1 2 This is the second edition of our booklet. The first was published in 2000 to respond to a need in the spinal cord injured (SCI) community for a source of information about male infertility. At that time, we were getting phone calls almost daily on the subject. Today, we continue to get numerous requests for information, although these requests now arrive more by internet than phone. These requests, combined with numerous hits on our website, attest to the continuing need for dissemination of this information to the SCI community as well as to the medical community. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” This quote certainly holds true for the second edition of our booklet. In the current age of advanced reproductive technologies, numerous avenues for help are available to couples with male partners with SCI. Although the help is available, we have learned from our patients as well as our professional colleagues that not all reproductive medicine specialists are trained in managing infertility in couples with SCI male partners. In some cases, treatments are offered that may be unnecessary. It is our hope that the information contained in this updated edition of our booklet can be used as a talking point for patients and their medical professionals. The Male Fertility Research Program of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis is known around the world for research and clinical efforts in the field of male infertility in the SCI population.

  • Laboratory Assessment of Male Infertility—A Guide for the Urologist
    Infertility Laboratory Assessment of Male Infertility—A Guide for the Urologist Ashok Agarwal, PhD, Frances Monette Bragais, MD and Edmund S Sabanegh, Jr, MD Center for Reproductive Medicine, Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute, Cleveland Clinic Abstract After receiving a thorough history-taking and physical exam, patients should have two to three properly collected semen analyses. Semen analysis is a demanding test requiring laboratory personnel who are well trained in all aspects of andrological examination. To ensure the highest level of accuracy in andrology testing, clinicians should refer their patients to diagnostic laboratories that are accredited by national organizations (such as the College of American Pathologists [CAP] in the US) and subscribe to external proficiency testing schemes in andrology as part of their quality management. Specialized andrology laboratory tests may be ordered as indicated to properly diagnose male factor infertility. These tests include fructose test in azoospermic samples, viability test for poor motility specimen, antisperm antibody test in cases of agglutination and poor motility, peroxidase test for white blood cells in cases of infection or inflammation, tests for seminal reactive oxygen species level, and total antioxidant capacity in seminal plasma; sperm DNA fragmentation assessment may be helpful in cases of idiopathic male factor.
