Article Factors Affect Progressive Sperm Motility(Permanyer Publications, 2025) Sagir, S.; Tunçekin, A.Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of age, body mass index, and diet factors on sperm parameters and developing a novel index (Artuklu Sperm Quality Index [ASQI]). Method: The study incorporated a total of 115 patients who sought medical attention due to infertility and underwent semen analysis (spermiogram). The ASQI score was developed. Results: About 73% reported eating three meals daily, while 62% consume fruits a few times a week. When considering grain consumption, 30% rarely do, mirroring the 25% who never do. Carbonated drinks are consumed a few times in 15 days by 39% of respondents. Salt consumption showed 47% taking very little, whereas 42% consume caffeine very minimally. Sausage/ salami is minimally consumed by 44%, and 32% of participants reported never being exposed to air pollution. ASQI score ranges from 6 to 61 point. A lower score indicates good nutrition and quality of life, while a higher score suggests deteriorating nutrition and increasing unhealthy habits. Cronbach alfa value was noted as 0.72. A negative correlation was found between ASQI and sperm progressive motility (p < 0.001, r = −0.405). Conclusions: This study revealed a clear negative correlation between the ASQI score, which signifies deteriorating nutrition and escalating unhealthy habits, and sperm progressive motility. © 2024 Academia Mexicana de Cirugía.Article Is Testicular Fixation To the Scrotum Necessary in Patients With Undescended Testis? a Comparative Study(Verduci Editore s.r.l, 2023) Azizoğlu, M.; Sagir, S.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the outcome of undescended testicle patients with and without transparenchymal sutures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were divided into two distinct groups for evaluation: Group 1 (Testicular Fixation +): this group comprised 41 patients who underwent a procedure that involved testicular fixation. Group 2 (Testicular Fixation -): this group included 47 patients who had not undergone any testicular fixation. RESULTS: The age difference between these groups was not statistically meaningful (p>0.05). As for the presence of hypospadias, 2 patients (4.8%) in Group 1 and 3 patients (6.4%) in Group 2 were affected, showing no significant difference (p>0.05). Post-surgical local infection was evident in 9.8% of Group 1 and 8.5% of Group 2 patients, showcasing no significant difference (p>0.05). When assessing recurrence, both groups bore almost identical rates, 7.3% for Group 1 and 6.4% for Group 2 (p>0.05). Atrophy was observed in 2.4% of Group 1 and 2.1% of Group 2, with no marked distinction (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both groups exhibited similar outcomes, suggesting that no fixation method was also a good option. © 2023 Verduci Editore s.r.l. All rights reserved.
