Abstract
The article presents an overview of the most significant publications on the topic of male infertility. The main selection criteria were the practical significance of the article, as well as the impact factor of the journal in which it was published, according to the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR). As a result, a list of 10 works published from October 2022 to March 2023 was formed. The review includes articles on the following topics: genetic causes of male infertility, the role of oxidative stress in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) programmes, reference values when performing scrotum and prostate ultrasound, the impact of ART procedures on child development, the impact of DNA fragmentation of spermatozoa on the outcomes of ART, the role of circadian rhythms in spermatogenesis, automated semen testing devices and predictors of success / failure of testicular biopsy.
