The ability of sperm to swell in hypo‐osmotic conditions was examined in 211 semen
samples from the partners of patients about to undergo oocyte retrieval for in‐vitro …

Human ejaculates (n= 83) were analyzed for standard sperm parameters (concentration,
motility, and morphology), as well as for the ability of the spermatozoa to react (swell) in a …

The hypoosmotic swelling test is a simple laboratory test to measure the functional integrity
of the human sperm membrane. Its in-vivo and in-vitro applicability needs to be evaluated …

Multivariate discriminant analysis was used to evaluate the usefulness of routine semen
parameters and the hypo‐osmotic swelling test (HOST) as predictors of the in‐vitro fertilizing …

The hypo‐osmotic swelling (HOS) test has been proposed as a useful assay for evaluation
of the functional competence of the human sperm membranes. To assess this further, the …

The hypoosmotic swelling test (HOS) is a simple test to measure the functional competence
of human sperm membranes. The question is, does a relationship exist between this …

This study evaluates the clinical usefulness of one additional parameter for assessment of
human sperm cell function in vitro—the hypoosmotic swelling test. The hypoosmotic swelling …

The functional integrity of sperm membranes of 270 semen samples collected from fertile
men and the male partners in couples with infertile marriages was assessed by the …

Objective To improve the accuracy of human sperm hypoosmotic swelling test by introducing
new morphological evaluation parameters for this test. Design Individual semen samples …

The hypoosmotic swelling test is a simple test for measuring the functional competence of
the human sperm membrane. Fifty-four patients with idiopathic infertility were assessed by …
