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 …

We examined spermatozoa from 135 male patients consulting for infertility to evaluate the
usefulness of the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test of sperm fertility for the swim-up washing …

Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate the sperm velocity characteristics, the sperm
morphology assessment determined by strict criteria and the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) …

Standard methods of semen analysis provide basic information on spermatogenesis, sperm
cell longevity and fertility of analysed individuals. The results of various studies, however …

The ability of the hypoosmotic sperm swelling (HOS) test to identify nonfertilizing sperm
samples in a group of 50 couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) was investigated. The …

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 …

The standard sperm parameters, and a newly developed assay, the hypoosmotic swelling
(HOS) test, of 208 ejaculates were correlated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome to …

The mean semen parameters and their interrelationships are reported for the first semen
analyses performed on a population of 1801 suspected infertile men. For this population, the …

The aim of the study was to determine the semen parameters of a proven fertile population
and to compare these parameters with that of a subfertile group in the same region. Sixty …

The male partners of 68 couples exhibiting 5.1±0.3 (SEM) years of unexplained infertility
were assessed using the conventional criteria of semen quality, the movement …
