The parameter of sperm viability in hypoosmotic solution (VHOS) provides information
concerning the membrane Integrity of the sperm head. The objective of this study was to …

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 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 …

The separation of spermatozoa from the seminal plasma is required to prepare the
spermatozoa for intrauterine insemination, in-vitro fertilization and sex selection. This study …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To develop a rapid, sensitive, and reproducible hypoosmotic swelling test kit
for the assessment of plasma membrane integrity of human sperm in vitro. DESIGN …

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the hypoosmotic swelling
(HOS) test together with the supravital test as a means of evaluating the functional integrity …

The simple hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOS) has been proposed as a replacement for the
labor-intensive sperm penetration assay (SPA), but its reliability is still controversial. To …

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 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 …
