For the diagnosis and evaluation of the therapy for male infertility and for predicting the
outcome of AIH and IVF-ET, technically simple, replicable tests that can be performed …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

The functional competence of the human sperm membrane is assessed by studying the
swelling reaction of sperm when suspended in a medium of distilled water (water test) …

The hypo‐osmotic swelling (HOS) test has been proposed as a useful assay in the
diagnosis of the infertile male. A good correlation between the HOS test and the sperm …

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 …
