The relationship and degree of association between the percentage of sperm swelling (HOS-
test) and conventional semen variables was investigated in 263 consecutive ejaculates. The …

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 …

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 …

In this study, we arbitrarily classified the morphological changes of sperm under hypo-
osmotic condition and compared the results with four different sperm separation techniques …

Semen samples of 209 males of infertile couples were evaluated by the sperm hypoosmotic
swelling (HS) test, the in vitro human sperm zona-free hamster ovum penetration assay …

Ninety semen samples from male patients were studied. They were classified into 4 different
groups; normospermic fertile, oligospermia, asthenospermia, and oligoasthenospermia. In …

The correlation between the hypo‐osmotic swelling test, the modified Eliasson score for
human semen analysis and the hamster egg penetration assay was examined. The results …

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 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 …

Purpose To determine if any single abnormal semen parameter is associated with low
hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test scores. Methods A retrospective review evaluating males …
