Reappraisal of the hypo-osmotic swelling test to improve assessment of seminal fertility status

Evaluating the Functional Status of Spermatozoa in Smokers Using Hypo-osmotic Swelling Test

Importance of Seminal Hyaluronidase Activity and Hypo-Osmotic Swelling Test in Male Infertility

The conventional seminal parameters like sperm density, motility, morphology, etc. are not perfect indicators of seminal functional quality. Hence, Seminal Hyaluronidase Activity (SHA) and Hypo-osmotic Swelling (HOS score) of sperms that evaluate healthy sperms of fertilizing potential, were studied in male partners of infertile couples. The semen samples were obtained, by masturbation after 4 ...

The role of hypo-osmotic swelling test in recurrent abortions.

The role of male factors in abortions has not been studied extensively. We undertook this study to determine if there was any relationship between hypo-osmotic swelling test score and recurrent abortions. This was a cross-sectional case control study conducted at the semen analysis laboratory at a tertiary level referral centre. The male partners of 25 patients who had three or more first trime...

Establishment of an optimal hypo-osmotic swelling test by examining single spermatozoa in four different hypo-osmotic solutions.

In order to find an optimal hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) and to identify viable sperm cells from patients with asthenozoospermia for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), we tested single motile and non-motile spermatozoa in four hypo-osmotic solutions by micromanipulation. The four solutions were: A, H2O; B, 50 mOsm NaCl; C, 150 mOsm NaCl and D, 150 mOsm sodium citrate and fructose. Eo...
