چکیده

It is estimated that the male factor contributes to half of the infertility in couples attending for assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Therefore the semen analysis remains the starting point to evaluate main causes of infertility and in case of oligospermic semen the assessment of sperm morphology may help to choose the best spermatozoon to use for the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Observation of sperm-head vacuoles and sperm morphology under light microscope

OBJECTIVE The presence of sperm-head vacuoles has been suspected to be deleterious to the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). It is difficult to accurately distinguish morphologically abnormal sperm with vacuoles under a light microscope. This study was performed to analyze the result of the observation of sperm-head vacuoles using Papanicolaou staining under a light microscope ...

Effects of Sperm DNA Fragmentation on Semen Parameters and ICSI Outcome Determined by an Improved SCD Test, Halosperm

Background Sperm DNA fragmentation is known as an important cause of male infertility. The influence of sperm DNA damage on reproductive potential has been subject of many studies indicating various results and remaining the subject controversial. In this study, we investigated differences of the semen parameters and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome according to sperm DNA fragmen...

Clinical and Structural Features of Sperm Head Vacuoles in Men Included in the In Vitro Fertilization Programme

The human sperm head vacuoles and their role in male infertility are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical and ultrastructural features of human sperm head vacuoles in men included in the in vitro fertilization programme: men with normal (normozoospermia) and impaired sperm morphology (teratozoospermia). The sperm samples were observed under 6000-time magni...

Does the presence of nuclear vacuoles in human sperm selected for ICSI affect pregnancy outcome?

BACKGROUND To verify whether or not microinjection of sperm with a normal nuclear shape but large vacuoles affects IVF-ICSI pregnancy outcome. METHODS A comparative study testing IVF outcome parameters of IVF-ICSI, based on morphological selection of spermatozoa with normal nuclei against those based on microinjection of sperm with a normal nuclear shape but large vacuoles. An experimental gr...

P-23: Evaluation of Relation between Sperm DNA Fragmentation with IUI Outcomes

Background: Sperm chromatin integrity assessment has been suggested as fertility predictor. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the results of sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) and the outcome of intrauterine insemination IUI. Materials and Methods: A total of 576 consecutive couples undergoing IUI were included and IUI was performed. SCSA results were expressed a...
