Chlorophyll-a fluorescence adalah perpendaran cahaya yang dilepaskan oleh klorofil untuk membuang kelebihan energi foton diterima dari sinar matahari pada proses fotosintesa. Salah satu parameter turunan chlorophyll-a Performance Index (PI). PI menggambarkan informasi kualitatif mengenai kebugaran tanaman. Pengamatan saat kondisi normal, tercekam kekeringan moderat, dan parah memungkinkan pengh...

Background: Male infertility associated with sperm DNA alteration has raised a new issue in assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs).Methods: It was retrospective analytical study on 250 cases of routine IVF/ICSI performed at Swagat ART Centre from January 2017 to 2020. We divided the patient according fragmentation index (DFI) as normal DFI≤15%, n=95, moderate DFI≤30%, n=89, and high DFI group ...

BACKGROUND This case-control study was designed with the aim of evaluating the role of sperm, oxidative stress and DNA damage in idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (iRPL). This pilot study is the first study done on the Indian population which reports the association between DFI, TAC and ROS in couples experiencing iRSA. METHODS Twenty infertile men with a history of iRPL and 20 fertile cont...

The aim of this numerical study is to investigate the soot formation processes in a ducted fuel injection (DFI) spray under engine-like conditions. Furthermore, effect pre-injection dwell period on spray, combustion, and characteristics are also investigated. DFI configuration considered here D3L14G2. Large eddy simulations coupled with two-equation model conjugated heat transfer performed. Ine...

PURPOSE Skeletal muscle metastases (SMM) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are rarely encountered in clinical practice. The prognosis and the adequate treatment are not known. The aim of the study was to report our experience and to make an extensive literature research concerning SMM. PATIENTS AND METHODS In our unit, we identified 16 patients with SMM in a 10-year period. The source o...

Traditional routine semen analysis and biochemical assays are insufficient for the determination of fertility status in individual men. In recent years, clinical evidence has shown that damaged human sperm DNA may adversely affect assisted reproductive outcomes and that the spermatozoa of infertile men possess substantially more DNA damage than the spermatozoa of fertile men. In this study, we ...

Infertility affects 15% of all couples. Although male infertility factors with reduced semen quality are contributing to about half of all involuntary childlessness, the value of standard semen parameters in prediction of fertility in vivo and choice of proper method for assisted reproduction is limited. In the search for better markers of male fertility, during the last 10 years, assessment of...

BACKGROUND The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) provides an objective assessment of sperm chromatin integrity, which is essential for normal sperm function. SCSA is valuable as a fertility marker in epidemiological studies and in the clinical situation. Little is known about the impact of testicular and post-testicular function on SCSA parameters. METHODS Ejaculates from 278 military co...

BACKGROUND Due to satisfactory cytoreductive surgery combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer has improved greatly, however, the relapse rate also high. In current study, we analyzed prognostic factors related to secondary cytoreductive surgery in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Clinical and follow-up data from 103 patients with recurre...

and BuChE inhibition. Significant increments were observed in sperm DFI with significant decreases in some semen parameters. DFI was negatively correlated with BuChE, sperm concentration, morphology and vitality in these workers. The levels of Tt, PRL, FT4 and TSH appeared to be normal; however, there was a tendency for increased LH and FSH levels in exposed workers. Conclusions: Our results co...
