There are some debates over the necessity of SDF and HOST incorporation in male infertility work-up.Semen of 77 men was evaluated by SDF and HOST through three semen analyses.

Perfect graphs constitute a well-studied graph class with a rich structure, reflected by many characterizations with respect to different concepts. Perfect graphs are, for instance, precisely those graphs G where the stable set polytope STAB(G) coincides with the fractional stable set polytope QSTAB(G). For all imperfect graphs G it holds that STAB(G) ⊂ QSTAB(G). It is, therefore, natural to us...

background: isolating sperms with normal chromatin content is considered vital in intra cytoplasmic sperm injection treatment. today, researchers are trying to find new procedures to select sperms with normal chromatin content and morphology. this study examines the effectiveness of zeta, density gradient centrifugation (pure sperm) and combination of pure- zeta procedures in selecting sperms w...

the swim-up procedure was used to collect a sperm fraction with improved motility and normal morphology from fertile and infertile semen samples. the untreated and swim-up fractions were analyzed with the hamilton-thorn motility analyser. comparisons were made to see the effect of this sperm selection technique on sperm motility and morphology. they were then examined by transmission electron m...
