Live Morphology Imaging is a Better Approach for Observing Sperm Head Osmolality-induced Morphological Changes Compared with Diff-Quik Staining Method
Objetctive To compare the live morphology imaging technology of LensHooke® X1 PRO Semen Quality Analyzer with Diff-Quik staining in sperm head morphometric analysis. Introduction The dimensions of spermatozoa, especially head parameters, play a pivotal role for the sperm morphology assessment according to WHO 5th manual for human sperm morphology assessment.Diff-Quik is one of the staining […]
The effect of oxidative and reductive stress on semen parameters and functions of physiologically normal human spermatozoa
Abstract Both oxidative stress (OS) and reductive stress (RS) are the two extreme facets of redox imbalance that can have deleterious effects on sperm function. However, there is a lack of information on the physiological range of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of OS and RS on […]
ASRM-Validation of LensHooke® X1 PRO and Computer-Assisted Semen Analyzer Compared with Laboratory-Based Manual Semen Analysis
Introduction Infertility is prevalent in approximately 190 million people and male factor is one of the important reason (50% of the total cases) couple infertility. Semen analysis is considered as the cornerstone for laboratory evaluation of male infertility. Manual semen analysis can assess the macroscopic (pH, volume and appearance) and microscopic (sperm concentration, % total […]
Automation of human semen analysis using a novel artificial intelligence optical microscopic technology
Abstract Current semen analysis still commonly depends on a manual microscopy method in clinical laboratories worldwide. However, some of the major disadvantages of this technique are that it is labour‐intensive, subjective, laboratory‐based and time‐consuming. Although computer‐assisted semen analysers (CASAs) have enabled partialautomation of routine semen analysis, they lack wider acceptance due to their complicated operation. […]
ESHRE-Evaluation of a Fully Automated Semen Quality Analyzer (LensHooke X1) for Home-based Monitoring
Introduction Home-based semen quality analyzer (HBSQA) provides private, convenient and rapid evaluation of semen samples. However, there is no information in literature on post-surgical (varicocele repair or removal of ejaculatory duct obstruction) semen quality monitoring (SQM) using HBSQA. Most HBSQA measures only one or a few parameters at a time and thus cannot replace standard […]
