Sperm DNA fragmentation in clinical practice [PDF]
We value the comments written by Dr. Benagiano on the “Clinical utility of sperm DNA fragmentation testing: practice recommendations based on clinical scenarios” (1). The author has pointed out the controversies surrounding the diagnostic potential of conventional semen parameters and tests of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) in cases of recurrent ...

Correlation of sperm DNA damage with blastocyst formation: systematic review and meta-analysis
Background The routine semen analysis fails to detect sperm DNA damage which contributes to the majority of male factor infertility. Sperm DNA fragmentation test (DFI) measures the sperm DNA damage. Blastocyst formation is an important step in IVF ± ICSI.

Cryoprotectant-free vitrification of human spermatozoa in new artificial seminal fluid [PDF]
Vitrification is a new method that has been recently introduced in Assisted Reproduction Technique programs. The aim of this study was to design a new medium similar to normal human seminal fluid (SF), formulation artificial seminal fluid (ASF), and to ...

Sperm DNA fragmentation: indication and uses [PDF]
If you really think about it, the microscopic portion of conventional sperm analysis relies on the same principles of light microscopy that have been present since Antony van Leeuwenhoek first saw sperm cells in the 17th century. Cell counts, motility, and cellular beauty (based on our idea of an ideal sperm) guide us on a daily basis.

Sperm DNA fragmentation testing—clinical utility [PDF]
The expert panel made a tremendous effort to propose guidelines on the emerging trends of sperm DNA fragmentation testing and its clinical utility based on the available latest scientific evidence (1). Panel presented it in a systematic manner by a practical approach with four common clinical case scenarios.

Sperm DNA fragmentation testing: proceed with care [PDF]
The authors should be commended for their thorough review of DNA fragmentation and the clinical indications for testing. The basic science review of DNA fragmentation, oxidative stress, and its association with male infertility is detailed yet concise. The authors also present clinical scenarios to better illustrate the current role of evaluating sperm
