Association between Sperm Morphology and Altered Sperm microRNA Expression. [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2022 Simple Summary Sperm morphology is usually determined subjectively, and studies focused exclusively on sperm morphology are scarce. There is a global tendency to find objective markers of spermatozoa quality, including sperm morphology, as this will ...

Relationship between sperm morphology and sperm DNA dispersion
Translational Andrology and Urology, 2020 Background The pathogenesis of teratozoospermia (30%) and a higher odds ratio (OR) for having high SDF levels were found in the group of men with teratozoospermia vs. men without teratozoospermia.

Artificial intelligence model for the assessment of unstained live sperm morphology [PDF]
Reproduction and FertilityTraditional sperm morphology assessment requires staining and high magnification (100×), rendering sperm unsuitable for further use. We aimed to determine whether an in-house artificial intelligence (AI) model could reliably assess normal sperm ...

Another look at human sperm morphology. [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2016 Can a standardized assessment of abnormal human sperm morphology provide additional useful information by identifying men with more severe disturbances in different types of abnormalities?Definition-based categorization of sperm head, midpiece and tail defects has shown how differently these abnormalities are distributed in fertile men and other groups

Effect of age and scrotal circumference on sperm morphology in Brahman bulls using a modified fixation technique [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceSperm morphology (form and size of sperm) analysis is useful for evaluating bull fertility and diagnosing reproductive performance. An advanced age is associated with a higher frequency of morphological sperm anomalies; however, there is limited ...

Sperm morphology value in assisted reproduction: dismantling an enigma and key takeaways for the busy clinician [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Reproductive HealthThe ideal morphology of the sperm cell was initially described based on the characteristics of sperm able to migrate through the endocervical canal assuming these had the best fertilization potential.

Standardisation of Dog Sperm Morphology Classification. [PDF]
Reprod Domest AnimABSTRACTSperm morphology is an important component of dog fertility analysis. Visual examination is the gold standard technique for evaluation, but large variations within and across evaluators have been documented. Databases of sperm morphology images are valuable practical aids for training and performance testing and can improve sperm classification
