VISEM-Tracking, a human spermatozoa tracking dataset [PDF]
Sci Data 10, 260 (2023), 2022 A manual assessment of sperm motility requires microscopy observation, which is challenging due to the fast-moving spermatozoa in the field of view. To obtain correct results, manual evaluation requires extensive training. Therefore, computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) has become increasingly used in clinics.

Animals, 2022 Semen analyses have gained momentum in various livestock industries. However, in farmed ostriches, semen analysis is still in its experimental stage, and males are not screened for sperm quality before breeding.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Sperm motility patterns are continuously changed after ejaculation to fertilization in the female tract. Hyperactivated motility is induced with high glucose medium in vitro or the oviduct fluids in vivo, whereas sperm maintain linear motility in the ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Many endocrine disruptors may interfere with sperm motility, hyperactivation, and capacitation, thereby leading to male infertility. In the current study, we screened 14 endocrine disruptors, including plant ingredients, cigarette ingredients, minerals ...

PLoS ONE, 2020 Sperm motility is a crucial factor for normal fertilisation that is partly supported by mitochondrial activity. Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) generate electric currents by an electron grade from anodic to cathodic electrodes in a culture media.

Automated Sperm Assessment Framework and Neural Network Specialized for Sperm Video Recognition [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Infertility is a global health problem, and an increasing number of couples are seeking medical assistance to achieve reproduction, at least half of which are caused by men. The success rate of assisted reproductive technologies depends on sperm assessment, in which experts determine whether sperm can be used for reproduction based on morphology and ...

Semen quality and sperm DNA fragmentation in cancer patients undergoing sperm cryopreservation [PDF]
Investigative and Clinical Urology, 2023 Purpose: We compared semen quality and sperm DNA fragmentation in cancer patients who underwent sperm banking and controls who underwent sperm cryopreservation for assisted reproductive technology (ART).

Enhanced motility in a binary mixture of active nano/microswimmers [PDF]
Nanoscale 2020, 2020 It is often desirable to enhance the motility of active nano- or microscale swimmers such as, e.g., self-propelled Janus particles as agents of chemical reactions or weak sperm cells for better chances of successful fertilization. Here we tackle this problem based on the idea that motility can be transferred from a more active guest species to a less ...

Semen collection and evaluation of captive coatis (Nasua nasua)
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2012 Semen samples (n=105) were collected through eletroejaculation from six adult male coatis (Nasua nasua) between January 2007 and December 2008 at Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso Zoo, Cuiabá, Brazil. Mean values were: volume (mL); concentration (sperm/
