OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation, consistency, and variations between two assays of DNA fragmentation index based on acridine orange (AO) staining via AI-based fluorescence microscopy(AI-DFI), and flow cytometry (FCM-DFI) across multiple centers.
BACKGROUND: Azoospermia is the most severe type of male infertility. This study aimed to identify useful clinical parameters to predict sperm retrieval success. This could assist clinicians in accurately diagnosing and treating patients based on the ...
BACKGROUND: Antioxidant present in sperm cells protects them from oxidative damage. However, sperm are more susceptible to peroxidative damages due to the loss of these enzymes during cryopreservation and their survival and fertility may be compromis...
RESEARCH QUESTION: Can artificial intelligence identify predictors of an increased Day 5 blastocyst utilization rate (D5BUR), which is one of the most informative key performance indicators in an IVF laboratory?
In this , we present an overview of the current and emerging methods and technologies for optimizing the man and the sperm sample for fertility treatment. We argue that sperms are the secret to success, and that there are many avenues for improving b...
Criminal investigations, particularly sexual assaults, frequently require the identification of body fluid type in addition to body fluid donor to provide context. In most cases this can be achieved by conventional methods, however, in certain scenar...
Many lifestyle factors, such as nutritional imbalance leading to obesity, metabolic disorders, and nutritional deficiency, have been identified as potential risk factors for male infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship bet...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for forensic body fluid identification owing to their small size, stability against degradation, and differential expression patterns. However, the expression of most body fluid-miRNAs is relative (differen...
Identification of body fluid stain at crime scene is one of the important tasks of forensic evidence analysis. Currently, body fluid-specific CpGs detected by DNA methylation microarray screening, have been widely studied for forensic body fluid iden...
