Are physical activity and sedentary time associated with the DNA fragmentation index (DFI) score and conventional semen parameters in healthy Japanese men? The study found that igher total physical activity was associated with a lower DFI score (P-value for trend = 0.002), with the third and fourth total physical activity quartiles showing a 21% (95% CI 5–34%, P = 0.013)...Read More
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a condition affecting up to 5% of couples. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) to synthesize the evidence on the relationship between seminal oxidative stress (OS) and RPL. This study aimed to evaluate whether seminal OS markers differ between men from couples experiencing RPL and those from fertile...Read More
Sperm and pusher eukaryotic cells achieve locomotion through a complex interaction between their flagellar movement and the surrounding fluid. The flagellar waveform arises from a balance of dynein-driven cytoskeletal forces, passive structural resistance, and hydrodynamic drag. However, the underlying mechanisms of cell-fluid interactions remain poorly understood due to the limitations of current measurement techniques. Here,...Read More
According to these extensive Danish data, if your total motile sperm count is <5 × 106/ml you can expect to live for 77.6 years, whereas if you are lucky enough to possess a count of >120 × 106/ml, your life expectancy will increase to 80.3 years. This is encouraging for those so endowed, although they will still be dying 3 years before...Read More
Male infertility and semen quality have been suggested to be markers of morbidity and thus mortality, but the role of underlying disease present at time of semen quality evaluation has not been thoroughly assessed. The aim of this study was to determine the association between semen quality and mortality, and to assess the impact of...Read More
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning algorithms into medical care has been the focus of development over the last decade, particularly in the field of assisted reproductive technologies and in vitro fertilization (IVF). With embryo morphology the cornerstone of clinical decision making for IVF, the field of IVF is highly reliant on...Read More
In a recent Fertility and Sterility review, researchers summarize the available evidence on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in sperm selection. The success rates of ART have remained relatively low globally due to the lack of proper sperm selection. Despite technological advancements, the final sperm selection is primarily performed manually by an embryologist following...Read More
Varicocele repair is recommended in the presence of a clinical varicocele together with at least one abnormal semen parameter, and male infertility. Unfortunately, up to 50% of men who meet criteria for repair will not see meaningful benefit in outcomes despite successful treatment. We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict which men with...Read More
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship of semen parameters in samples used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with fertilization and pregnancy rates in infertile couples. Methods In this prospective study of Infertile couples with male factor infertility that had undergone ICSI, fractions of the same semen samples obtained for microinjection (to ensure the...Read More
In recent years, the amount of data produced in the field of ART has increased exponentially. The diversity of data is large, ranging from videos to tabular data. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressively used in medical practice and may become a promising tool to improve success rates with ART. AI models...Read More
The Sperm Tracer
Sperm Tracer is a unique AI technological software that supports fertility experts and embryologists to evaluate, in real-time, the best sperm for ICSI procedures.
Each embryo carries 50% of the genetic information of an oocyte and 50% of a sperm. Every single sperm participating with 50% of the DNA cargo of the embryo, could play a detrimental role for the embryo itself and its quality.
