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 objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of basic semen analysis parameters, assessed according to WHO-2021 criteria, as well as paternal BMI and paternal age on embryological and clinical ICSI outcomes among couples undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). Our main goal is to provide IVF professionals with information about the...Read More
A team of researchers at the George Mason University College of Public Health as well as Northeastern University in the US have published research indicating a strong link between exposure to common pesticides and lower sperm counts. “Understanding how insecticides affect sperm concentration in humans is critical given their ubiquity in the environment and documented...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.
