Background
Previous reports on effect of antioxidants on sperm DNA integrity were equivocal, and there is a lack of randomized, placebo‐controlled studies.
Objectives
To evaluate the efficacy of combined antioxidant treatment in subfertile men with normal reproductive hormone levels and high sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI).
Materials and methods
This placebo‐controlled, double‐blind, randomized...
Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) assessed by sperm chromatin structure assay is a valuable tool for prediction of fertility in vivo. Previous studies on DFI as predictor of in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome, based on relatively small materials, gave contradictory results. The present study examines, in a large cohort, the association between sperm DFI and the outcome of IVF/ICSI procedure. The...
The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) parameter DNA fragmentation Index (DFI) is a valuable tool for prediction of fertility in vivo. Clinical data show that a DFI above 30% is associated with very low chance for achieving pregnancy by natural conception or by insemination. Already when DFI is above 20% the chance of natural pregnancy is reduced, this despite normal conventional semen parameters...
Fifty-seven sonograms of 18 children with Hashimoto thyroiditis were retrospectively assessed. Thirty-three examinations (in 12 patients) showed thyroid glands which were more reflective than adjacent strap muscles, 22 studies (in eight patients) demonstrated glands of equal reflectivity and two examinations (in one child) depicted thyroid glands of lower reflectivity than muscle. The most frequent...
