Standards for investigation of human semen Untersuchungsstandards für das menschliche Sperma La standardisation de l'analyse du sperme humain
Abstract
Summary A proposal for standardization of the analyses of human semen is presented with special emphasis on the necessity to perform accurate evaluation of sperm morphology, to determine the percentage of dead cells, and to carry out biochemical analyses of the seminal plasma to evaluate the secretory function of the accessory genital glands. Criteria for evaluation of sperm morphology as well as accuracy, precision and applicability of the various methods are presented. The proposed standards for evaluation of human semen constitute the basis for an already established collaboration between European andrologists aiming at a higher precision in semen analyses. Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Standardisierung der Spermaanalytik vorgeschlagen. Speziell wird eine genaue Ausarbeitung der Spermatozoenmorphologie gefordert, mit Angaben der Zahl toter Zellen. Dazu biochemische Analytik des Seminalplasmas um die sekretorische Funktion der akzessorischen Geschlechtsdrüsen zu erfassen. Es werden genaue Methoden der Spermatozoenmorphologie beschrieben. Die angegebenen Standardisierungsvorschläge haben eine Zusammenarbeit vieler Europäischen Andrologen ermöglicht. Résumé Une proposition de la standardisation de l'analyse du sperme humain est présentée en soulignant la necessité de realizer une détermination exacte de la morphologie des spermatozoïdes, de mesurer le pourcentage de cellules mortes et de mener une analyse biochimique du plasma séminal pour évaluer l'activité secrétoire des glandes génitales annexes. Les critèes d'évaluation de la morphologie des spermatozoïdes aussi bien que la justesse, la précision et l'utilisation optimale de différentes methodes sent présentés. Les standards proposés de l'évaluation du sperme humain constituent la base d'une collaboration dejá établie entre andrologues européens visant à une précision accure des analyses du sperme humain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
