New Discriminatory Level for Glucosidase Activity to Diagnose Epididymal Obstruction or Dysfunction
Abstract
Neutral alpha-glucosidase activity was measured in seminal plasma of 30 patients consulting for infertility with a variety of disorders, and compared with 25 normal controls. Significantly more of the study populations (asthenozoospermia, 4/6; oligozoospermia, 3/5; azoospermia 8/15) had a neutral alpha-glucosidase activity less than 10 mIU/mL as compared with control samples (3/25). Also the mean (+/- SD) neutral alpha-glucosidase activity in patients with asthenozoospermia (11.7 +/- 9.2) oligozoospermia (11.3 +/- 7.2), and post vasectomy azoospermia (5.3 +/- 3.4) was significantly (p < .05) less than ejaculate from controls (21.2 +/- 14). A seminal alpha-glucosidase level of 10 mIU/mL appears to be a useful discriminatory marker in the diagnosis of epididymal obstruction or dysfunction.

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.
