Our study objective was to assess the effect of various sperm DNA fragmentation levels on clinical intracytoplasmic injection outcome. This retrospective included 392 patients who underwent ICSI and performed testing before procedure. Based cut-off values, were differentiated into 3 groups as <20%, 20%–30% >30%. According female status, favourable group (n = 259) with age <35 years anti-Mulleri...

Globozoospermia syndrome is a rare teratozoospermia with an incidence below 0.1%. Presence of 100% round sperm heads, absence of acrosome, and messy sperm body and tail are the main characteristics of this syndrome. The activation ability of oocytes and consequently the fertilization rate decrease due to the absence of acrosome. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is not clear [1-2]. Globozoosper...

Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 517 couples who underwent ICSI. They included 96 couples with azoospermia and 4...
