Semen Collection and Processing Methods
R.S. Jeyendran – Published by Cambridge University Press, 2003; Price $104.00
ISBN: 978-0-5215-2417-9 (sc)
This practical guide to sperm collection and processing methods demonstrates how successful these procedures are to overcome even severe infertility. This compilation, prepared by an interdisciplinary team of experts, provide clinical and laboratory professionals in reproductive medicine with a comprehensive overview and a useful source of reference.
Difficulties with sperm procurement can involve biological deficiencies with sperm creation, delivery or both. The various procedures described in this text are all designed for one purpose: acquisition of as many viable sperm as possible, given initial patient conditions. Once sperm are collected, a myriad of processing methods are then available to optimize their fertilization potential. Recent advances have made fertility conditions once deemed hopeless a thing of the past. Most sterility cases are now either treatable or entirely circumvented through various clinical and laboratory techniques described in this volume, including surgical correction, hormone treatment, and various sperm enhancement technologies.
Protocols for Semen Analysis in Clinical Diagnosis
R.S. Jeyendran – Published by Parthenon Press, 2003; Price: $109.95
ISBN: 978-1-8421-4205-9 (hc)
Unique in this field, this book defines basic concepts of semen analysis, provides clinically essential reference values, and elucidates the often subtle relationships between many sperm characteristics and their relevance for clinical diagnosis. Dr. Jeyendran takes readers logically and systematically through each step of the diagnostic process. He discusses the underlying rationale for implementing different kinds of semen analysis, the intricacies of routine versus specialized testing, and additional diagnostic testing. The book provides readers with easy to use procedural protocols and a comprehensive reference.
Interpretation of Semen Analysis Results: A Practical Guide
R.S. Jeyendran – Published by Cambridge University Press, 2000; Price: $86.00
ISBN: 978-0-5217-9957-7 (sc)
This practical and concise guide provides a step-by-step approach to every aspect of the interpretation of semen analysis results. While other books focus on basic semen analysis protocol and techniques, few books then go on to actually interpret these results and provide useful guidance on the significance of different results for infertility assessment. This guide takes a systematic, hands-on approach to identification of the ranges of abnormality that contribute to male subfertility.
It also defines basic concepts, provides clinically essential reference values, and elucidates the often subtle relationships among many sperm characteristics. Once conclusions are reached, the guide offers recommendations for appropriate referral and additional options. Inclusion of vignettes from a wide range of real-life case reports based on the author’s own experiences help to illustrate key points.
This practical guide is an invaluable resource for all clinicians, scientists, and laboratory professionals working with infertile patients.
