这本实用、图文并茂的手册涵盖了在男科和艺术实验室进行的分析和评估男性因素不育的程序,以及为辅助受孕治疗准备精子的程序。内容以简短、权威的方式概述了每个领域的相关生物学背景,并对相关分析方法进行了详细、逐步的描述。每个技术部分都包括质量控制考虑因素和结果的最佳呈现。除了全面的“基本”精液分析,结合对精子形态的仔细分析,该手册还提供了使用计算机辅助精子分析和精子功能评估的既定技术。在临床背景下对实验室结果的解释贯穿始终,并强调了安全实验室实践。经过全面修订,纳入了关于基本人类精液分析的新ISO TS 23162,对于所有进行男性因素不育诊断测试的科学家和技术人员来说,这是一个宝贵的资源。
A Practical Guide to Basic Laboratory Andrology, 2nd Edition
This practical, extensively illustrated handbook covers the procedures that are undertaken in andrology and ART laboratories to analyse and assess male-factor infertility, and to prepare spermatozoa for use in assisted conception therapy. The content is presented as brief, authoritative overviews of the relevant biological background for each area, plus detailed, step-by-step descriptions of the relevant analytical procedures. Each technical section includes quality control considerations and the optimum presentation of results. In addition to the comprehensive ‘basic’ semen analysis, incorporating careful analysis of sperm morphology, the handbook provides established techniques for the use of computer-aided sperm analysis and sperm functional assessment. The interpretation of laboratory results in the clinical context is highlighted throughout, and safe laboratory practice is emphasized. Fully revised, incorporating the new ISO TS 23162 on basic human semen analysis throughout, this is an invaluable resource to all scientists and technicians who perform diagnostic testing for male-factor infertility.
