Thyroid response to dexamethasone: a study on normal controls and patients with psychogenic sexual dysfunction.

abstract：:Next to clinical investigations, the evaluation of male fertility relies mainly on detailed sperm analyses, for example, cell counting, motility, cell morphology and vitality testing. The manual creation of a spermiogram is time- and material-consuming. Therefore, reliable high-throughput systems that may be substitut...
