Fereshteh Safian: Pleased to Participate in the 24th International Congress of the Iranian Society for Reproductive Medicine
Fereshteh Safian, Clinical Embryologist at Pooyesh Fertility Center, shared on LinkedIn:
“I was pleased to participate as a speaker in the scientific panel at the 24th International Congress of the Iranian Society for Reproductive Medicine, presenting on ‘The Hypo-Osmotic Swelling Test (HOST) for Sperm Selection in ICSI.’
My presentation highlighted the importance of differentiating HOST response patterns and their reported associations with sperm nuclear integrity and DNA quality, moving beyond the conventional use of HOST as a simple sperm viability test.
Considering HOST as a functional assessment tool may provide additional information to complement conventional sperm selection methods in ICSI, although its clinical benefit remains to be established.
This presentation also reflected my recent research work, particularly my recently accepted systematic review on the clinical utility of HOST in ICSI.”
