Publication bias threatens the validity of meta-analytic results and leads to overestimation of the effect size in traditional meta-analysis. This particularly applies to meta-analyses that feature small studies, which are ubiquitous in psychology. Here we develop a new method for

Penetration of zona-free hamster oocytes by human spermatozoa after preincubation with BWW medium (standard technique) or a buffer system containing egg yolk (TESTY) was compared by applying both treatments to aliquots of 60 ejaculates from 34 patients. The TESTY-treated spermatozoa
We examined the suitability of nine organic buffers for studying calcium binding to albumin by equilibrium dialysis. Results obtained with defatted human serum albumin showed that 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) and 2-([tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl] amino)ethanesulfonic acid were superior. Scatchard analysis of the experimental

Several cryoprotective media currently in use for human sperm cryopreservation have been directly compared with each other by use of a static vapor freezing technique. The TEST-citrate-yolk buffers with glycerol resulted in the highest motility and longevity after thawing; thus
Molecular reproduction and development, 58(1), 30-38 (2001-01-06)
The growth, differentiation, and death/survival of spermatogonia are precisely regulated for the proper production of spermatozoa. We have previously shown that Bcl-2 ectopically expressed in spermatogonia caused the inhibition of normal spermatogonial apoptosis and the subsequent failure of differentiation in
