- This review focuses on two methods for assessing microvascular function using the Flow-Mediated Skin Fluorescence (FMSF) technique, highlighting the significance of microcirculatory oscillations.
- The first method analyzes parameters like flowmotion, vasomotion, and the normoxia oscillatory index to identify issues related to exercise, post-COVID syndrome, psychological stress, and erectile dysfunction.
- The second method evaluates hypoxia sensitivity to understand microvascular complications in diabetes, such as kidney disease and foot ulcers, suggesting the potential for broad medical applications of the FMSF technique.
Mature, vital, and motile spermatozoa are essential for reaching the oocyte and binding to hyaluronic acid (HA) in the cumulus oophorus matrix. This study aims to determine the relationship between sperm-migration ability and HA-binding potential, as well as the relationship between sperm concentration and motility. Semen samples were collected from 702 men aged 20-56 years (median 34.

The aim of this study was to evaluate vascular dysfunction with the use of the Flow-Mediated Skin Fluorescence (FMSF) technique in men with and without ED. Included were 39 men (median age 53) with ED and 40 men (median age 41.
