Overview

Rakesh Sharma is affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, with a research focus primarily in the field of Medicine. Their work spans multiple subfields, including Reproductive Medicine, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Molecular Biology, Surgery, and Epidemiology. The research concentrates notably on areas related to reproductive biology and fertility, sperm and testicular function, reproductive health and technologies, reproductive physiology in livestock, genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, acute ischemic stroke management, and pluripotent stem cells research.

The scientist has contributed to a range of academic publications across several respected journals. Frequent venues for Sharma's publications include the International Journal of Surgery Open, where they have published 32 papers; The World Journal of Men's Health with 9 publications; Andrologia hosting 5 papers; Animal Reproduction Science with 3 records; and Annals of Medicine and Surgery with 2 publications.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Sharma reflect their focus on reproductive health and sperm analysis techniques. Notable works include:

  • Sperm DNA fragmentation testing: Summary evidence and clinical practice recommendations, 2020, Andrologia
  • TUNEL assay-Standardized method for testing sperm DNA fragmentation, 2020, Andrologia
  • The efficacy of antioxidants in sperm parameters and production of reactive oxygen species levels during the freeze-thaw process: A systematic review and meta-analysis, 2020, Andrologia
  • Sperm Vitality and Necrozoospermia: Diagnosis, Management, and Results of a Global Survey of Clinical Practice, 2021, The World Journal of Men's Health
  • Sperm Morphology Assessment in the Era of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection: Reliable Results Require Focus on Standardization, Quality Control, and Training, 2021, The World Journal of Men's Health

Sharma collaborates regularly with several coauthors, indicating active engagement in a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional research network. Frequent co-authors include:

  • Sarvesh Rustagi
  • Shilpa Gaidhane
  • Mahalaqua Nazli Khatib
  • Quazi Syed Zahiruddin
