Cancer Is to Embryology as Mutation Is to Genetics: Hypothesis of the Cancer as Embryological Phenomenon by Jaime Cofre, Eliana Abdelhay

“…Embryologists have expressed timidly cancer embryological origin with little success in leveraging the discussion that cancer could involve a set of conventional cellular processes used to build the embryo during morphogenesis. Thus, this “cancer process” allows the harmonious and coherent construction of the embryo structural base, and its implementation as the embryonic process involves joint regulation of differentiation, proliferation, cell invasion, and migration, enabling the human being recreation of every generation. …”

Effects of Intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropin on Endometrial Receptivity in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycle by Omaima Al Dosary, Huda Hussaini, Manal Al-Obaidi

“…Ultrasound examination and assessment of plasma hormone level on cycle days 2-3 were done for all patients like follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol E2, prolactin, and thyroid stimulating hormone. Embryo transfer, luteal support, and serum beta-hCG on day 14 after embryo transfer were performed, and the pregnancy rate was registered.Result: Group A had significantly lower means for the RI, PI, and S/D ratio than groups B and C (P-value = 0.001, 0.002, and 0.027, respectively). …”
