Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks among the most prevalent tumors globally. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) serves as the standard treatment for intermediate and advanced stages of HCC. However, patient responses to TACE vary significantly. This study aims to assess the predictive value of combining CT radiomics with inflammatory composite indicators for evaluating the efficacy of initial TACE in HCC patients.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of early cumulus cell removal (ECCR) during human in vitro fertilization (IVF). A retrospective analysis was performed between January 2011 and December 2019. The study enrolled 1131 couples who underwent IVF treatment with ECCR. After propensity score matching at a 1:1 ratio, 1131 couples who underwent overnight coincubation of gametes were selected. The main outcome measure was the cumulative live birth rate.
Introduction Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is mainly used for male factor infertility. The average fertilization rate after ICSI is approximately 70% to 80% (1). However, 1%~5% of ICSI cycles occurring still result in total fertilization failure (TFF) or almost complete fertilization failure, defined as a fertilization rate of less than 30% (2).
