Paper pop-ups are interesting three-dimensional books that fascinate people of all ages. The design and construction of these pop-up books however are done manually and require a lot of time and effort. This has led to computer-assisted or automated tools for designing paper pop-ups. This paper proposes an approach for automatically converting a 3D model into a multi-style paper pop-up. Previou...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in women with POP and the effect of baseline POP severity on improvement in OAB after surgical repair of POP. And we also tried to identify any preoperative factors for persistent postoperative OAB symptoms. METHODS A total of 87 patients with coexisting PO...

background: pelvic organ prolapse is a common gynecologic condition in women that rarely occur in pregnancy and can complicate the pregnancy. a woman with prolapsed uterus in second trimester of pregnancy and her follow up are presented here. case report: a 35-years old g2p1 woman with history of last normal pregnancy and successful vaginal delivery attended to emergency ward of hospital. she w...

The first examples of [Cu(N^N)(POP)](+) complexes (POP = bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether) in which the N^N domain is a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy) ligand have been prepared and characterized; N^N = tpy, 5,5''-dimethyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (1), 4′-(4-tolyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (2), 4′-(4-npropoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (3) and 4′-(4-nbutoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (...

1To evaluate the content of phytosterol oxidation products (POP) of foods with added phytosterols, in total 14 studies measuring POP contents of foods with added phytosterols were systematically reviewed. In non-heated or stored foods, POP contents were low, ranging from (medians) 0.03-3.6 mg/100 g with corresponding oxidation rates of phytosterols (ORP) of 0.03-0.06%. In fat-based foods with 8...

Evidence suggests European American (EA) women have two- to five-fold increased odds of having pelvic organ prolapse (POP) when compared with African American (AA) women. However, the role of genetic ancestry in relation to POP risk is not clear. Here we evaluate the association between genetic ancestry and POP in AA women from the Women's Health Initiative Hormone Therapy trial. Women with gra...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The role of per-oral pancreatoscopy (POP) in the evaluation of occult pancreatic duct (PD) lesions remains limited to case series. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of POP to differentiate malignant from benign diseases of the PD. METHODS Patients who underwent POP between 2000 and 2013 for the evaluation of indeterminate PD strictures, dilatations, or with...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare histological and biochemical features of the (normal) precervical anterior vaginal wall and the prolapsed anterior vaginal wall of women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). These data were compared to tissue of the precervical anterior vaginal wall of age-matched controls without POP to identify possible intrinsic and acquired effects. STUDY ...
