Circulants over Finite Fields The most basic question we can ask in the study of circulants over a finite fields is the structure of the units in the circulant ring. With one exception, we shall provide a complete description of the isomorphism class of the unit group. But, we shall only provide a method of constructing these unit groups assuming generators to the units of various fields are gi...

Obstetric cholestasis (OC) is the most common liver condition specific to pregnancy and affects around 5,000 women in the UK every year. It's generally benign for the mother although the main presenting symptom of pruritus can sometimes be so severe that the woman scratches herself until she bleeds. However, the main concerns are for the fetus, as the condition is associated with an increased r...

We studied the behavioral, cognitive, and neuroimaging characteristics of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in 13 patients with focal brain lesions (acquired OCD) and compared their clinical features and the severity of obsessive and compulsive (OC) symptoms with patients with idiopathic OCD. Both OCD groups were further compared with matched normal controls on a series of neuropsychological ...

The term “oral cancer” (OC) includes a diverse group of tumors arising from the oral cavity. Usually included are cancers of the lip, tongue, pharynx, and oral cavity. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported oral cancer as having one of the highest mortality ratios amongst all malignancies [1]. Although OC is rare and attracts little attention, it is more common than Hodgkin’s disease or t...

The recent launch of the new National elite women's football competitions in Australia has seen a 20–50% increase grassroots female participation. With growing participation across to competitions, understanding health athletes should be prioritized. In level athletes, hormonal contraceptive (HC) use is common (~50%), however, little known about prevalence and reasons for disuse HC athletes. As...

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks 8th among cancers in women. It is a non-visualizable, non-screenable with late onset of symptoms and diagnosis, which translates into low recurrence-free overall survival rates. The 5-year decreases as the OC stage increases. World Health Organization has predicted 47 % increase incidence by 2040 to approximately 434,000 newly diagnosed cases an annual 59 mortality (up...

BACKGROUND Combined oral contraceptives (OCs) inhibit ovulation, substantially reduce the volume of menstrual flow and may hypothetically interfere with implantation of refluxed endometrial cells. The aim of this review is to establish if OC use influences the risk of endometriosis. METHODS We performed a MEDLINE search to identify all studies published in the last four decades (January 1970 ...

INTRODUCTION By the age of 35 years, most women would have completed their families and contraception then becomes an important consideration. In the next one or two decades, other health concerns such as osteoporosis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, ovarian, endometrial, colorectal and breast cancers and cardiovascular diseases will assume prominence in the lives of women. We review the role o...

BACKGROUND Prolonged psychological stress is a risk factor for illness and constitutes an increasing public health challenge creating a need to develop public interventions specifically targeting stress and promoting mental health. The present randomized controlled trial evaluated health effects of a novel program: Relaxation-Response-based Mental Health Promotion (RR-MHP). METHODS The multim...
