Background: Abortion is the medical or surgical termination of pregnancy before 20th week. However, dilation and curettage have been associated with hazards such as uterine rupture, heavy bleeding, infection. Therefore, in recent decades, pharmacological therapies become more widely accepted. Objectives: This research compared abortion success rates misoprostol/letrozole versus misoprostol/plac...

in this paper shear behavior of two calcareous sands having different physical properties areinvestigated using drained and undrained triaxial tests. the investigated sands are obtained from two differentzones located in persian gulf, kish island and tonbak region. analysis based on energy aspects show thatfriction angle in these soils, having crushable particles, is formed of three components:...

Aims. Our aim is to compare the adequacy and diagnostic yield of samples obtained by the endometrial Explora Sampler I-MX120 with endometrial specimens obtained by conventional dilatation and curettage (D&C). Methods. A total of 1270 endometrial samples were received in the histopathology laboratories at the King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2007 and 2010. In the ou...

Here the action |k of PSL2(R) on functions g : H 7→ C is defined by (g|kγ)(z) = g(γz)(cz + d)−k with γ = ( ∗ ∗ c d ) in PSL2(R). We extend the action to the group ring C[PSL2(R)] by linearity. This definition can be extended in a natural way to higher-order forms. (Note that the order in this definition differs from that in the definitions given in previous papers in the subject. The reason for...

,4bstruct.-Critical swimming speed (U,,,) is a common rneHsure of the relationship between exercise intensity and duration within the prolonged perforn~nnce nvelope. This relationship is often used to establish wntcr velocity criterin for fishways and culverts; however, the technique involves the nssumptions that fish will choose to move at ( I ) n swimming spced cquivulent to U,,, and (2) a gr...

We study evolutionary game dynamics in a well-mixed populations of finite size, N . A well-mixed population means that any two individuals are equally likely to interact. In particular we consider the average abundances of two strategies, A and B, under mutation and selection. The game dynamical interaction between the two strategies is given by the 2 × 2 payoff matrix ( a b c d ) . It has prev...

Purpose:Overexpression of the oncogen Stathmin has been linked to aggressive endometrial carcinoma and a potential for PI3Kinase inhibitors in this disease. We wanted to validate the prognostic value of Stathmin expression in a large prospective multicenter setting. As lymph node sampling is part of current surgical staging, we also aimed to test if Stathmin expression in endometrial curettage ...

UNLABELLED Objective : There is an increasing rate of ectopic pregnancy with the use of assisted reproductive techniques. There is currently no serum test to differentiate ectopic pregnancy from miscarriage. Early and accurate detection of ectopic pregnancy may prevent the development of complications. The aim of this study was whether the ratio of serum/curettage material hCG could provide us ...
