Objective(s): In developing countries and worldwide cervical cancer is an important cause of   female mortality. Reports describing the frequency and pattern of abnormal Pap smears in Saudi Arabia, using the revised Bethesda system (RBS) are very few. The current study was conducted to explore the changing pattern of epithelial cell abnormalities (ECA) detected in Pap smears (PS) in females of ...

Terminal relaying offers an effective means for improving the performance of OFDMA-based wireless networks. This is because, in addition to offering implementable high orders of spatial diversity to Wireless Terminals (WTs), the number of Terminal Relays (TRs) naturally increases with the number of WTs. However, effective coordination between these TRs becomes a cumbersome task with the increas...

BACKGROUND Urbanization is the most prevailing cause of habitat transformation worldwide, differing from others by its intense levels of human activity. Despite its obvious impact on wildlife, it is still unclear why and how some species are able to adapt to urban settings. One possibility is that fear of humans and vehicles could preclude most species from invading cities. Species entering urb...

BACKGROUND Radiation proctitis after intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) differs from that seen after pelvic irradiation in that this adverse event is a result of high-dose radiation to a very small area in the rectum. We evaluated the results of treatment for hemorrhagic proctitis after IMRT for prostate cancer. METHODS Between November 2004 and February 2010, 403 patients with pros...

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized in single-crystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) using a high-energetic gold ion implantation with the intention of subsequent modification by silicon irradiation. (100)-oriented YSZ samples implanted 1 MeV Au + ions at room temperature and fluences 1.5×10 16 cm −2 , 5.0×10 7.5×10 subsequently annealed for h 1100 °C air. NPs was realized irradi...

Abstract Background The phase 3 True North (TN) study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of ozanimod over 52 weeks in patients (pts) with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Pts completing TN were eligible for ongoing open-label extension (OLE) assessing long-term ozanimod. Presented here is interim analysis OLE focused on symptomatic pts approximately years continuous trea...

In this paper enhanced red-breasted sapsucker (ERBS) algorithm has been proposed to solve the power loss lessening problem. RBS is designed on copulate actions of RBS. Male (MRBS) will attract female with an exclusive tone. Concerning concentration tone (FMBS) progress in direction MRBS. Various engendered by MRBS catch fancy FRBS, and action analogous data contribution Evolutionary techniques....
