Development of a gestational sac in a cesarean scar of the lower uterine segment is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is rising in frequency, as are cesarean section deliveries. CSP is a potentially life-threatening condition which, if not detected early and managed aggressively, can result in uterine rupture, massive hemorrhage and maternal death. The most common ...

This paper describes an extension to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) approach called MUSE CSP (Multiply SEgmented Constraint Satisfaction Problem). This extension is especially useful for those problems which segment into multiple sets of partially shared variables. Such problems arise naturally in signal processing applications including computer vision, speech processing, and handwr...

Two experiments were designed to examine the effects of crude seminal plasma (CSP) exposure ofejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa before freezing. Experiment 1, two consecutive ejaculates werecollected (n=4) within 5 min, the second one was carried out in a tube containing Fiser extender (coatedspermatozoa); by centrifugation, seminal plasma was removed from coated ejaculates. The pellets wer...

Background and Objectives: After the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine, an increase has been observed in the disease due to nonspecific stereotypes of the vaccine. This study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of pneumococcal vaccine coverage and common stereotypes of streptococcus pneumonia after vaccine introduction in the vaccine recipient countries.   Methods: The ...

The brain-computer interface (BCI) is one of the most promising technologies that allows us to establish a relationship between brain and devices. In this study, three-channel EEG signals collected from nine subjects performing two motor imagery tasks are classified using different deep neural network (DNN) based approaches called framework 1 (FW1) 2 (FW2). proposed frameworks were evaluated BC...

Ventilated cigarettes were designed to reduce the levels of smoke under machine testing conditions; however, smokers alter their smoking pattern to compensate for the reduction in yields. A relative shift in incidence of lung cancer from the more central lung airways to the alveolar region has also been associated with ventilated cigarette use. Validated mathematical models indicate that partic...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of coriander seed powder (CSP) on the atherosclerotic and cardioprotective indices in type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: In this study, fifty type 2 diabetic patients consumed 2 capsules of the CSP /day for a period of 6weeks. Blood samples were collected from the patients before and after the course of CSP consu...

Motivated by distributed implementation of game-theoretical algorithms, we study symmetric systems, i.e. systems of processes which are intuitively “treated on an equal footing”, and the problem of attaining common knowledge between processes. We formalize our setting by defining peer-to-peer networks and appropriate symmetry notions in the context of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) [1...
