Spotting with the NuvaRing

Is breakthrough bleeding putting you on the spot? One common side effect for many women who use the NuvaRing [2] is spotting, or light blood loss in between their periods. This is a perfectly normal occurrence, and it does not mean that the NuvaRing is not working as a contraceptive. The amount of bleeding is usually minimal and may occur from time to time for no apparent reason. However, shoul...

A 6-year-old girl with vaginal spotting who was diagnosed with perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm after vaginoscopic resection

Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm (PEComa) is a rare tumor with unknown malignant potential. We report a case of a 6-year-old child with history of brain tumor (pineoblastoma), who presented with intermittent vaginal spotting for 6 months. A vaginoscopy revealed a 1.5×1.0-cm mass on the vaginal wall. Pathological examination demonstrated that the tumor was composed of clear cells with orga...

Spotting Trees with Few Leaves

We show two results related to the Hamiltonicity and k-Path algorithms in undirected graphs by Björklund [FOCS’10], and Björklund et al., [arXiv’10]. First, we demonstrate that the technique used can be generalized to finding some k-vertex tree with l leaves in an n-vertex undirected graph in O(1.6572) time. It can be applied as a subroutine to solve the k-Internal Spanning Tree (k-IST) problem...

Plosive spotting with margin classifiers

This paper presents a novel algorithm for precise spotting of plosives. The algorithm is based on a pattern matching technique implemented with margin classifiers, such as support vector machines (SVM). A special hierarchical treatment to overcome the problem of fricative and false silence detection is presented. It uses the loss-based multi-class decisions. Furthermore, a method for smoothing ...
