Background: Cervical cancer accounts for the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Pap smear test is one of the best tests to screen for cervical cancer and enables detection in its premalignant stage. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of abnormal Pap smears in a tertiary care hospital and correlate with histology wherever possible. Methods: Cases were collected...

To explore the structural basis for the essential role of calmodulin (CaM) in Aspergillus nidulans, we have compared the biochemical and in vivo properties of A. nidulans CaM (AnCaM) with those of heterologous CaMs. Neither Saccharomyces cerevisiae CaM (ScCaM) nor a Ca2+ binding mutant of A. nidulans CaM (1234) interacts appreciably with A. nidulans CaM binding proteins by an overlay assay or a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the value of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for primary cervical cancer screening in Japan. METHODS In total, 5065 women who underwent primary screening with cytology and HPV between January 2005 and December 2006 were enrolled. In the baseline phase, these women were stratified by age, and the rates of HPV-positive and abnormal cytology we...

The results of a spectroscopic investigation of a complete sample of objects with Ks < 20 mag in a 2 by 7.3 arcmin field at J005325+1234 are reported. Redshifts were successfully obtained for 163 of the 195 objects in the sample; these redshifts lie in the range [0.173, 1.44] and have a median of 0.58 (excluding 24 Galactic stars). The redshift identifications are believed to be almost complete...

The later stages of the UK government’s roadmap out lockdown are “highly likely” to cause a surge covid-19 infections, hospital admissions, and deaths this summer, suggests modelling from three groups scientists considered by Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage). SPI-M-O, Sage’s Pandemic Influenza on Modelling (Operational) subgroup, reviewed Imperial College London, University War...
