c d i d t s p T l b c bstract. This paper proposes a method of six-color separation sing additional colorants and a quantitative granularity metric to educe the color difference and graininess. In conventional six-color eparation, the use of light magenta and light cyan is generally an ffective way of reducing the visibility of dots in bilevel printing deices, i.e., light magenta and light cyan...

A conjecture of Woods from 1972 is disproved. A lattice in R is called well-rounded if its shortest nonzero vectors span R, is called unimodular if its covolume is equal to one, and the covering radius of a lattice Λ is the least r such that R = Λ + Br, where Br is the closed Euclidean ball of radius r. Let Nd denote the greatest value of the covering radius over all well-rounded unimodular lat...

We report the case of a young woman who was admitted because of small bowel obstruction and localized peritonitis following a dilatation and curettage ('D' and 'C') of uterus in abortion. As infection, like tubo-ovarian abscess may complicate any abortion, it seems wise to ensure that it does not exist prior to performing a 'D' and 'C'.

Plesiomonas shigelloides, the only oxidase-positive Enterobacteriaceae, is an inhabitant of freshwater and estuary ecosystems. We report the first possible case of Plesiomonas shigelloides-induced septic abortion. This 24-year-old female was successfully treated by dilatation and curettage as well as antimicrobial therapy.

Spontaneous delivery through a cervical tear, provoked by prostaglandin-induced uterine contractions, was described in a G2P0 woman with a history of cervical dilatation and uterine curettage. This rare complication with potentially serious maternal-fetal consequences can be predicted by an aberrant cervical response to prostaglandins in parturients with previous cervical interventions.

Objective. The main objective of the study was to determine the reliability of the Cornier’ pipelle endometrial biopsy in determining endometrial cancer, and the comparison of this with the gold standard method, dilatation and curettage. Materials and methods. A number of 105 patients with indication of endometrial biopsy were included in this study. Initially the Cornier’ pipelle endometrial b...
