Cancers of the uterine corpus and cervix are the most common gynecologic malignancies worldwide. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system was first established in 1958, when it was recognized that the recurrence rate and patient outcomes were directly related to the degree of tumor spread at the patient's initial presentation. Changes in understanding of t...

It is universally recognized that an accurate and precise staging and classification system for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is essential to enable clinicians to assess the prognosis or the risk of patients, to individualize and to optimize their treatment. There have been a variety of staging and classification systems developed by different centres and some are still being used. ...

The construction of an input-to-state stability (ISS) Lyapunov function for networks of ISS system will be presented. First we construct ISS Lyapunov functions for each strongly connected component, then what remains is a cascade (or disconnected aggregation) of these strongly connected components. Using known results the constructed Lyapunov functions can be aggregated to one single ISS Lyapun...

Abstract Background Myeloma bone disease (MBD) is a common complication that significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in multiple myeloma (MM). Serum sclerostin level sympathetic activity can affect MBD. The purpose of this study evaluation serum (using skin response “SSR”) MM patients, studying the relationship between both them as well their with 35 smoldering patients (group I) n...

With continuing security concerns for airport operations, the protection of internal operational protocols of an international airport has become more critical than ever before. Therefore, the Information Security System (ISS) was developed for Incheon International Airport which can protect the critical information related to airport operations. The developed ISS includes a document access con...

background endometrial carcinoma is a highly prevalent gynecologic malignancy. the international federation of gynecology and obstetrics (figo) staging system underwent significant revision on 2009. key changes in the figo staging system include simplification of stage i endometrial cancer and removal of cervical mucosal invasion as a separate stage. mri is a noninvasive diagnostic method for p...

This paper presents the results of application of innovative knowledge-based multi-agent technology for scheduling of flight program, cargo flow, fuel, water, and other resources of International Space Station (ISS). The developed system aims creating solid information space for scientists, responsible for ISS life activity and supply with various resources and provides intelligent scheduling c...

Serum ferritin is used for diagnosing iron-related disorders. However, most studies validating this application were performed before the introduction of the 2nd and 3rd WHO International Standards (ISs) to harmonize assay results. We revised the available literature to evaluate if consolidated clinical applications of ferritin and recommended cut-offs have been validated using ISs calibrated a...
