Background: Self-mutilation is one of the most extreme types of self-harm, which is done deliberately to hurt the body, regardless of suicidal intent. In self-mutilation, the most important targets are the eyes, genital tract, and hands. So far, genital self-mutilation (GSM) has been less frequently reported around the world. According to our study, this is the first case of GSM reported in Ira...

γ-Secretase modulation has been proposed as a potential disease modifying anti-Alzheimer's approach. γ-Secretase modulators (GSMs) cause a product shift from the longer amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide isoforms to shorter, more soluble, and less amyloidogenic isoforms, without inhibiting APP or Notch proteolytic processing. As such, modulating γ-secretase may avoid some of the adverse effects observed...

The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...

Standardized in 3GPP as part of the GSM/WCDMA family, EDGE is a simple and cost-efficient upgrade that provides a more than threefold increase in both the capacity and performance of GSM/GPRS networks. EDGE is a digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates as a backward-compatible extension of GSM. The structure of EDGE resembles to that of GSM network that enabl...
