background: abnormal pap smear consists of premalignant or malignant cervical lesions. many of premalignant cervical lesions will never progress to invasive malignancy, or even may regress over the time. thus, there is always a risk of overtreatment of patients with an abnormal pap smear. a long-term follow-up of these patients can reveal final events associated with each  subtype of abnormal p...

background: phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (pap) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid to yield p i and diacylglycerol. two different forms of pap have been reported in rat hepatocyte: pap 1 that participates in the synthesis of phospholipids and triacylglycerols and pap 2 which is involved in lipid signaling pathways. two isoforms of pap 2 are pap 2a and pap 2b . this study exam...

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered the standard for assessment of physiological significance coronary artery stenosis. Intracoronary papaverine (PAP) most potent vasodilator used achievement maximal hyperemia. However, its use can provoke ventricular tachycardia (VT) due to excessive QT prolongation. We evaluated clinical efficacy and safety administration PAP after nicorandil (NIC), a...

objective(s): in developing countries and worldwide cervical cancer is an important cause of   female mortality. reports describing the frequency and pattern of abnormal pap smears in saudi arabia, using the revised bethesda system (rbs) are very few. the current study was conducted to explore the changing pattern of epithelial cell abnormalities (eca) detected in pap smears (ps) in females of ...
