Abstract
The results suggest that the prevalence of HPV in this study population exceeds the international data. The results attracts the attention the peak prevalence of the high risk types in the youngest age-group, and the higher risk of cervical abnormality in case of presence of two or more HPV types. T...

Abstract
We were able to successfully identify the RCOF in a significantly large number of strikes across 40 participants. In a portion of the strikes, the transverse shear force increased the RCOF significantly. In a significant portion of the strikes, the RCOF2 occurred much earlier than RCOF1....

Abstract
We identified 433 dippers and 230 subjects with a nocturnal non-dipping pattern. Nocturnal SBP dipping was independently of office SBP associated with decreased PWV (p = 0.008), lower ACR (p = 0.001) and NT-proBNP (p = 0.001) and increased GFR (p<0.001).
We conclude that diurnal BP v...

Abstract
Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for the majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. Approximately 10% of cases of ovarian cancer are due to germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Ovarian cancer associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations has a distinct histological ph...

Abstract
Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are at high risk of death resulting from noncancer causes and second malignancies (ie, competing mortality). Variation in competing mortality risk complicates individual treatment choices and design and interpretation of clinical studies.
