Pregnancy and contraceptive use among women participating in an HIV prevention trial in Tanzania. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Information on pregnancy rates and factors associated with pregnancy and contraceptive use is important for clinical trials in women in sub-Saharan Africa where withdrawal of investigational products may be required in the event of pregnancy ...

The influence of gauge field smearing on discretisation effects [PDF]
When designing lattice actions, gauge field smearing is frequently used to define the lattice Dirac operator. Since the smearing procedure removes effects of ultraviolet fluctuations, the fermions effectively see a larger lattice spacing than the gauge fields.

Distribution of human papillomaviruses and bacterial vaginosis in HIV positive women with abnormal cytology in Mombasa, Kenya [PDF]
Background: HPV is the major etiological factor in the causal pathway for cervical cancer, which is the leading cancer among women in sub-Saharan Africa. HIV is associated with a higher prevalence and a broader range of high-risk HPV genotypes.

Evaluation of Pre-Malignant and Malignant Lesions in Cervico Vaginal (Pap) Smears by Nuclear Morphometry [PDF]
Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer occurring among women worldwide, with almost half a million new cases each year. Normal cells gradually transform to form cancer cells through several stages.

Gauge field smearing and controlled continuum extrapolations [PDF]
Two popular methods to reduce discretisation effects are Symanzik improvement and gauge field smearing in the Dirac operator. Tree-level $O(a^2)$-improved Wilson fermions can be obtained from $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions by adding one dimension-6 operator to the action. For gauge field smearing one wants to avoid the situation when too much smearing

Prevalence of Bacterial Vaginosis and Associated Factors among Pregnant Women Attending at Bugando Medical Centre, Mwanza, Tanzania [PDF]
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an extremely common reproductive tract condition worldwide with reported high prevalence among African population. Factors associated with this condition include preterm labour, premature rupture of membranes, preterm delivery

Local join therapy of vaginal infections by nifuratel-nistatin [PDF]
A test included 40 women in the reproductive age with clinical symptoms of vaginitis and microbiologycal examination. They were treated by combined therapy of vaginal tablets of nifuratel, 500mg and nistatin 200 000 i. u.

In order to study the vaginal defensive mechanisms in ewes, vaginal smears and biopsies were collected from eight adult Awasi ewes. The biopsies samples were processed by the routine histological methods and stained by H & E and PAS stains, while the ...

Over-Improved Stout-Link Smearing [PDF]
A new over-improved stout-link smearing algorithm, designed to stabilise instanton-like objects, is presented. A method for quantifying the selection of the over-improvement parameter, $\epsilon$, is demonstrated. The new smearing algorithm is compared with the original stout-link smearing, and Symanzik improved smearing through calculations of the ...
