Cellular effects of acute exposure to high peak power microwave systems: Morphology and toxicology.

Electric fields produced by advanced pulsed microwave transmitter technology now readily exceed the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C.95.1 peak E-field limit of 100 kV/m, highlighting a need for scientific validation of such a specific limit.

Controversy in colposcopic management: a Canadian survey.

Objective: The substantial reduction in cervical cancer mortality over the last 40 years is attributed to the use of Papanicolaou cervical smear screening with subsequent colposcopic assessment and treatment. Although there is consensus regarding colposcopic management of high-grade intraepithelial cervical lesions, optimal management of patients with low-grade (LG) lesions is less clear. Our goal was to document the colposcopic management of the latter group in Canada.

Primary carcinoma of the rectovaginal septum diagnosed as uterine prolapse.

Background: Primary carcinoma of the rectovaginal septum is very rare. Most cases are associated with documented endometriosis, and patients will often present with vaginal or rectal bleeding.

Case: A 47-year-old woman presented to the emergency department complaining of urinary symptoms and "something falling out of the vagina.

Quantitation of basal dyssynchrony and acute resynchronization from left or biventricular pacing by novel echo-contrast variability imaging.

Objectives: This study sought to test a novel echocardiographic method based on contrast variability imaging (CVI), to quantify cardiac dyssynchrony and magnitude of resynchronization achieved by left ventricular (LV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing therapy.

Background: Left ventricular or BiV pacing is a promising new therapy for patients with heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay. However, precise quantitation of the extent of resynchronization achieved remains scant.
