Objective: To examine the effects of IFCPC transformation zone type and treatment modality on outcome from excisional treatments for cervical pre-invasive disease at an inner city colposcopy department.
Materials And Methods: All patients treated within the colposcopy department for whom age, treatment modality, resection margin status at histology and six-month cytologic data was available.
Results: Transformation zone type is affected by patient age. Change in accessibility of the transformation zone to examiantion by colposcopy affected cytologic outcome. There was no obvious effect of treatment modality to explain this change in outcome.
Conclusions: Transformation zone type is an important determinant of excisional treatment outcome for cervical disease. This needs to be considered when comparing therapeutic success.

Soil degradation is a major cause of agricultural productivity decrease in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, efforts to reduce this environmental issue has emerged since several decades. However, most of the techniques developed are rarely adopted by farmers.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Success of CAR-T treatment heavily relies on early referral to the CAR-T center, on a short time of infusion of CAR-T cells from the lymphocyte collection and on a reduced burden of disease. Here we describe the case of a patient with diagnosis of High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL6 rearrangements, transformed from marginal zone lymphoma, referred with a refractory and rapidly progressive disease.

In this study, brown macroalgae Hormophysta triquetra (HT) collected from the Qatari coast is used to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from its aqueous (AQ), chloroform: methanol (MCF), and ethanolic extracts (ET). The NPs are characterized using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The NPs were evaluated for their antibacterial activities by disc-diffusion method and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were assessed.

Poly(triazine imide) (PTI) materials, a class of layered graphitic carbon nitrides, have garnered significant attention for their unique electronic, thermal, and catalytic properties. These properties can be adjusted through postsynthesis treatments. However, the influence of these treatments on the layer stacking modes and local structures within PTI remains largely unexplored.
