Four hundred twenty-six patients with colposcopically directed, biopsy-proved, mild, moderate, or marked dysplasia or carcinoma in situ of the cervix were treated with outpatient electrocauterization, from 1973 to mid- 1982. Of these, 413 were available for follow-up between 3 and 6 months. The initial cure rate was 85.95%, and the cure rate when a second treatment for initial failures was included was 96.6%. These patients have been followed for 1 to 5 years, and the annual follow-up rate has ranged from 65% to 80%. Recurrences were few, but did occur as late as 3 years after treatment.

Due to the non-renewable nature of petroleum resources, there has been a notable shift toward utilizing biomass materials to confer flame retardant properties to cotton fabrics. However, endow solely with single function cannot meet the application requirements across various fields. Therefore, there is considerable impetus to develop multifunctional cotton fabrics integrating flame retardant, antimicrobial, and hydrophobic properties sourced from biomass.

Objective: The usage of doxorubicin (DOX), an antineoplastic drug that is frequently used for the cure of cancer, is restricted to maximal doses due to its cardiac toxicity. Reactive oxygen species produced by DOX result in lipid peroxidation and organ failure, ultimately resulting in cardiomyopathy. Due to its high polyphenol content, virgin rice bran oil (VRBO) is a diet nutritional supplement with a strong antioxidant.

Background: Benign laryngeal lesions, characterized by non-cancerous growths in the larynx, significantly impact voice quality and respiratory function. These lesions, which include vocal cord polyps, nodules, papillomas, and cysts, often result from factors such as vocal abuse, viral infections, and chronic inflammation. While studies on benign laryngeal lesions are well-documented globally, data specific to Northern Nigeria remains sparse.
