Background: Urolithiasis is a common urological problem that is associated with high morbidity. A comprehensive assessment of the non-fatal and fatal health trends of urolithiasis by age, sex, and geography over time is necessary to inform policy to control this surgically managed non-communicable disease.
Methods: This study was conducted using the standard GBD methodology and analytic tools.

Background And Purpose: Cervical cancer is an important public health issue with a high incidence and death rate in Africa. It is mostly treated with Brachytherapy as the gold standard but its access is limited. This study set out to investigate the distribution and accessibility of brachytherapy units in Africa for the treatment of cervical cancer, and to provide some recommendations for increasing the quantity and accessibility of such equipment throughout the continent.

Borophene, an anisotropic metallic Dirac material exhibits superlative physical and chemical properties. While the lack of bandgap restricts its electronic chip applications, insufficient charge carrier density and electrochemical/catalytically active sites, restricts its energy storage and catalysis applications. Fluorination of borophene can induce bandgap and yield local electron injection within its crystallographic lattice.

We introduce a class of discrete single species models with distributed delay in the reproductive process and a cohort dependent survival function that accounts for survival pressure during that delay period. These delay recurrences track the mature population for species in which individuals reach maturity after at least τ and at most τ+τ breeding cycles. Under realistic model assumptions, we prove the existence of a critical delay threshold, τ˜.
