Abstract Background At term, cervical ripening in coordination with uterine contractions becomes a prerequisite for a normal vaginal delivery.Currently, cervical ripening is considered to occur independently from uterine contractions.Many evidences suggest that cervical ripening resembles an inflammatory process.Comparatively little attention has b
Geological heritage (geo-heritage) is a resource for geoscience, geo-education, and geo-tourism.Geo-tourist attractions differ in their physical visibility, interpretation (clarity), and aesthetic attractiveness.These three characteristics determine perception of visitors and, thus, the importance of attractions.An integrative parameter, namely spe
A rare form of dermatofibroma (DF) is described in the literature as giant dermatofibroma.Due to the rarity and distinct presentation that can be confused with more sinister skin tumours, these can cause diagnostic uncertainty and require clinicopathologic correlation.Familiarity with this rare presentation of an otherwise Biscuits common entity is
Physical dormancy (PY) due to a water-impermeable seed/fruit coat is one of the characteristic features of many species of Haarwachs Fabaceae; however, the timing and context of the evolution of this trait are poorly understood.In this investigation, fossil and molecular data are used to constrain the timing of the evolution of PY.The phylogenetic
Background: Cerebrospinal fluid leak is a relatively common problem ranging from 0.5% to 18% with traumatic or incidental injury to the Dura intra-operatively1, 2.Traumatic injury mostly occurs due to mechanical trauma with subsequent thecal sac laceration mainly in the thoracolumbar region.Incidental Dural injury commonly happens in patients under
