Cervical cancer is a prevalent cancer in women, often caused by HPV infection, and can cause symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding and pain during sexual intercourse. However, cervical myoma can also cause similar symptoms, making it difficult to differentiate between the two conditions. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer can lead to a poorer outcome for patients, highlighting the importance of accurately identifying the disease. Healthcare professionals should be aware of this rare clinical situation and conduct thorough examinations to differentiate between cervical cancer and cervical myoma. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve the prognosis for patients with this disease. Women should also be aware of the potential symptoms of cervical cancer and consult a healthcare professional if they experience abnormal vaginal bleeding or pain during sexual intercourse. Vaccination against HPV can help prevent cervical cancer, making it important for women to discuss this option with their healthcare provider. This article reports a case of cervical cancer mimicking a cervical myoma, highlighting the importance of considering this rare clinical situation in differential diagnoses.","PeriodicalId":14297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Reports","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78554876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite being histologically considered benign, these tumors can be locally aggressive and have a high rate of local recurrence, as well as the potential for distant metastasis. Due to their rarity and the difficulty of treating them due to their critical location, the ideal treatment protocol for managing clival GCTs remains controversial. The present report describes a 22-year-old female who experienced ptosis on her right eye and visual disturbance for one month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large, heterogenous, lobulated mass lesion arising from the clivus, extending anteriorly and compressing the optic chiasm and optic tract, with both parasellar extension and extension into the sphenoid sinus. An endoscopic endonasal trans-sphenoidal procedure was performed to excise the lesion. Post-operative MRI revealed residual disease, so a revision surgery was done using a combined microscopic and endoscopic procedure. Following surgery, the patient was given Denosumab for one year as well as has been symptom-free for the past 18 months of follow-up. This report contributes to the limited literature on the GCTs involving the clivus.","PeriodicalId":14297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Reports","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83897673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of increasing mass due to motion and postponing gravitational field on gravitational interaction is not taken into account by general relativity. The effect of \"mass increases duo to motion\" and “retardance of gravitational field” on gravitational interaction is not taken into account by general relativity. There are still some logical contradictions in the theory of relativity (especially the special theory of relativity). These are two main types of problems in relativity version 1.0.

The climate of these areas provides a favourable environment for the breeding vector of this disease. With Asia bearing 70% of the burden, Pakistan has been found to have a high incidence of dengue. Lack of proper healthcare facilities, rapid increase in population and substandard drainage system are a few of the problems resulting in the high number of cases. With evidence reporting the possibility of vertical transmission of this disease, it is necessary to determine the effects of dengue on the mother and the infant. Adverse effects include an increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, fetal loss, and maternal mortality in severe cases. The recent disastrous monsoon rainfall in Pakistan has inflicted great damage on rural areas; with the number of dengue fever cases rising to 64,000. The situation continues to worsen as the absence of proper health care and lack of action from relevant bodies has left many pregnant women vulnerable to dengue infection and unable to have safe deliveries. To combat this, the distribution of relief boxes is needed to alleviate the problems faced by victims of dengue, especially pregnant women. In order to raise awareness of this situation, this commentary has been written to describe the need for immediate action to be taken so that potential casualties of this generation and the one to come can be minimized.","PeriodicalId":14297,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Reports","volume":"EM-30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84589026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthy ageing is also characterized by reduction in muscle mass, maximal strength, rate of force development and changes in the architectural and mechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit, thus affecting balance in the elderly. Here, we sought to compare the effectiveness of Frenkel’s and Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises on the balance in elderly within age group 60-70 years.\u0000Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 32 geriatric people of age group 60-70 years with medium risk of fall. The risk of fall was considered using Berg Balance Scale (BBS: 21-40 score). The sample size (n=32) was divided into 16 subjects each in Group A and Group B respectively.
