ERI: Toward Unfolding the Effect of Sex Variations in Biomechanics of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many other brain diseases/injuries exhibit sex differences in prevalence. onset. and outcomes. Some of these differences are attributed to the fact that the human brain is sexually dimorphic and there are certain regional and structural differences that exist between male and female brains. However. the effect of these sex variations in biomechanical responses of brain have not been elucidated. The paucity of sex-specific knowledge in brain biomechanics and TBI fields is mainly due to the fact that. these fields have predominantly focused on males.

The Pap smear challenge: Comparing the clinical performance of a novel “Molecular Pap” based on next-generation sequencing to traditional cervical cancer screening

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections and associated diseases have been a chronic and growing health problem for the worlds population. HPV is now recognized as the carcinogen of almost all invasive cervical cancers and a major cause of other human malignancies including oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers totaling ~ 600,000 cases worldwide annually. Economically, HPV imparts a tremendous financial burden on the world health systems in terms of expenditure for HPV prevention, periodic surveillance and cancer treatments.
