Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix in the lowermost part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing cervical cancer. When exposed to HPV, the body's immune system typically prevents the virus from harming. However, in a small percentage of people, the virus survives for years causing some cervical cells to become cancerous cells. The risk of developing cervical cancer can be reduced by having screening tests and receiving a vaccine that protects against HPV infection.

Causes of cervical cancer 

Cervical cancer begins when healthy cells in the cervix develop changes in their DNA. The accumulating abnormal cells form a tumor. Cancer cells invade nearby tissues and can brea...

While the world is going through a pandemic conundrum igniting global shutdown, sparking confinements and quarantines, cancellations and indefinite travel bans swirling around the normal lives of the masses. The chaos will soon fade away but this normalcy that we see today will not be tommorow. The chaos of Coronavirus perhaps seems to a blessing in disguise hard to see and understand.

While the fears of Coronavirus is radically initiating global lockdowns, curbing flights, transportations and productions it is also deliberately stopping us from polluting the planet and has drastically reduced carbon imprints,air polluti...

Many pandemics around the globe had taken lives of millions of people in the past. However, this pandemic, which started in late December 2019, has taken a shift from the previous ones. In the age of globalization, lives of people all over the world are interconnected which made this pandemic grow relatively at a fast pace than was ever imaginable. To this, many people are in deep shock whether how and when will this end. International researchers are putting in their effort to create a vaccine that can cure the infected ones. Meanwhile, international donor agencies are helping people worldwide by providing medicines and other relief measures. However, many are still wondering about the post-pandemic scenario and how it will shape their lives.

The corona virus also termed as COVID-19 is basically a virus that causes severe acute ...

The quality of our life depends upon the mentality of ourself. One can be happy by just having an ice cream and in other hand someone can have all possible luxuries and still be worried.. So the question is Why?? 

Love and compassion towards anything in life teaches us a lot and makes us comfortable but the life is nasty & bring up the situations where we loose happiness in those things which are around us. Our mental control can change such situations just by having two acts of life.. first is that we understand that something is worrying us. And second is the way out from that state of mind. It happens anyway its just that we can notice it to have some better control on us. 

"Where nothing stays permanent which is Life"

Sometimes when your words, motivation, grants &...

This is a very important topic that should not be taken for granted. As the saying goes… “The best time to prepare for war, is when there is peace.” It is not bad if we start preparing in advance for any future occurrence of another pandemic.

Though we are still fighting with the present Covid-19 pandemic, we can see that it is dying off and we can immediately begin to layout strategic ways, methods and approaches to combat future ones.

We do not pray for another incidence like this but we should prepare for it in case it occurs again so we can arrest it quickly than allow it to take millions of lives before we start acting.

Before I proceed it would be needful for me to define the term ‘pandemic’. A pandemic is...

Our body demands energy due to its metabolic and physiological functions. It derives power from foods and also its own macronutrients, that is, fats, and fats. Even the consumption of dietary energy from food should meet specific requirements for the achievement and upkeep of optimal health, physiological function, and wellbeing.

The energy requirement is the quantity of dietary power necessary to keep human body dimensions, body composition, and also a critical amount of physical activity in keeping with great longterm wellbeing. The power needs of this daily diet may not be thought of in isolation from different nutrition from the meals, since the lack of one can influence the many others. Consequently, power demands must be achieved by using ...

Nepal is very rich in natural water resources in the form of rivers, reservoirs, ditches, lakes, ponds, flood plains and large area of rice field. The availability of abundance of water resources gives Nepal an opportunity to exploit it resources for fish farming. Nepal shares 2.57% of world’s freshwater. Out of the total water resources, river, lakes and reservoir comprise 48.55%, irrigated paddy fields comprises 48.14%, marginal swamps comprise 1.4%, ponds comprise 1.38%, irrigation canal 0.38% and highway sides ditches 0.03% (CFPCC, 2019). Due to the different climatic condition in agro-ecological regions of Nepal, it has potential for farming of the both warm and cold water species. Fish farming has been traditionally practiced by some ethnic groups in Nepal since ancient time. Generally, certain ethni...

The competition has the aim to be accessible to all students from all countries regardless of their background, school, or institution. For that, the International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition uses today's technologies and the global con...

Just setting one foot in front of the other isn't as easy as it looks, I can't recall the last time a happy thought entered my brain, or even the memory of a smile.

When the mind is in ice, when the soul searches over wasteland with no features to hold, know that there is love in the world for you. 

This depression is like an endless river. My river is a million shades of grey, the same as old-fashioned photographs.

When there is only cold darkness and the space around your skin feels like a void, ride the river with no oars, take what comes to you and do your best. 

Don't tell me I can knock these walls down if I try, I don't want to listen anymore. 

When the walls are too thick to breac...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women after skin cancer in the United States. Chemopreventive measures such as chemotherapeutic drugs against this cancer have consequent adverse side effects but some dietary phytonutrients have been identified to play better prominent roles against this type of cancer. The aim of this work is to investigate the inhibitory roles of dietary phytonutrients against some target protein receptors of breast cancer and compare their binding energies to that of the standard breast cancer chemotherapeutic drug, Tamoxifen.

          Computational methods such as density functional theory and molecular docking studies were ...

I do not know who I am. I am flesh, bone, skin and soul. I am scar, broken heart and room abundant of darkness. I am happiness, laugh and kindness. I am everything, but I am nothing. My inner side is part of the empty scream inside of limbo. I stuck here, I was born here, may die in here. When someone asks me if I am a good or bad man, I don’t know what I should answer. What, I, should, say. This is the split between me and me.

I am the human who loves, who cares and who requires too mu...

The Association of Schools of Public Health in Africa (ASPHA) held their annual conference at Golf Course Hotel, Kampala, Uganda, 14^th – 16^th, October (2019) – during the 25^th year anniversary of the “University of Makarere”. One of the highlights of the conference was a presentation by Aderonke Akinyelure (a public health practitioner from the University of Ibadan) titled “Knowledge of Cervical Cancer and the Willingness to Uptake HPV Vaccine among Female Artisans in Ibadan North Local Govt. Area of Oyo state, Nigeria”.

The study was a cross-sectional study with 382 participants. An interviewer based questionnaire was used to illicit response from the participants such as demographic characteristics, knowledge, perception and willingness to uptake HPV vaccine. The average age of respon...

The goal of the mission was to orbit a satellite called the ‘Mangalyan’ around planet Mars. ‘Mangalyan’ was launched on November 5th, 2013 and has been orbiting planet Mars since September 4th, 2014. The mission was successful and proved to be a name-maker for ISRO in the whole world. Not only was the mission revolutionary, but a lot of people got motivation from ISRO as they accomplished the mission in their first attempt and with a budget much less than that of NASA’s Mars mission (the Mars rover one).

However, not many people know about the struggles of scientists, engineers, and technicians involved in the Mars Orbiter Mission. They had to work extra hard due to limited fundings and a then insufficient budget for a mission that grand. The real story of the Mars Orbiter Mission has now been rele...

The billion dollar modern solid state device industry that we see today, it all started back in 1901 with a Bangladeshi 42 year’s old scientist patenting the use of a crystal rectifier for detecting the radio waves. In 1894 he was the first person ever to use a crystal as a radio wave detector in his microwave experiment. He wrote in his essay Adrishya Alok (Invisible Light), “The invisible light can easily pass through brick walls, buildings etc. Therefore, messages can be transmitted by means of it without the mediation of wires.”

At the same period, in 1906 G.W. Pickard patented the thin wire pressed against crystal which is famous as the first ever radio detector solid state device named as the “Cat’s-whisker detector”. It was the first commer...

Even after all that problems are solved so yes I also added few bits of motivation to follow the problem. Atleast you can play with it for sure. Many people reach to awesome solutions & problems like Hilbert a mathematician asked once to dare solving some 16 problems in his list he published but most of them are solved now. 

Let's get aware about the awesome techs & maths equations. But do you know there are still the things unsolved mysteries yet have no clue for couple of decades & few are about or more than centuries.

Let's take for example : 

Goldbach conjecture. According to his work as a mathematician he presented his thing as - All even numbers except "2" can be written as the sum of two prime numbers. Like 4 = 2+...

Once upon a time in 2005, Nigeria was regarded as an emerging member of the Next Eleven countries, a term coined by Goldman Sachs, a leading global investment banking, securities and management firm, representing the 11 countries touted as the next economic hub of the world. Fast forward to the present age, Nigeria has become a shadow of herself being currently plagued with avalanche of anomalies- economic, political, religious, ethnic and social. How did our lofty dream of the N-11 evaporate suddenly? Did we forget that the advancement of modern economies is now knowledge-driven? Our present predicament is not unconnected with the collapse of our educational institutions which serve as a spring water for human development, a harbinger for economic development. The effect of moribund educational institutio...

2500 years ago, Sophocles, one of three ancient Greek Tragedians said, "Men are learning to become wise in aging" maybe because of this treasured wisdom that older people are worried about their memory deficits than any other age-related changes. This concern is not unreasonable, as about 7% of people over 65 have a ‘cognitive impairment’ condition and 40% of people over 85 have a major mental condition. Aging is unbearable, however, medical research shows that mental deficits can be prevented.

Increasing age can even affect the best of the brains. Learning new things takes time as new information is thoroughly processed in the brain and the details can be a lot to handle. As the names suggest, short-term memory is lost quickly, however, long-term memory stays. Of course, aged people who are health...

Technological advancements have been acclaimed as the main catalyst that accounts for the different developmental strides that are evident in our localities and the global world at large. Thus, we can say “a nation which does not acknowledge the rightfulness of its engineering scope in its various educational set up, would be of no difference from a nation lacking in its quest towards development”.

The engineering field accounts for almost all (if not all) of the various developments that we see around us: structural development, transportation, medical care, in the energy sector, software and hardware designs, fabrics, agriculture, communication and so on. These developments are evident through the different engineering field of studies, such as; Chemical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Me...

Voluntary blood donation is a great service. The great step of a blood donor can save a lot of dying life. The practice of donating blood came up as a great hand for patients of the world. But in our society there are some wrong concepts on blood donation. Removing the wrong concepts, as much the people will come forward that much the world will be benefitted. According to the rules of World Health Organization, a person with a good health is allowed for voluntary blood donation. But after meeting some conditions of blood donation, a donor can donate blood in regular interval.

Considering, the body weight of an adult person has five liters of blood in average. 500mm blood is taken in each blood donating session. Within 24 hours to 48 hours after blood donation, bone marrow produces new blood to recover the loss. The viability of...

Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that have the ability to enter the body replicating and growing causing serious diseases. Antibiotics agents interfere with specific processes that are essential for growth and/or division either for killing bacteria or at least stopping their growth. But How Drugs Interfere With Bacterial Growth And Division?

Proteins are important components in the cell to function normally, so some antibiotics inhibit the protein synthesis by inhibiting ribosomes thus stopping protein synthesis which results in bacterial death.

 Folic acid (one of B vitamins) can’t enter the bacteria, so the bacteria have to synthesize it, as it is important for the bacterial growth, by the help of a certain enzyme called dihydropteroate synthase. Antibiotics like...

History was made, in April, 2019, specifically 11^th to 13^th - Nigeria had her first national conference on adolescent health, courtesy of the Society for Adolescents and Young People`s Health in Nigeria (SAPHIN – www.sayphin.org).

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the U.S. Transportation Department which has been probing the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) approval of the 737 MAX especially its new anti-stall control system known as MCAS (Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System) has warned two FAA offices to safeguard computer files. 

The Seattle Times also reported that Boeing’s original 737 MAX safety analysis of MCAS that was used by FAA to certify the aircraft had fundamental flaws. According to the report, the system had too much power and lacked redundancy. The situation may have been compounded by FAA rules that permit aircraft manufacturers to self-certify. 

Seattle Times spoke to current and former engineers on condition of anonymity about the...
