There’s an interesting article in Computerworld which reports on work of a team of German researchers who have used a 3D printer from Nanoscribe GmbH to create nano-scale micro structures out of ceramic and polymer which mimic the kinds of honeycomb-like structures found in nature (such as in bone and wood).

The researchers have found that using a laser-powered stereolithography technique they can create micro trusses and shells that prove to be as strong as steel. So far, these researchers have only been able to print items on the micro-meter scale, but hope to be able to someday use this technique to create super-strong materials that can be used in a practical way.

Computational object recognition: a biologically motivated approach.
We propose a conceptual framework for artificial object recognition systems based on findings from neurophysiological and neuropsychological research on the visual system in primate cortex. We identify some essential questions, which have to be addressed in the course of designing object recognition systems. As answers, we review some major aspects of biological object recognition, which are then translated into the technical field of computer vision. The key suggestions are the use of incremental and view-based approaches together with the ability of online feature selection and the interconnection of object-views to form an overall object representation. The effectiveness of the computational approach is estimated by testing a possible realization in various tasks and conditions explicitly designed to allow for a direct comparison with the biological counterpart. The results exhibit excellent performance with regard to recognition accuracy, the creation of sparse models and the selection of appropriate features.

The present invention relates to storage of data in holographic media. In particular, the present invention relates to storage of holographic data in a card format.
Holography is a familiar technology for displaying three dimensional images. Basically, two coherent light beams are caused to intersect in a holographic medium. An interference pattern or grating pattern results that is unique to the two beams and which is written into the medium. This grating pattern is referred to as the hologram and has the property that if it is illuminated by either of the beams used for recording, the illuminating beam diffracts in the direction of the second writing beam. To an observer, it appears as if the source of the second beam is still present at an observation plane.
However, holograms are becoming more common for use in other types of applications such as security and data storage. In data storage applications, as is well understood by those skilled in the art, a page of data is used as a source image and a detector array is placed at the observation plane. Additionally, due to Bragg effects, many holograms may be multiplexed within the same volume of holographic material by slightly changing the angle of the reference beam with each different data page. Large numbers of holograms can be multiplexed this way in a small volume of recording material, providing high data storage potential. A complete discussion of storage holograms can be found, for example, in John R. Vacca, Holograms and Holography Design, Techniques, and Commercial Applications, Charles River Media, Inc., 2001 (xe2x80x9cVaccaxe2x80x9d). Generally, data stored in holographic media is only machine readable.
With respect to security applications, it is well known to include holograms on credit cards to prevent duplication of these items. A hologram is useful in this context because of the relative difficulty involved in counterfeiting a hologram as compared to printed designs, embossed features and even photographs. However, security holograms used on credit cards are generally embossed only on the surface of the card. As such, while holograms in general are relatively difficult to duplicate, a hologram on the surface of a card can be somewhat easier to duplicate or alter.
One potential solution to the problems associated with relative ease of duplication of surface holograms is offered in U.S. Pat. No. 6,005,691 for xe2x80x9cHigh-Security Machine-Readable Holographic Cardxe2x80x9d to Grot et al. Grot et al. discloses a hologram card which includes a first plastic material formed to include localized topological features constituting a diffractive optical element. The diffractive optical element is structured to generate a hologram image. The hologram card also includes a protective layer which is chemically bonded to and directly contacts the topological features constituting the diffractive optical element. While the hologram card of Grot et al. includes a protective layer to make any hologram included in the diffractive element more difficult to duplicate, the card includes only a surface hologram, which holds a relatively small amount of information. That is, the hologram card disclosed in Grot et al. is relatively inefficient.
Additionally, while credit cards, and drivers licenses and identification cards, can typically store some information in a magnetic stripe often included with such cards, the amount of information such magnetic stripes can store can be relatively low.
An apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a multi-layer holographic card having a section containing holographic machine readable data as well as security and/or presentation information which may be either machine or human readable and may also be holographic. Such a holographic card can advantageously store a relatively large amount of data in holographic format. Further by providing a protective layer over a holographic layer, a holographic card in accordance with the present invention can advantageously provide increased security for data.
In particular, a holographic card for storing data in holographic format in accordance with the present invention includes a holographic layer for containing holographic information and a transparent protective layer overlaying the holographic layer. A typical card is formed by sandwiching the holographic layer between two protective layers or substrates. The holographic layer includes at least a first data section for containing machine readable holographic data. The card also includes a second data section containing either or both presentation or security data. The second data section is preferably included in the holographic layer, but can also be separate therefrom, particularly when non-holographic data is contained therein.

Lesson: Holography and Data Storage

Introduction:
Holography is a technology that allows us to store and display three-dimensional images. It works by recording an interference pattern or grating pattern in a holographic medium, which can then be used to create a 3D image. In recent years, holography has been adapted for use in data storage applications, where a page of data is used as a source image and a detector array is placed at the observation plane.

Section 1: Basic Principles of Holography

1. What is holography?
Holography is a technology that allows us to store and display three-dimensional images. It works by recording an interference pattern or grating pattern in a holographic medium, which can then be used to create a 3D image.

2. How does holography work?
Holography works by causing two coherent light beams to intersect in a holographic medium. An interference pattern or grating pattern results that is unique to the two beams and which is written into the medium. This grating pattern is referred to as the hologram and has the property that if it is illuminated by either of the beams used for recording, the illuminating beam diffracts in the direction of the second writing beam.

3. What is the difference between a hologram and a regular photograph?
A hologram is a three-dimensional image, while a regular photograph is a two-dimensional image. A hologram can be viewed from any angle, while a photograph can only be viewed from one angle.

Section 2: Applications of Holography in Data Storage

4. What are some applications of holography in data storage?
Holography can be used in data storage applications to store large amounts of information in a small amount of space. One example is optical discs, such as CDs and DVDs, which use holography to store data on a surface. Another example is holographic memory, which uses holography to store data in a three-dimensional volume.

5. How does holography improve data storage capacity?
Holography can improve data storage capacity by allowing multiple holograms to be stored within the same volume of holographic material. This is possible because of Bragg effects, which cause the different holograms to interact with each other and occupy different regions of the volume.

6. What are some challenges associated with using holography in data storage?
One challenge associated with using holography in data storage is the need for high-quality lasers and detectors. Another challenge is the difficulty of retrieving the information stored in a hologram, since it must be illuminated with the correct wavelength of light.

Section 3: Future Applications of Holography in Data Storage

7. What are some potential future applications of holography in data storage?
Some potential future applications of holography in data storage include holographic data storage in cards, which could be used for secure credit card transactions, and holographic data storage in hard drives, which could increase the storage capacity of computers and other electronic devices.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, holography is a technology that has many potential applications in data storage. By using holography, it is possible to store large amounts of information in a small amount of space, and to retrieve the information using a variety of techniques. As research and development in this field continue, we can expect to see even more exciting applications of holography in data storage in the future.

Lesson Title: Continence Problems in Children

Introduction:
Continence problems are common in children. These problems can range from bedwetting (enuresis) to daytime wetting or soiling (overflow). In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of continence problems in children, their causes, and how to manage them.

Section 1: Types of Continence Problems in Children
- Bedwetting (enuresis): This is when a child wets the bed during sleep. It is common in young children, but can persist into adolescence.
- Daytime wetting or soiling (overflow): This is when a child wets or soils their clothes during the day. It can be caused by constipation, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions.

Section 2: Causes of Continence Problems in Children
- Constipation: When stool accumulates in the rectum, it can cause pressure on the bladder, leading to bedwetting or soiling.
- Urinary tract infections: These can cause frequent urination, urgency, and pain, leading to daytime wetting or soiling.
- Immature nervous system: Some children may have an immature nervous system that prevents them from feeling the need to urinate or defecate.
- Psychological issues: Stress, anxiety, or trauma can cause some children to regress and start bedwetting or soiling.

Section 3: Management of Continence Problems in Children
- Diet: A high-fiber diet and plenty of water can help prevent constipation, which is a common cause of continence problems.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity can help strengthen the muscles in the pelvis and improve bladder control.
- Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to treat urinary tract infections or constipation.
- Behavioral therapy: This can help children develop better bladder and bowel habits, as well as address any psychological issues that may be contributing to the problem.

Conclusion:
Continence problems in children can be frustrating and embarrassing for both the child and their family. However, with proper management and support, most children can overcome these issues and achieve continence. By understanding the different types of continence problems, their causes, and how to manage them, parents and caregivers can help their children develop healthy bladder and bowel habits and avoid future problems.

Lesson: Introduction to Web Design and Development

**Objective:** To introduce students to the basics of web design and development, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

**Section 1: Introduction to Web Design and Development**

Web design and development involves creating and maintaining websites. This includes designing the layout, color scheme, and overall appearance of a website, as well as writing code to make it functional and interactive. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of web design and development, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

**Section 2: HTML**

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the foundation of every website. It is used to structure and organize the content of a webpage. HTML consists of tags that define different types of content, such as headings, paragraphs, and lists. Here's an example of HTML code:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
	<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
	<p>This is my first webpage.</p>
</body>
</html>
```

**Section 3: CSS**

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style and design a webpage. It allows you to change the color, font, layout, and other aspects of a webpage. CSS can be used to create a consistent look and feel across multiple pages. Here's an example of CSS code:

```css
body {
	font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
	background-color: #f2f2f2;
}
h1 {
	color: #333;
	font-size: 2em;
	margin-top: 0;
}
p {
	font-size: 1em;
	margin-top: 20px;
}
```

**Section 4: JavaScript**

JavaScript is a programming language that allows you to add interactivity to a webpage. It can be used to create animations, pop-ups, and other effects. JavaScript code is usually added to HTML pages using `<script>` tags. Here's an example of JavaScript code:

```javascript
<script>
function sayHello() {
	alert("Hello, World!");
}
</script>
```

**Section 5: Practical Examples**

Let's apply what we've learned so far by creating a simple webpage. We'll use HTML to structure the content, CSS to style it, and JavaScript to add interactivity.

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>My First Webpage</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
	<header>
		<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>

text: [TOASTMASTER] Shigezo is a merry place, the kind of restaurant where toasts spill across aisles. Thickly hewn wooden beams—some as massive as oak trunks—divide the dining room into the sorts of cozy alcoves where the tipsy businessmen in Kurosawa's Ikiru might have forgotten their cares, except with Blazers games on the TV sets above the sushi bar. It is unassuming and inexpensive for the Park Blocks: For $15, you can get a great meal, and for $30, you can wobble out the door not needing to eat again until the next night. Since the restaurant is the first continental U.S. outpost of a Japanese chain, few items on the menu are a departure from the basic fare found in suburban Tokyo noodle shops; nearly everything is an outrageous success. The standout of the daunting appetizer menu (the place is designed for drinking Kirin with nibbles) is the gyoza, three cabbage-and-pork-filled dumplings that present a delectable conundrum: You'll want to keep sampling the thin, pan-fried crust before it has cooled enough to eat without risk of scalding. The okonomiyaki, an egg pancake filled with pork, squid and green onions, combines a lot of strong flavors into a griddle-seared blend, like a teriyaki seafood omelet. The entrees aren't so wide-ranging, and don't need to be. The katsu curry, a standard fast-food order in Japan, is both massively portioned and embarrassingly delicious, the distinctively sweet stew topped with a panko-breaded chicken cutlet and heaped with potatoes and carrots. (There's a vegetarian version as well.) Only one item betters it: the tonkotsu shoyu ramen, with housemade noodles, a pork-marrow and soy broth, and a slice of chashu barbecued pork flank so tender it melts apart at the touch of a plastic soup spoon. The ramen is both homestyle and decadent, like living in a log cabin freshly built from endangered redwoods. The genius of Shigezo is not that it does something new—it's how sublimely skilled it is at resurrecting the old. AARON MESH.

Lesson: Flotation Properties of Copper Minerals and Associated Sulfides

## Introduction
Flotation is a process used to separate valuable minerals from waste material in a sample. In this lesson, we will learn about the flotation properties of individual copper minerals and associated sulfides from natural ores. We will also explore how these properties differ significantly and how they can be used to improve the efficiency of the flotation process.

## Section 1: Flotation Properties of Copper Minerals and Associated Sulfides

### Topic 1: Mineralogy of the Ore
The mineralogy of the ore plays a crucial role in determining the flotation properties of copper minerals and associated sulfides. Different types of copper minerals, such as chalcopyrite, bornite, and chrysocolla, have different surface properties that affect their flotation behavior. Similarly, the presence of other minerals, such as quartz, calcite, and pyrite, can also impact the flotation process.

### Topic 2: Crystal Structure Variation
The crystal structure of copper minerals and associated sulfides can vary significantly, leading to differences in their flotation properties. For example, the crystal structure of chalcopyrite may change from tetragonal to orthorhombic depending on the temperature and pressure conditions. This variation can affect the surface properties of the mineral, which in turn influences its flotation behavior.

### Topic 3: Other Factors Affecting Flotation Properties
Other factors, such as the presence of impurities, the degree of liberation of the minerals, and the particle size distribution of the sample, can also impact the flotation properties of copper minerals and associated sulfides. For example, the presence of iron oxides can lead to the formation of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the minerals, which can enhance their flotation.

## Section 2: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios

### Topic 4: Mathematical Abstractions
Mathematical abstractions can be used to model the flotation process and predict the behavior of copper minerals and associated sulfides. For example, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm can be used to describe the interaction between the minerals and the collector molecules used in the flotation process. Similarly, the mass balance equations can be used to calculate the recovery of valuable minerals during the flotation process.

### Topic 5: Real-World Scenarios
Real-world scenarios can also help us understand the flotation properties of copper minerals and associated sulfides. For example, the flotation behavior of chalcopyrite can be affected by the presence of other minerals, such as pyrite, which can form a gangue mineral. Similarly, the flotation properties of bornite can be influenced by the presence of quartz, which can act as a depressant or an activator depending on the specific conditions of the flotation process.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

### Topic 6: Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is an essential skill in understanding the flotation properties of copper minerals and associated sulfides. By analyzing the data and considering different factors, such as the mineralogy of the ore, the crystal structure variation, and the presence of impurities, we can develop a better understanding of the flotation process and identify ways to improve its efficiency.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, understanding the flotation properties of copper minerals and associated sulfides is crucial for optimizing the flotation process and improving the recovery of valuable minerals. By considering factors such as mineralogy, crystal structure variation, and other factors affecting flotation properties, we can develop a deeper understanding of the process and apply our knowledge to new problems.

Clinical Importance of Salmonella Paratyphi A Infection to Enteric Fever in Nepal.
Background: Enteric fever in Nepal is caused by infection with Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi A. The clinical presentation of these two illnesses has never been compared in a population of travelers and expatriates. If the illnesses are clinically comparable, and if S. paratyphi A infection is sufficiently common, the choice of typhoid vaccine for Nepal may have to take into account the vaccine's efficacy in preventing infection with S. paratyphi A. Methods: NonNepalese patients presenting to the CIWEC Clinic with a history of 3 days of fever or greater were considered eligible for the study. Patients with positive blood or stool cultures for S. typhi or S. paratyphi A were entered into the study (along with three patients who had positive Widal titers only). A questionnaire was administered by a physician to determine signs and symptoms. Treatment with oral chloramphenicol was openly compared to treatment with oral ciprofloxacin. Results: Forty-five cases of enteric fever were diagnosed during the 2 years of the study. Infection with S. typhi accounted for 20 cases, and S. paratyphi A was isolated in 22 cases. The illnesses were clinically indistinguishable. Treatment with chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin was clinically comparable. Conclusions: Infection with S. paratyphi A accounts for a significant percentage of enteric fever presentations among tourists in Nepal, and the illness is comparable to infection with S. typhi. Therefore, the choice of typhoid vaccine for long-term travelers or expatriates in Nepal should take into account the vaccine's potential ability to also prevent S. paratyphi A infection. The only typhoid vaccine that can currently offer this type of cross protection is the whole-cell killed preparation.

Lesson: Introduction to Salmonella Paratyphi A Infection and Enteric Fever in Nepal

**Objective:** To understand the clinical importance of Salmonella Paratyphi A infection in relation to Enteric Fever in Nepal.

**Overview:** Salmonella Paratyphi A is a bacterium that causes enteric fever, which is a common illness in Nepal. Enteric fever is caused by infection with Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi A. This lesson will discuss the clinical presentation of these two illnesses and their differences, as well as the importance of Salmonella Paratyphi A infection in Nepal.

**Section 1: Introduction to Enteric Fever and Salmonella Paratyphi A**

Enteric fever is an illness caused by bacteria called Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi A. These bacteria are commonly found in contaminated food, water, or soil. Enteric fever is a common illness in Nepal, affecting many people each year.

Salmonella Paratyphi A is a type of bacteria that causes enteric fever. It is similar to Salmonella typhi, but there are some differences in the way it affects people. For example, Salmonella Paratyphi A can cause more severe diarrhea than Salmonella typhi.

**Section 2: Clinical Presentation of Enteric Fever**

Enteric fever usually starts with a sudden onset of fever, headache, and muscle pain. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms usually last for 2-4 weeks.

In Nepal, enteric fever is caused mainly by Salmonella typhi. The clinical presentation of Salmonella typhi infection is similar to that of Salmonella paratyphi A infection. However, some studies have shown that Salmonella paratyphi A infection may cause more severe diarrhea than Salmonella typhi infection.

**Section 3: Importance of Salmonella Paratyphi A Infection in Nepal**

In Nepal, Salmonella Paratyphi A infection is less common than Salmonella typhi infection. However, it is still important to recognize the clinical differences between the two types of infection.

The choice of typhoid vaccine for Nepal may have to take into account the vaccine's efficacy in preventing infection with Salmonella paratyphi A. If the illnesses are clinically comparable and if Salmonella paratyphi A infection is sufficiently common, then the choice of vaccine may be more important in preventing infection with this type of bacteria.

**Conclusion:** In conclusion, understanding the clinical importance of Salmonella Paratyphi A infection in relation to Enteric Fever in Nepal is essential for public health officials, medical professionals, and individuals living in Nepal. Recognizing the differences in the clinical presentation of these two illnesses and the importance of Salmonella Paratyphi A infection in Nepal can help in preventing and treating this common illness effectively.

text: This is a handy tool for my art and I appreciate the ability that Scrapbook.com has given me by making it available.. These are just so handy I love it and it works so well:). Great Product. I'm struggling to be successful with this little wonderful idea. With practice, I have managed to stamp without stamping the borders.. However, when I start to roll the stamper, even following a penciled line, it seems that the stamper takes on a mind of its own and rolls a curved line. Maybe I need to go slower? Maybe, I need to exert more pressure on the stamper? For now, I am disappointed in a wonderful idea.

Lesson: How to Use a Stamp Maker

Introduction:
A stamp maker is a handy tool that can be used to create designs on various surfaces such as paper, fabric, and even skin. In this lesson, we will learn how to use a stamp maker effectively.

Section 1: Understanding the Basics

Topic 1: What is a stamp maker?
A stamp maker is a device that allows you to create designs on various surfaces by transferring ink from the device to the surface. It can be used to create patterns, images, and text.

Topic 2: Types of stamp makers
There are two types of stamp makers: manual and electronic. Manual stamp makers require you to press down on the device to transfer ink, while electronic stamp makers use a motor to do the pressing for you.

Topic 3: Materials needed
To use a stamp maker, you will need the following materials:
- A stamp maker
- Ink pads (different colors if desired)
- A surface to stamp on (such as paper or fabric)

Section 2: Using the Stamp Maker

Topic 1: Preparing the stamp maker
Before using the stamp maker, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for preparation. This may include loading the ink pad and adjusting the pressure.

Topic 2: Placing the design
Once the stamp maker is prepared, place the design on the surface you wish to stamp. You can use a pencil to sketch out the design beforehand if desired.

Topic 3: Applying pressure
Apply even pressure to the stamp maker as you press down on the design. If using an electronic stamp maker, ensure that the pressure is set correctly.

Topic 4: Removing the stamp
After the design has been transferred to the surface, gently remove the stamp maker while holding onto the handle. This will prevent smudging of the design.

Section 3: Advanced Techniques

Topic 1: Stamping on curves
If you want to stamp a design on a curved surface, such as a circle, you can use a technique called "stamping off-center." Place the stamp maker slightly off-center from the desired location and press down firmly.

Topic 2: Stamping on uneven surfaces
If you want to stamp on an uneven surface, such as fabric, you can use a technique called "stamping with a template." Cut a piece of paper slightly larger than the stamp maker and place it underneath the stamp maker before applying pressure.

Topic 3: Stamping on skin
If you want to stamp a design on someone's skin, such as a tattoo, you should only do so with a professional-grade stamp maker and ink. Always follow safety precautions and consult with a professional before attempting this technique.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, using a stamp maker is a fun and creative activity that can be used for a variety of projects. By following the basics and advanced techniques outlined in this lesson, you can effectively use a stamp maker to create beautiful designs on various surfaces.

Long-term compliance with follow-up after treatment for cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia.
To assess the level of compliance with follow-up over time after treatment for preinvasive and Stage Ia1 lesions of the cervix. To compare the average interval between visits with the interval prescribed by protocol and to evaluate the use of this difference as a measure of compliance. Retrospective observational study. Setting. London university hospital. Women who received treatment for preinvasive (CINI-III, AIS) or Stage Ia1 cervical lesions. Attendance data were obtained from hospital-based colposcopy and community-based databases. The average interval between the appointments attended by each woman was compared with the planned interval between visits. The time that elapsed since the previous appointment attended was calculated for each visit and correlated with the time since treatment. 1013 women attended 4128 follow-up visits in the colposcopy clinic and in the community. Twenty-two (2.2%) women never attended any post-treatment appointment and 209 (21.0%) of the 991 women who attended at least once, did so on average more than 12 months later than specified by the follow-up protocol. There was a highly significant correlation between the interval since the previous appointment and the time since treatment (Kendall's tau b = 0.529614, two-sided p < 0.0001), showing that compliance deteriorates with increasing time since treatment. Comparing the average interval between attendances with the planned interval prescribed by protocol is a sensitive measure of compliance. Compliance with follow-up deteriorates significantly with time since treatment. This decline in compliance may contribute to the increased risk of invasive disease after treatment.

Lesson: How to Measure Compliance with Follow-up After Cervical Treatment
Introduction:
Compliance with follow-up after treatment for cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia is an important factor in determining the success of the treatment. In this lesson, we will learn how to measure compliance with follow-up after cervical treatment using a retrospective observational study.
Objectives:
- To assess the level of compliance with follow-up over time after treatment for preinvasive and Stage Ia1 lesions of the cervix.
- To compare the average interval between visits with the interval prescribed by protocol.
- To evaluate the use of this difference as a measure of compliance.
Materials:
- Data on attendance from hospital-based colposcopy and community-based databases.
- Calculator or computer program to calculate the time elapsed since the previous appointment attended.
Procedure:
1. Obtain attendance data from hospital-based colposcopy and community-based databases for women who received treatment for preinvasive (CINI-III, AIS) or Stage Ia1 cervical lesions.
2. Calculate the average interval between the appointments attended by each woman and compare it with the planned interval between visits.
3. Calculate the time that elapsed since the previous appointment attended for each visit and correlate it with the time since treatment.
4. Evaluate the use of the difference between the planned and actual intervals as a measure of compliance.
5. Analyze the results and draw conclusions about the level of compliance with follow-up after cervical treatment.
Conclusion:
Measuring compliance with follow-up after cervical treatment is an important aspect of evaluating the success of the treatment. By comparing the average interval between visits with the interval prescribed by protocol and evaluating the use of this difference as a measure of compliance, we can gain valuable insights into the level of compliance with follow-up after cervical treatment. This information can be used to improve patient care and ensure that patients receive the appropriate follow-up care after cervical treatment.
