Maternal and Clinical Outcomes of Placenta Accreta Spectrum: Insights from a Retrospective Study in Bahrain by Kareeza Selby Chacko, Reem Satam AlSubeaei, Soumya Sunil Nair, Nusrat Khalil Kazi, Rafiea Jeddy

“…Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to a group of abnormal placental attachments in which the placenta adheres too deeply to the uterine wall, with varying degrees of invasion classified as accreta, increta, or percreta. Increased rates of uterine surgeries, advanced maternal age, and cesarean deliveries have all contributed to an increase in the incidence of PAS. …”

Oral cancer in Libya and development of regional oral cancer registries: A review by E. BenNasir, M. El Mistiri, R. McGowan, R.V. Katz

“…The aims of this paper are three-fold: (1) to summarize the current epidemiological data on oral cancer in Libya as reported in the published literature and as compared to other national oral cancer rates in the region; (2) to present both the history of the early development, and future goals, of population-based oral cancer tumor registries in Libya as they partner with the more established regional and international population-based cancer tumor registries; and, (3) to offer recommendations that will likely be required in the near future if these nascent, population-based Libyan oral cancer registries are to establish themselves as on-going registries for describing the oral cancer disease patterns and risk factors in Libya as well as for prevention and treatment. …”

A Comprehensive Method for Anomaly Detection in Complex Dynamic IoT Systems by Andrii Liashenko, Larysa Globa

“…Conventional methods – like clustering, statistical thresholds, and classical time series analysis – often fail to account for the spatial-temporal dependencies inherent in these systems, leading to high false positive rates or missed complex anomalies. In this paper, we propose a novel anomaly detection approach that combines Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNN) with Autoencoders. …”
