HPV Screening as an Alternative to Pap Smear in Cervical Cancer Prevention: A Comparative Study in North India
Abstract: Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among Indian women, especially in low-resource settings. While Pap smear testing has been the standard screening method, HPV DNA testing offers potential advantages in sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility for large-scale implementation. This study compares the efficacy, cost, and acceptability of HPV screening versus Pap smears in urban and rural populations of North India. A comparative cohort study was conducted …

ML-Enhanced Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites with Embedded IoT Sensors for Damage Prediction
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used in aerospace and structural systems; nevertheless, the potential for microcracking and fatigue-induced performance degradation remains an obstacle with respect to improved service life. Traditional self-healing methods, while performing well on a chemical level, often lack real-time diagnostic awareness and adaptive control. To circumvent this, we developed a machine-learning augmented self-healing FRP composite, in which a DCPD–Grubbs catalytic matrix was combined with IoT sensor …
