Access to colposcopy services for high-risk Canadian women: can we do better?
Lower socio-economic status and immigrant women receiving care from a CHC-based colposcopy program had a significant decrease in their no-show rate for colposcopic evaluation after the introduction of the on-site program. Consideration must be given to locating diagnostic colposcopy programs in settings more accessible to women who require these services the most.
This study is of importance in cell biology. Indeed, the rarity (or lack of expression) of specific 5-mer peptide modules implies the rarity (or lack of expression) of the corresponding n-mer peptide sequences (with n < 5), so possibly modulating protein compositional trends. Moreover the data might further our understanding of the role exerted by rare pentapeptide modules as critical biological effectors in protein-protein interactions.
