Abstract
Anticancer Peptides (ACPs) offer significant potential as cancer treatment drugs in this modern era. Quickly identifying active compounds from protein sequences is crucial for healthcare and cancer treatment. In this paper ANNprob-ACPs, a novel and effective model for detecting ACPs has been implemented based on nine feature encoding techniques, including AAC, CC, W2V, DPC, PAAC, QSO, CTDC, CTDT, and CKSAAGP. After analyzing the performance of several machine learning models, the six best models were selected based on their overall performances in every evaluation metric. The probability scores of each model were subsequently aggregated and used as input of our meta- model, called ANNprob-ACPs. Our model outperformed all others and its potential to lead to phenomenal identification of ACPs. The results of this study showed notable improvement in 10-fold cross-validation and independent test, with accuracy of 93.72% and 90.62%, respectively. Our proposed model, ANNprob-ACPs outperformed existing approaches in terms of accuracy and effectiveness in discovering ACPs. By using SHAP, this study obtained the physicochemical properties of QSO, and compositional properties of DPC, AAC, and PAAC are more impactful for our model's performances, which have a major impact on a drug's interactions and future discoveries. Consequently, this model is crucial for the future and has a high probability of detecting ACPs more frequently. We developed a web server of ANNprob-ACPs, which is accessible at ANNprob-ACPs webserver.

Abstract
Uterine inversion occurs in puerperal and non-puerperal conditions; non-puerperal uterine inversion (NPUI) may run acute and chronic clinical course. Most on the NPUI are chronic variety while a few are acute variety. NPUI occurs if there is long standing big sub-mucosal fibroid and it is very rare to present in acute setting. Here we report a case of acutely presented NPUI. A 58-year-old widow of lower socioeconomic status presenting to the emergency center of Chittagong medical college Hospital with complaints of sudden protrusion of a big mass through introitus in an attempt of passing out hard stool during defecation on the day of admission with a history of per vaginal watery discharge for a long time and severe anemia. Anemia was corrected and a broad-spectrum antibiotic was given prior to operative management. Under general anesthesia vaginal myomectomy followed by vaginal hysterectomy was performed in the same sitting. Pathological examination revealed a fibroid uterus. Postoperatively patient recovered without any residual problem. Infection should be suspected and treated with appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics before planning surgery. Vaginal route restoration of NPUI is very difficult but possible with careful attempt. During a vaginal hysterectomy, care to locate and salvage the bladder and distal urinary collecting system is warranted. So, a high index of suspicion is the key to limit morbidity and approach for proper management of such rare clinical condition.

'Flower of the body': menstrual experiences and needs of young adolescent women with cerebral palsy in Bangladesh, and their mothers providing menstrual support. BMC Womens Health 2020; 20:160.

Abstract
Background This study offers voice to young adolescent women with cerebral palsy (CP) in Bangladesh as they describe their menstrual experiences and needs, and their mothers providing menstrual support. Method Semi-structured focus groups with adolescents with CP, and separately their mother. Data was analysed using a material discursive framework and drawing on feminist disability theory. Participants were recruited from the Bangladesh CP Register (BCPR); a population-based surveillance of children and adolescents with CP in rural Bangladesh. Results Participants were 45 women including 12 female adolescents with CP and 33 female caregivers. Participants reported a wide range of experiences and needs; menarche acted as a gateway to menstrual information although for some a discourse of silence prevailed due to exclusion from peer and familial networks. Menstruation was discursively constructed as a sign of ‘female maturation’ marked by an expectation of ‘independence’, required for acceptance into socially valued adult roles, and was positioned alongside increased vulnerability to sexual abuse. Young adolescent women with CP were expected to ‘quietly endure’ the material aspects of menstruation although unmanaged pain and distress were described. Mothers reported an imperative for meeting their adolescent’s menstrual needs however this role was discursively positioned as ‘painful’, ‘irritating’ and ‘shameful’, in part due to an absence of affordable, functional menstrual resources. Conclusion The findings of the present study provide motivation for disability services in Bangladesh to account for the menstrual needs of young adolescent women with CP within service delivery through strategies such as providing menstrual education and by embedding value in constructs such as ‘interdependence’. Moreover, interventions focused on alleviating menstrual pain among young adolescent women with CP as well as those targeted to alleviate distress among mothers providing menstrual care are required. Finally, policy responses are required to ensure that ‘inclusive development’ considers the needs of menstruating women with disability.
