Intuitive Falls Short of Expectations in 1Q19

Earnings grew 7% but decelerated from 20% growth in the fourth quarter. The earnings also lagged the consensus of analysts polled by analysts for $2.70.

Eritrea: Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Program Implementation in Eritrea
[WHO] Cervical cancer occurs when the cells of the cervix grow abnormally and invade other tissues and organs of the body. When it is invasive, this cancer affects the deeper tissues of the cervix and may have spread to other parts of the body. Cervical cancer is caused through acquisition of HPV virus (Human Papillomavirus) when a woman is sexually active and the virus has been acquired. Some women then develop pre cancer lesions but in about 66% to 70% of these women, the body normally clears it away. However, (Source: AllAfrica News: Health and Medicine)

Evidence for hormonal control of heart regenerative capacity during endothermy acquisition
Tissue regenerative potential displays striking divergence across phylogeny and ontogeny, but the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. Loss of mammalian cardiac regenerative potential correlates with cardiomyocyte cell-cycle arrest and polyploidization as well as the development of postnatal endothermy. We reveal that diploid cardiomyocyte abundance across 41 species conforms to Kleiber’s law—the 3/4-power law scaling of metabolism with bodyweight—and inversely correlates with standard metabolic rate, body temperature, and serum thyroxine level. Inactivation of thyroid hormone signaling reduces mouse c...
