Algorithm development to improve intervention effectiveness for parents with mental health signs and symptoms.

Objectives: In this study we aimed to describe and compare groups formed by a rules-based algorithm to prospectively identify clients at risk of poor outcomes in order to guide tailored public health nursing (PHN) intervention approaches.

Design: Data-driven methods using standardized Omaha System PHN documentation.

Sample: Clients ages 13-40 who received PHN home visiting services for both the Caretaking/parenting and Mental health problems (N = 4109).

Utility of BerEp4/calretinin and desmin/epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) dual immunocytochemical staining in effusion cytology.

Background: Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is typically diagnosed late during the disease. Earlier detection can increase the chance of effective therapy. Recurrent pleural effusions are the earliest symptoms displaying an array of cytomorphological changes from reactive atypia to malignancy.

Atypical glandular cells and development of cervical cancer: Population-based cohort study.

The effect of cervical screening on cervical adenocarcinoma has been variable, possibly because the risk associated with the precursor atypical glandular cells (AGC) is not well known. A cohort of all 885 women in the capital region of Sweden with AGC, a concomitant human papillomavirus (HPV) analysis, and a histopathology was followed until 2019. Cumulative incidence proportions of cervical intraepithelial lesion grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) by HPV type was determined by 1-Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Utility of the Extracellular Vesicles Subpopulations Present in Pleural Effusion.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), comprising exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, are released by all cells into the extracellular matrix and body fluids, where they play important roles in intercellular communication and matrix remodeling in various pathological conditions. Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a primary tumor of mesothelial origin, predominantly related to asbestos exposure. The detection of MPM at an early stage and distinguishing it from benign conditions and metastatic adenocarcinomas (AD) is sometimes challenging.

Audit of laboratory sensitivity of human papillomavirus and cytology testing in a cervical screening program.

The globally recommended public health policy for cervical screening is primary human papillomavirus (HPV) screening with cytology triaging of positives. To ensure optimal quality of laboratory services we have conducted regular audits of cervical smears taken before cervical cancer or cancer in situ (CIN3+) within an HPV-based screening program. The central cervical screening laboratory of Stockholm, Sweden, identified cases of CIN3+ who had had a previous cervical screening test up to 3 years before and randomly selected 300 cervical liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples for auditing.
