High rate of persistent HPV detection after diagnostic cervical excision in older screen-positive women.

Introduction: Diagnostic work-up of older women with a positive cervical cancer screening test is often challenging due to incomplete visualization of the transformation zone. To reduce the risk of missing disease, a diagnostic cervical excision may be performed. However, little is known on treatment efficacy and post-treatment surveillance for older women.

Non-HFE Hemochromatosis in the Context of β-Thalassemia Trait: A Case Study on Iron Overload Dysregulation.

Thalassemia and hemochromatosis are two distinct conditions that involve dysregulation of iron metabolism, though their origin, clinical presentations, and treatments differ. This case represents a patient with incidentally discovered microcytic anemia due to β-thalassemia trait and non- hemochromatosis. It discusses the potential synergistic effect of these two diseases on iron overload and highlights the need for further testing to determine hereditary versus secondary causes of hemochromatosis.

Assessment of a colposcopic scoring system (Swedescore) to reduce the number of cervical biopsies: a protocol for a clinical multicentre non-randomised intervention study in Denmark.

Introduction: Colposcopy is a standard procedure for evaluating cervical abnormalities and collecting cervical biopsies. The procedure is associated with intra- and inter-observer variation. A colposcopic scoring system, Swedescore, has been designed to standardise and facilitate colposcopy training.
