Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the diagnostic challenges of colposcopy in women aged 50 and older, particularly those with postmenopausal status and transformation zone type 3 (TZ3), highlighting the role of endocervical curettage (ECC) in diagnosing cervical lesions.
- By analyzing data from colposcopies performed at Erlangen University Hospital between 2016 and 2023, researchers correlated Pap and HPV results with histologic findings from ECC.
- The findings reveal that ECC can effectively detect significant lesions, including high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive carcinoma, even in patients with normal colposcopic results, underscoring its importance in diagnostic procedures.
Background/aim: The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in disruptions to healthcare systems throughout the world. The numbers of cytology examinations, human papillomavirus (HPV) tests, and women referred for colposcopy decreased in many countries. There have been no reports on cervical cancer screening in Germany.

Here, 96 urban German children (5-8 years; 48 girls; predominantly White; from mid-to-high socioeconomic backgrounds) participated in an empathy intervention or a control condition before prosocial behaviors (polite lie-telling: rating the drawing as ; prosocial encouragement: utterances interpreted as cheering up the artist) were assessed in an art-rating task. Contrasting children's empathy at baseline with their empathy after the intervention indicated promoted empathy compared to the control group.
