Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the effectiveness of different devices (curette, brush, and a combination of both) in collecting samples during endocervical curettage (ECC) following inadequate colposcopy or abnormal Pap results.
- - A total of 300 women participated, with results showing that the curette and combined methods produced more adequate samples than the brush alone, but all methods were equally effective in detecting cervical precancer (CIN2+).
- - The findings suggested that while curette and combination methods are more efficient in sample collection, factors like age and parity did not significantly impact the sample quality or the ability to detect CIN2+.
Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. It is a major public health problem in developing countries. Effective cervical cancer screening requires that women adhere to the screening program.

- - Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death among women globally, making early screening for its precursors, particularly Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN), crucial for improving survival rates.
- - Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is a common method for detecting cervical lesions but relies heavily on the subjective assessment of health workers, which can vary in quality.
- - A new deep learning algorithm called Automated Visual Evaluation (AVE) can analyze cervigrams more accurately than human experts and, when combined with image quality assessment tools, has shown promising results on low-end smartphones for efficient cervical cancer screening.
Aim: To characterize the age and pattern of Pap smear abnormalities in a major teaching hospital in Southwestern Nigeria.
Design: This is a review of medical records of patients that came for cervical cancer screening.
Materials And Methods: The Pap smear results of women between May 2013 and April 2015 were retrieved.
Aim: This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of post-partum urinary retention after vaginal delivery and to examine the associated risk factors.
Material And Methods: This was a prospective observational study carried out over a 2-month period at the major university teaching hospital in southwestern Nigeria.
Results: Prevalence of post-partum urinary retention was 29.
