Evaluation of mobile health applications for cervical cancer in the digital marketplace.

Objective: To assess the quality of mobile health (mHealth) applications (apps) for cervical cancer using the mobile app rating scale (MARS), APPLICATIONS scoring system, and app rating using specific statements.

Methods: We searched for cervical cancer apps on two major mobile operating systems (Google Play Store and Apple iTunes Store) in March 2021. Eligible apps were downloaded and assessed for quality by two independent reviewers using multimodal assessment tools.

Effects of Mefenamic Acid in Pain Control during Loop Electrical Excision Procedure:A Prospective Double-Blind Randomized Control Trial.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of pre-procedural oral mefenamic acid compared with placebo in women undergoing Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) with intracervical lidocaine injection.

Study Designs: A prospective double-blinded randomized control trial. Materials, Setting, Methods: Women undergoing LEEP for any indications were asked to participate in the study.

Knowledge and Attitude Toward Human Papillomavirus Infection and Vaccination among Thai Women: A Nationwide Social Media Survey.

Objectives: This study was performed first to assess Thai women's knowledge and attitude toward Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and vaccination and second to find out factors associated with knowledge in this regard.

Methods: The survey announcement was advertised via Facebook from 17 May 2019 to 14 June 2019 to recruit women aged 18-26 years living in Thailand. A score below 5 out of total score of 10 on the survey was considered as a poor level of knowledge.

Effects of Cassia alata Linn on bowel function recovery following surgery for gynecological cancer: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postoperative ileus is a common complication following abdominal surgery. This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness and safety of Cassia alata Linn in stimulating gastrointestinal function recovery among women with gynecologic cancer who had undergone laparotomy for surgical staging or cytoreductive surgery.

Methods: A total of 90 participants were randomly allocated to postoperative consumption of either Cassia alata Linn tea (n = 45) or warm water (N = 45).

Association of Abnormal Pap Smear with Occult Cervical Stromal Invasion in Patients with Endometrial Cancer.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between abnormal preoperative Pap smear results and occult cervical stromal invasion in endometrial cancer patients. Methods: Medical records were reviewed of patients with endometrial cancer who had undergone surgical staging at Srinagarind Hospital. Patients with gross cervical involvement, with an unsatisfactory Pap smear, without available Pap smear results, with no cervical intraepithelial lesion/invasive cervical cancer, or who had previously undergone pelvic radiation therapy were excluded.

Impact of Coexisting Uterine Adenomyosis on the Survival Outcome of Patients with Endometrial Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: To determine the effects of uterine adenomyosis on endometrial cancerrecurrence rates. Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviewed all consecutive patients diagnosed with endometrial cancerwho underwent total hysterectomy-based surgical staging at Srinagarind Hospital between January, 2010 and January, 2016. The patientswere divided into two groups:a uterine adenomyosisgroup and a non-adenomyosis group.

Histopathology of Women with “Atypical Squamous Cells Cannot Exclude High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion” (ASC-H) Smears.

Objectives: To evaluate prevalence of underlying significant pathologies among women with cervical smears rated as ‘atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H)’, as well as associated risk factors. Methods: Medical records were reviewed of all consecutive women with ASC-H smears who had undergone colposcopy at Srinagarind Hospital from January 2008 to July 2016. Significant pathology results included cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2-3, adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer of any original site.

Borderline Clear Cell Adenofibroma of the Ovary.

Borderline clear cell tumors are extremely rare, and few cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present a case of borderline clear cell adenofibroma of the ovary in a 58-year-old woman who presented with a pelvic mass and constipation.
