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.

On December 1st, 2022, the FDA approved the new molecular entity olutasidenib (Rezlidhia: Rigel Pharmaceuticals), a small-molecule inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1), for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) with a susceptible IDH1 mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. The efficacy of olutasidenib was established based on complete remission (CR) + CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh) rate, duration of CR + CRh, and conversion of transfusion dependence (TD) to transfusion independence (TI) in Study 2102-HEM-101. In the pivotal trial, 147 adult patients treated with 150mg twice daily (BID) of olutasidenib were evaluable for efficacy.

Accurately representing changes in mental states over time is crucial for understanding their complex dynamics. However, there is little methodological research on the validity and reliability of human-produced continuous-time annotation of these states. We present a psychometric perspective on valid and reliable construct assessment, examine the robustness of interval-scale (e.

Introduction: Foot shape assessment is important to characterise the complex shape of a foot, which is in turn essential for accurate design of foot orthoses and footwear, as well as quantification of foot deformities (e.g., hallux valgus).

Article Synopsis
  • Colposcopy is crucial for detecting cervical precancerous lesions, especially in postmenopausal women, but challenges arise due to age-related cervical changes that could lead to missed diagnoses.
  • This study aims to determine if pre-treatment with vaginal estrogen improves colposcopy effectiveness by increasing the visibility of the transformation zone, involving 150 women over 50 with abnormal cervical screening results.
  • The study is ethically approved and will compare outcomes like the visibility of the transformation zone, detection rates of cervical lesions, and the side effects of estrogen treatment versus a placebo.
