Correlation of Two Colposcopic Indices for Predicting Premalignant Lesions of Cervix.

Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy among women in India, mainly affecting the females of Peri-Menopausal age group. Colposcopy has been very useful for diagnosing cervical cancer to guide the biopsy. Reids and Scalzi proposed the Reids Colposcopic Index (RCI) to make colposcopic diagnosis less subjective, which is currently the most accepted scoring system.

Acceptability and safety profile of oral and sublingual misoprostol for uterine evacuation following early fetal demise.

Background: It has been established that sublingual (SL) route of misoprostol has a great potential to be developed for medical abortion, but there is dearth of evidence to reveal satisfaction rate and safety profile among patients of oral and SL routes. Thus, this study was conducted to provide an insight into the acceptability and safety profile of the same.

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out by giving 200 mg mifepristone orally, followed by administration of 600 μg misoprostol orally to 50 women and sublingually to 50 women.

Sublingual versus oral misoprostol for uterine evacuation following early pregnancy failure.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of misoprostol administered sublingually or orally for uterine evacuation after early pregnancy failure.

Method: Forty-eight hours after receiving 200 mg of mifepristone orally, 100 women were randomized to receive misoprostol sublingually or orally.

Results: The evacuation rates were 92% in the sublingual and 84% in the oral administration group; the mean+/-SD induction-to-evacuation intervals were 5.
