Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the accuracy of three cervical cancer screening methods: self-HPV testing, physician-HPV testing, and Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) in low-resource settings.
- A total of 1,601 women in Egypt underwent these tests, revealing similar high positivity rates for self- and physician-HPV testing, while VIA had a lower positivity rate.
- Results indicated that self-HPV testing was not only more accurate than VIA but also comparable to physician-HPV testing, suggesting it could be a reliable screening option in resource-limited environments.
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) with dydrogesterone applied for the same duration in patients having endometrial hyperplasia (EH) without atypia.
Materials And Methods: One hundred thirty eight women aged between 30 and 50 years with abnormal uterine bleeding and diagnosed as EH by transvaginal ultrasound were randomized to receive either LNG-IUD or dydrogesterone for 6 months. Primary outcome measures were regression of hyperplasia after 6 months of therapy.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how well the RIFLE classification correlates with hospital mortality in obstetric ICU patients, focusing on acute kidney injury (AKI).
- AKI was noted in 5.88% of patients, primarily caused by conditions related to pregnancy, and the majority of cases were classified as Failure or Loss according to RIFLE scores.
- The findings suggest that higher RIFLE scores are linked to increased mortality risk, with specific independent risk factors identified, highlighting the RIFLE system's usefulness in predicting outcomes for these patients.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of lactate dehydrogenase (LD) isoenzyme activity profile in uterine fluid and transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in detection of endometrial cancer in women with postmenopausal bleeding.
Study Design: Prospective controlled clinical study.
Methods: One hundred twenty postmenopausal women with one or more episode of vaginal bleeding were studied.
