Cervical pre-cancerous lesion detection: development of smartphone-based VIA application using artificial intelligence.

Objective: Visual inspection of cervix after acetic acid application (VIA) has been considered an alternative to Pap smear in resource-limited settings, like Indonesia. However, VIA results mainly depend on examiner's experience and with the lack of comprehensive training of healthcare workers, VIA accuracy keeps declining. We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based Android application that can automatically determine VIA results in real time and may be further developed as a health care support system in cervical cancer screening.

Volume measurements on three-dimensional photogrammetry after extended strip versus total cranial remodeling for sagittal synostosis: A comparative cohort study.

Background: Surgery for sagittal synostosis aims at correction of skull shape and restoration of growth potential. Small cranial volume is associated with raised intracranial pressure (ICP). Although many techniques have been described, information on postoperative volume related to early and late remodeling is lacking.

Human immunodeficiency virus partner notification. Cost and effectiveness data from an attempted randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Determine the cost and effectiveness of partner notification for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Methods: Persons testing HIV positive in three areas were randomly assigned one of four approaches to partner notification. Analysis plans changed because disease intervention specialists notified many partners from the patient referral group.

Partner notification for syphilis: a randomized, controlled trial of three approaches.

Objective: To determine the cost and effectiveness of three approaches to partner notification for infectious syphilis.

Study Design: People with syphilis were randomly assigned to: (1) notification of partners by patients themselves within 2 days or disease intervention specialists would notify them; (2) immediate notification by intervention specialist; or (3) immediate notification by intervention specialists, who had the option of drawing blood in the field. Costs of intervention specialists' time, travel, and overhead were measured.
