Accuracy of 3-D Surface Rendering of 2-D Ultrasound Images of the Uterus Using a Novel Software in Mapping Uterine Fibroids.

Objective: Three-dimensional surface rendering of 2-D ultrasound images of the uterus in mapping uterine fibroids is a fast-evolving imaging technique that holds great potential for gynecology. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of 3-D surface rendering of 2-D ultrasound images of the uterus using a new Fibroid Mapping Reviewer Application (FMRA) software for mapping uterine fibroids as compared with the pathological evaluation of uterine fibroids in pre-menopausal women undergoing hysterectomy.

Methods: We enrolled women aged 35-55 y scheduled for hysterectomy for symptomatic fibroids at a tertiary care hospital from 2019 to 2021.

Community prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases and human immunodeficiency virus infection in Tamil Nadu, India: a probability proportional to size cluster survey.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and AIDS is threatening the survival of many nations. To evaluate ongoing interventional strategies and burden of illness estimates, valid data on the prevalence of HIV are required. Often, in the absence of community prevalence data, estimates are based on surrogate markers such as prevalence of HIV in antenatal clinics.
