Prospective detection of cervical dysplasia with scanning angle-resolved low coherence interferometry.

We present a prospective clinical study using angle-resolved low-coherence interferometry (a/LCI) to detect cervical dysplasia via depth resolved nuclear morphology measurements. The study, performed at the Jacobi Medical Center, compares 80 a/LCI optical biopsies taken from 20 women with histopathological tissue diagnosis of co-registered physical biopsies. A novel instrument was used for this study that enables 2D scanning across the cervix without repositioning the probe.

Increased Likelihood of Pregnancy Using an App-Connected Ovulation Test System: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Women trying to conceive are increasingly using fertility-tracking software applications to time intercourse. This study evaluated the difference in conception rates between women trying to conceive using an application-connected ovulation test system, which measures urinary luteinizing hormone and an estrogen metabolite, versus those trying without using ovulation testing. This home-based study involved 844 volunteers aged 18-40 years seeking to conceive.
