Reliability and diagnostic performance of smartphone colposcopy.

Objective: To evaluate the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of smartphone colposcopy (SPC) versus conventional colposcopy and to determine diagnostic performance.

Methods: A smartphone back camera was used to capture cervical images before and after application of acetic acid, and after application of lugol solution. Captured images were reviewed independently by two experienced colposcopists and findings were noted as per colposcopy.

Clinical predictors of successful vaginal myomectomy for prolapsed pedunculated uterine leiomyoma.

Survivin Expression in Simple Endometrial Polyps and Tamoxifen-associated Endometrial Polyps.

Endometrial polyps are benign pathologies originating as localized overgrowths of basal endometrium. Risk factors include endogenous and exogenous estrogen excess and tamoxifen (TAM) exposure. Our main objective was to investigate the role of an apoptosis-inhibiting protein, survivin, in endometrial polyps.
