Despite the acknowledged importance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in reducing HPV-related diseases, the influence of electronic medical records (EMR) on HPV vaccination uptake (HVU) remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of EMR-based interventions on HVU. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were performed, focusing on studies that primarily used EMR-based interventions to measure initiation rates, completion rates, and receipt of the next required vaccine dose.

This study evaluates the neurocognitive benefits of bovine milk fat globule membrane supplementation in formula, comparing it to standard formula and assessing its noninferiority to breast milk. Data were sourced from studies published between January 2000 and March 2024 from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase.

This systematic review and meta-analysis addressed this issue by evaluating the impact of clinician communication training on increasing HPV vaccination uptake among adolescents. From an initial pool of 3213 records, six randomized controlled trials involving 245,195 participants across the United States were rigorously selected and analyzed.

Digital interventions for promoting vaccination uptake offer a scalable and accessible solution to this issue. Here we report a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the efficacy of digital interventions, comparing educational and reminder approaches, for promoting HPV vaccination uptake (HVU).

This study's primary objective was to determine the effectiveness of online interventions in improving the mental health of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (PAYA) cancer survivors. The secondary objective was to identify the independent variables associated with online intervention efficacy for mental health improvement.

Given that human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA integration and overexpression of E6/E7 oncogenes are pivotal events for carcinogenesis, we sought to determine if HPV E7 cfDNA could serve as a specific biomarker for cervical cancer detection. We applied droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to quantify HPV16/18 E7 cfDNA from the serum of patients with cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and controls.

We developed a cross-sectional study of 92 women, who had been referred for a colposcopy because of their abnormal cervical cytology. Colposcopy-directed biopsies were taken from lesions and random non-directed biopsies were added, if their directed biopsies were fewer than four in number.

The cohort comprised of 626 patients, diagnosed with stages IA2-IB1 cervical cancer between 1987 and 2013. Four hundred and one patients had SCC, 190 had AC and 35 had ASC.

Material And Method: The studied subjects consisted of 60 normal and 60 BV women. The diagnosis of BV was based on at least three of five indicators of Chandeying criteria.
Objective: Determine the positive in-house preparation kit for suggested bacterial vaginosis (BV) for both elevated vaginal pH > 4.5 and positive amine test, as well as evaluate for validity of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value against Chandeying criteria for confirmed BV.
Material And Method: A cross-sectional study among the women who presented with an abnormal vaginal discharge (AVD) or asymptomatic annual cervical cytology screening was done.
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is a well-known fatal skeletal dysplasia in fetal life. It can be usually diagnosed by two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography. However three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography, a new rapidly available technique, can be a useful addition to 2D ultrasonography for improving the visualization of the abnormalities and giving help when providing counseling to a family regarding the diagnosis and future recurrences.

Because the number of reports of this cancer is limited, there is no consensus on its management, prognosis or the efficacy of various treatments. Primary malignant lymphoma of the cervix stage Ib was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman.
