Article Synopsis
- - Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death among women globally, making early screening for its precursors, particularly Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN), crucial for improving survival rates.
- - Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is a common method for detecting cervical lesions but relies heavily on the subjective assessment of health workers, which can vary in quality.
- - A new deep learning algorithm called Automated Visual Evaluation (AVE) can analyze cervigrams more accurately than human experts and, when combined with image quality assessment tools, has shown promising results on low-end smartphones for efficient cervical cancer screening.
Introduction: The multiple visits required for an effective Pap smear screening program is difficult to replicate in many developing countries. This precludes early diagnosis and care for patients with cervical cancer and contributes to its high mortality in these countries. HPV screening has higher specificity and high negative predictive value and has the advantage that materials can be self-collected, which permits the screening of women who for various cultural and religious reasons would be reluctant to come to the clinic to expose themselves for screening.

Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) are commonly used ovarian reserve markers in Africa. However, there is paucity of age-specific reference values for FSH and AMH among the African population.

It is particularly suitable for low-resource countries because of it is relative cheaper, has low cost of maintenance, ease of use and that does not require electricity which is in short supply in many rural areas of developing countries where the incidence and mortality from cervical cancer is very high. In this study we compared single and double freezing on the cervices of women admitted for hysterectomy for benign conditions using Nitrous-based cryotherapy.

Objective: This study aimed to asses the self-esteem of newly delivered primiparous mothers who had cesarean section (CS) in relation to their parenting self-efficacy.
Methods: A total of 115 primiparous women who delivered by CS were compared with 97 matched controls who had vaginal delivery during the same period.
Objective: This study aims to assess the level of self-esteem of newly delivered mothers who had caesarean section (CS) and evaluate the sociodemographic and obstetrics correlates of low self-esteem in them.
Methods: Newly delivered mothers who had CS (n = 109) and who had spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) (n = 97) completed questionnaires on sociodemographic and obstetrics variables within 1 week of delivery. They also completed the Rosenberg self-esteem scale.
