HPV (Human papillomavirus) infection is strongly associated and is the main cause of cervical cancer. The main target for HPV viruses is the cervical transformation zone. In our work infection with HPV 18 and HPV 16 as also other types of viruses were investigated in 15 patients by taking biopsies. Before hand the patients were signalized by cytology as well as all of them were colposcopically examined. The samples were examined immunohistochemically in the laboratory at the Specialized Hospital for Active Treatment in Oncology. Nine out of 15 patients /60%/ were found positive for HPV-16, five /33%/ were found positive for HPV-18 and 1 /6.6%/ were infected with both HPV types. Our method is very sensitive and practical for determining at very high risk of developing HPV connected cervical cancer.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas that occur rarely in the cervix. Considering the varied clinical features and the absence of a pathognomonic immunohistochemical marker, it is always challenging to diagnose these tumours. Treatment has not been standardised as yet, but a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is used to treat MPNSTs of the cervix.

A series of new Pd(II) complexes were synthesized from the reaction of andrographolide appended hydrazide derivatives with potassium tetrachloropalladate K[PdCl]. The formation of the complexes was confirmed through structural assessments conducted using various spectroscopic techniques. From the spectral studies we confirmed that the ligands coordinated to Pd(II) ion via amine nitrogen and enone oxygen.

Background: The current cervical cancer screening and diagnosis have limitations due to their subjectivity and lack of reproducibility. We describe the development of a deep learning (DL)-based diagnostic risk prediction model and evaluate its potential for clinical impact.
Method: We developed and internally validated a DL model which accommodates both clinical data and colposcopy images in predicting the patients CIN2+ status using a retrospective cohort of 6356 cases of LEEP-conization/cone-biopsy (gold-standard diagnosis) following an abnormal screening result.
