Published: June 2006

We analyze the radiated emissions from a low power electrosurgical unit (ESU). Measurements at a 3-meter distance are performed in order to find a suitable measurement setup intended to reproduce realistically the real working ESU behavior in a test lab. The broad-band and narrow-band characteristics of the perturbation are studied in order to address the other equipment immunity.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of different pretreatment strategies and cleaning methods on the cleaning efficacy of electrosurgical instruments, aiming to propose an optimal protocol.

Methods: A total of 573 electrosurgical instruments were collected from three large-scale hospitals within two hours post-use from December 2023 to July 2024. The instruments were categorized into six group: medical alkaline or multi-enzyme cleaner, or instant foam-type multi-enzyme humectant, followed by either manual cleaning or vacuum boiling washer.

Objective: To compare effectiveness of topical 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (5-ALA PDT) and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) among patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).

Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who underwent either 5-ALA PDT or LEEP from Sep. 2012 to Dec.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) requires skills that the vast majority of endoscopists do not possess. ESD be broken down into component skills and at least three of the necessary skill sets can be taught separately. In the United States most trainees initially participate in half- or full-day courses that utilize ex vivo and in vivo animal models and the great majority learn these advanced skills in the clinical setting.

Background: Cervical cancer continues to disproportionately burden women in low/middle-income countries like Ghana. We examined treatment patterns and histopathological outcomes among women screened using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and/or mobile colposcopy who subsequently underwent thermal ablation, large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ), or cold knife conization at the Cervical Cancer Prevention and Training Centre, Battor. We also assessed the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+ (CIN2+) or micro-invasive disease and their associated factors for women who underwent excisional treatments.

Unlabelled: A substantial percentage of the population remains at risk for cervical cancer due to pre-existing human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, despite prophylactic vaccines. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better disease outcomes. The development of new treatments heavily relies on suitable preclinical model systems.
