Objective: Development of an electronic protocol for cancer of the cervix.
Methods: We collected data through a literature review and formatted them to build a theoretical base for cancer of the cervix for inclusion in the protocol. The computerized database used the SINPE © (Integrated Electronic Protocols) developed at the Federal University of Parana by the Graduate Program in Surgery, Department of Health Sciences, with the help of the Laboratory of Computer and Multimedia.
Results: We created 2,687 items, grouped into seven main categories: history, physical examination, laboratory tests, diagnosis, final pathology, treatment and monitoring. We added items on socio-demographic indicators, contraceptive use, smoking, gynecological and obstetrical histories, staging, the most widely accepted classifications and nomenclatures, diagnostic methods, treatments and follow-up.
Conclusion: It is possible to develop an electronic protocol with low cost, little space and minimal staff training. The use of computers avoids limitations and the subjective character of written records. With the data collected in an appropriate manner it is possible to determine, through statistical analysis, the importance of each factor in cancer development and progression and prognosis.

Background: Digital health interventions have become increasingly popular in recent years, expanding the possibilities for treatment for various patient groups. In clinical research, while the design of the intervention receives close attention, challenges with research participant engagement and retention persist. This may be partially due to the use of digital health platforms, which may lack adequacy for participants.

Although numerous studies have investigated the bacteriological quality of drinking water in Ethiopia, their findings have been inconsistent and varied, hindering the implementation of effective water quality monitoring. Moreover, there is a lack of nationwide assessment of the bacteriological quality of drinking water in Ethiopia.

Despite the global prevalence of dental caries, there is a paucity of comprehensive data on the extent of this issue among children in the Arab region. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries and the associated Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) indices in permanent teeth among children from 4 to under 18 years of age in the Arab region. A comprehensive review of various studies was conducted.

Background: The use of videoconference platforms for neuropsychological assessment was not as common among mental health practitioners before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to lockdowns and quarantines worldwide, mental health professionals had to find a feasible alternative and shift to virtual evaluations. This increased the use of teleneuropsychology in both at a clinical and research level.

Electronic structure calculations in enzymes converge very slowly with respect to the size of the model region that is described using quantum mechanics (QM), requiring hundreds of atoms to obtain converged results and exhibiting substantial sensitivity (at least in smaller models) to which amino acids are included in the QM region. As such, there is considerable interest in developing automated procedures to construct a QM model region based on well-defined criteria. However, testing such procedures is burdensome due to the cost of large-scale electronic structure calculations.
