AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Metastasis of uterine cervical carcinoma to the heart is uncommon and cases with metastasis to the right atrium are especially rare. This type of metastasis occurs in the epicardium and the myocardium in over 90% of cases with a heart metastatic tumor. Most cases of a metastatic tumor in the heart are found by chance during autopsy.
Case Report: We present the case of a patient with stage IIa uterine cervical carcinoma who visited our hospital with a chief complaint of arrhythmia 1.9 years after surgical treatment of carcinoma. CT and MRI showed that recurrent metastatic uterine cervical carcinoma had grown from the inferior vena cava upward into the right atrium.
Conclusion: Although gynecological malignant tumors rarely metastasize to the heart, it is important to consider this possibility in patients with chest symptoms, and to make an early definite diagnosis and give appropriate treatment.

Second Trimester Abortion: A Dilation and Evacuation Simulation for Gynecologic Surgery and Obstetrics Residents.
MedEdPORTAL
January 2025
Fellow, Department of Gynecologic Surgery and Obstetrics, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Introduction: The future of training in second trimester surgical abortions with dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedures faces ongoing legal and political scrutiny; thus, adjuncts to standard clinical experiences are exceedingly important. We sought to build medical trainees' surgical familiarity with D&Es using a realistic simulation model.
Methods: The simulation began with an instructional video reviewing accessible and affordable materials used to build the fetal model (vaginal swabs, styrofoam ball, and putty) and the uterine model (collapsible water bottle).

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran-Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia.
Objectives: This study investigates the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, namely Cerviray AI, compared with Cerviray expert, aiming to compare its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ROC). The Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) test is used as the gold standard.
Results: The study involved 44 patients from various health centers in West Java Province.
Perceptions of cervical screening uptake amongst South Asian women in Ontario, Canada: a concept mapping study.

University of Toronto, 155 College St Room 500, Toronto, ON, M5T 3M7, Canada.
Background: Regular cervical screening can significantly reduce the onset and prevalence of cervical cancer. In Ontario, Canada, South Asian women have the lowest rates of cervical cancer screening among major ethnic groups in the province.
Methods: Using an innovative and participant-driven method called Concept Mapping (CM), we set out to understand how the lives and experiences of South Asian women living in Ontario shape their decisions around getting screened for cervical cancer.
MRI delta radiomics during chemoradiotherapy for prognostication in locally advanced cervical cancer.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Mohn Medical Imaging and Visualization Centre (MMIV), Department of Radiology, Haukeland University Hospital, Jonas Lies vei 65, Bergen, 5021, Norway.
Background: Effective diagnostic tools for prompt identification of high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients are needed to facilitate early, individualized treatment. The aim of this work was to assess temporal changes in tumor radiomics (delta radiomics) from T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in LACC patients, and their association with progression-free survival (PFS). Furthermore, to develop, validate, and compare delta- and pretreatment radiomic signatures for prognostic modeling.

University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Cancer Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, family medicine/general practitioner oncology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. The Expert Panel developed a list of 29 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, of which 16 pointed to other CAR guidelines. A rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of the remaining 13 scenarios.
