The purpose of this project was to describe cervical cancer screening rates in women with medical disabilities living in Ohio, and explore the relationship of select sociodemographic factors to cervical cancer screening participation. A chart abstraction of 350 randomly selected women, ages 20 to 80 years and enrolled in a statewide home care waiver program, was completed in July 2008. Less than half of the women (45.4%) had obtained a cervical cancer screening within the past 3 years. Controlling for age and third-party insurance, the odds of being screened decreased 20% with each activity of daily living requiring assistance (odds ratio = .815, 95% confidence interval [.696, .953]). Previous studies indicate that women with self-reported limitations are less likely to report a cervical cancer screening. The gap for screenings appears greater for women with a medical disability.

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.
