Cervical Cancer at the Crossroads. An historical ontology of evidence in cervical cancer prevention
… of complex changes in the practices of cervical cancer prevention. Since the post-war period, women throughout most western countries have undergone cytology-based screening to detect and treat cellular changes before they turn to cancer. Over the past decades, the recognition of the …

Cervical artificial insemination in sheep
Results are reported from a fresh semen cervical artificial insemination trial in April 1989 at the Lincoln College Research Farm. One hundred and ninety Coopworth ewes were inseminated over 5 days. Semen was collected twice daily from four Dorset Down rams using an artifical vagina (A.V.). …

Biospectroscopy investigations Into cervical cytology
Local treatment for cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) involves the removal of the affected part of the tissue and is >95% effective in preventing re-invasive disease. However, removal of part of the cervix is linked to significant adverse sequelae, including preterm birth; with cone depth …

Cervical influence on dizziness and orientation
… aim of the work was to examine the influence of cervical biomechanical conditions on movement performance, to study musculoskeletal findings accompanying possible cervicogenic dizziness and to evaluate the influence of cervical proprioception on head orientation. Two devices, measuring cervical …

Development and Implementation of a Cervical Patch Sampling Approach for Cervical Screening and the Study of HPV Transmission
HPV is the causative agent behind 99.7% of Cervical cancers and is implicated in the pathogenesis of many other tumours such as Anal and Oropharyngeal tumours. Recently some studies have called into question the suitability of the techniques used in order to sterilise frequently used, reusable …

Sustained Adrenergic Signaling Promotes Cervical Cancer Progression
… the effects of sustained adrenergic signaling on cervical cancer progression through increased expression of HPV oncogenes, E6 and E7.</p> <p>Materials and Methods: ADRβ expression levels were examined in patient-derived cervical cancer samples. We used an orthotopic model of cervical cancer to …

Cervical cancer studies on prevention and treatment
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common reason for cancer death amongst women worldwide, with 500 000 new cases every year. Most of these women live in developing countries. Cervical screening programs can reduce the incidence by 50%, but are not common in the developing world. In Sweden there …

FDG-PET in Cervical Cancer - Translational Studies
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in females. The treatment, based on clinical FIGO stage, carries a significant risk of side effects. FDG-PET enables non-invasive studies of glucose metabolism. Cancer cells show an increased glucose uptake and metabolism that can be visualised and …

Factors Promoting Human Papillomavirus Mediated Cervical Carcinogenesis
… papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent of cervical cancer. Integration of the HPV genome into the host genome is a key event in cervical carcinogenesis, with oxidative stress (OS) likely playing a major role in promoting DNA damage, and subsequently, integration. In our current study, we …

Continuous measurement of cervical dilatation during labour
An instrument for the continuous measurement of cervical dilatation is described. The principle of operation, being that of mutual inductance, utilises two coils, one on the posterior lip of the cervix and the other on the anterior, the axes of these coils being kept parallel by a flexible linkage. …

Detecting cervical dysplasia with quantitative spectroscopic imaging
… We develop a QSI system capable of imaging cervical dysplasia in vivo. Using the QSI system, we conduct a clinical study to train and prospectively evaluate QSI's ability to distinguish high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) from non-HSILs (less severe conditions) in cervical …

Quantitative spectroscopy for detection of cervical dysplasia
The current clinical standard for cervical cancer diagnosis is colposcopy, a procedure that involves visual inspection and biopsy of at-risk tissue, followed by histopathology. The major objective of colposcopy is detection of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), which are …
