A second generation cervico-vaginal lavage device shows similar performance as its preceding version with respect to DNA yield and HPV DNA results
BACKGROUND Attendance rates of cervical screening programs can be increased by offering HPV self-sampling to non-attendees. Acceptability, DNA yield, lavage volumes and choice of hrHPV test can influence effectiveness of the self-sampling procedures and could therefore play a role in recruiting non-attendees. To increase user-friendliness, a frequently used lavage sampler was modified. In this ...

متن کاملStudies on Biochemical Properties of Cervico-Vaginal Mucus during Early Pregnancy in Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
The present work was carried out to study the variation in biochemical properties of cervico-vaginal mucus of pregnant and non pregnant animals which could help to design suitable tool in future for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes. Cervico-vaginal mucus samples were obtained from 30 buffaloes (12 pregnant and 18 non pregnant) and some biochemical parameters were compared. Means of pH, so...
متن کاملUterus Dysplasia Associated with Cervico-Vaginal Agenesis
Müllerian ducts can form upper parts of normal female reproductive system and any failure in ductal fusion may lead to Müllerian Duct Anomalies (MDA). We present a case of MDA, a uterus dysplasia with no evidence of cervical or upper vaginal tissue. This case illustrates the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on MDA diagnosis and urges the need for a unified reliable and practical classif...
متن کاملCorrelates of HIV-1 Genital Shedding in Tanzanian Women
BACKGROUND Understanding the correlates of HIV shedding is important to inform strategies to reduce HIV infectiousness. We examined correlates of genital HIV-1 RNA in women who were seropositive for both herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 and HIV-1 and who were enrolled in a randomised controlled trial of HSV suppressive therapy (aciclovir 400 mg b.i.d vs. placebo) in Tanzania. METHODOLOGY Samples,...
