abstract background: screening is a necessity for country health systems. in undeveloped countries that have no screening programs, cervical carcinoma is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity. although cervical cancer is preventable it is poorly controlled in some countries. the main cause of it is unawareness of people from cervical cancer and screening methods. methods: the targe...

Background: Cervix cancer desease is women's number one killer. Generally, almost all types of cervix diseases are difficult to detect at the early stage. The Purpose Study: To analyze relation between 30 – 50 years old knowledge IVA and their interest in examination. Methods: research design this on cross-sectional. sampling technique which was used simple random sampling. taking data using a ...

induction of labor is one of the most common procedures during pregnancy. various methods for cervical ripening and labor induction have been described in the obstetrics literature; but the role of corticosteroids in the process of labor is not entirely understood. this study challenged the possible role of corticosteroids in induction of labor by extra-amniotic injection through an inflated in...

Progressive accumulation of DNA lesions leads to genetic mutations that are central to the process of tumorigenesis. Human cervix provides an ideal system to determine progressive accumulation of DNA adducts in the target tissue because of its accessibility during routine diagnostic checkups. Uterine cervix samples from various pathologies, i.e. normal (n=13), inflammation (n=9), dysplasia (n=5...

Background & Objective: We compared two different methods of visual inspection the cervix, including Visual cervix with acetic acid (VIA) and Lugol's iodine (VILI) in terms sensitivity specificity diagnosis pre-malignant cervical lesions comparison to colposcopy guided biopsy.Materials Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total number 200 women who were referred clinic Arash women’s hospit...

This study aims to develop a novel imaging technique to improve the accuracy of the colposcolpic diagnosis of cervical cancer. An optical imaging system based on active stereo vision is built to measure the 3-D surface topology of cervix and track the motion of patient. The information of motion tracking are used to register the time-sequenced images of cervix recorded over the period of examin...

Genetic analysis of cervical cancer has demonstrated frequent allelic loss in the 3p chromosomal region. The newly described gene FHIT is located at chromosome region 3p14.2, and its expression has been demonstrated previously by reverse transcription-PCR to be abnormal in a majority of cervical cancer cell lines. In this study, 98 different lesions of the cervix were examined for Fhit expressi...
