Filter by:This study evaluates the effect and feasibility of expanding the target population in the Danish cervical cancer screening program to include women aged 65 to 69 years. The study also evaluates if HPV self-sampling constitutes an appropriate screening method among older women.
Prevention of cervical cancer with cervical screening is one of the most successful screening activities in medicine. In Sweden, screening was implemented in the 1960s and has since prevented tens of thousands of women from having cervical cancer. Individual invitations to screening result in increased attendance therefore evaluating strategies for reaching women through invitations is particularly valuable. Women who regularly attend screening following an invitation reduce their risk of cervical cancer by as much as 90%. Of the women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer (about 550 women per year in Sweden), as many as 38% did not participate in the screening. Invitations for screening are sent to the entire population in Sweden aged 23-70. The current coverage of screening is 82.9%, which represents the proportion of women ages 23-70 who attend according to recommendations. In addition, many women are sporadic attenders who reduce their risk for cancer somewhat. The highest cancer risk is seen among those women who have never participated as well as women who have had a history of precancerous lesions or HPV infection but have not been followed-up. Cervical cancer is the first form of cancer for which there are approved molecular screening tests (HPV test). Unlike the older screening method (cytology), self-collected samples can be analyzed for HPV (the analysis method is so sensitive that it does not matter if the sample is not optimally taken). Invitations and reminders about cervical screening are sent by letter to the woman's home address (about 3 million letters per year in Sweden). This strategy results in a waste of resources and has a negative environmental impact. Regarding reminders, we have seen in previous research that the effect is not optimal. When sending a physical reminder letter to women who have not participated in more than 10 years (current routine), only 2% of the women invited came for sampling. Reminders with SMS are now standard for many businesses in society, such as car testing or dental appointments. It is inexpensive, saves the environment and there are studies that suggest it is more effective than sending physical letters. In this study, we intend to investigate whether SMS reminders, electronic letters, and physical letters for screening lead to increased participation and thus to a higher proportion of detected, treatable precursors of cervical cancer compared to before.
Intubation processes of patients under general anesthesia are important in terms of patient morbidity and mortality. The cervical region has also anatomical and physiologic speciality in which stability of the general condition of the patient during this intubation process. The cervical region needs to be manipulated very carefully due to respiratory center, cardiovascular balance and neurological integrity. During general anesthesia, the patient will be under the effect of muscle relaxant and especially the cervical region becomes vulnerable to trauma. The intubations made by affecting the cervical region as little as possible change the morbidity and mortality. Intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy and videolaryngoscopy has reduced the complications that other methods can cause. Awake intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy and videolaryngoscopy is important for neurological evaluation during the procedure. In this study, we aimed to compare awake intubation by videolaringoscopy and fiberotic bronchoscopy in patients with intubation difficulties due to restriction of neck movements in cervical surgery.
This is a double blinded, split mouth, randomized clinical study that evaluated the performance of a glass hybrid restorative material in non-carious servical lesions in patients with bruxism. The lesions were restored with glass hybrid restorative (Equia Forte) or nano ceramic composite resin (Ceram-x One). Restorations were evaluated after 24 months according to USPHS criteria and the data were evaluated.
To evaluated the clinical performance of composite resin restorations, considering also the evaluation of release of resin components into saliva and the presence cytokines in gingival fluid. Restorative system FL-Bond II (self-etching adhesive system)/ beautifil II (composite restorative) were use. For in vitro assays, adhesive and resin specimens are being preparing for assessing the monomers degree of conversion (by FTIR), sorption and solubility and release of resinous components in ethanol and Ringer solutions (through a gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy - GC-MS). In the longitudinal clinical study clinical performance of restorations and periodontal response were evaluate.
This study will verify the effect of the application of a substance (10% sodium hypoclorite -NaOCL) in dentin on noncarious cervical lesions, with the aim of increasing the longevity of the restorations performed in this type of lesion. The hypothesis of the present study is that the application of deproteinization solution after acid etching does not influence the failure rate of the restorations.
To explore the potential for vaginal self-sampling to increase participation in cervical screening, we offer the option of self-sampling to a group of non-participants in cervical screening (intervention), in addition to the routine screening (smear) test. Women in the control group will only receive the routine screening invitation letter. The total screening uptake rate, 2 months since the recruitment in each group will be compared.
A handheld digital colposcope which utilizes flurorescent light is being tested for the rapid detection and management of cervical lesions. The handheld research device captures cervical images which with the fluorescent light show the regions of cervical tissue that autofluoresce. The investigators will study the relationship between the level of fluorescence and the samples of tissue (biopsies) obtained from the patient as part of her routine care. The investigators will also compare the efficacy of the hand held device with the data being collected from the other research devices being tested by the team, i.e. the multispectral digital colposcopes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy can improve the ability to detect the presence of premalignant lesions on the cervix.
The purpose of this prospective clinical trial will be to evaluate the efficacy of an FDA approved and marketed universal dental adhesive formulation in adult noncarious cervical lesions using self-etch and selective etch approaches. The hypothesis is that using a selective enamel etch with this universal adhesive will enhance the restoration margin performance.
