Risk of cervical precancer and cancer among uninsured and underserved women from 2009 to 2017

Cervical cancer screening and follow-up data among 363,546 women enrolled in the CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. Women who were never screened or who were not screened had greater immediate risks.

Does complex PTSD predict or moderate treatment outcomes of three variants of exposure therapy?

Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) was included in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) We investigated whether CPTSD predicted and moderated treatment outcomes of PE, intensified PE, and Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation.

Rheumatology assistance care in Catalonia (Spain): year 2012

An epidemiological questionnaire was sent to all rheumatologists. Eight hospitals were accredited by the National Commission to develop a training program in Rheumatology. There were 7 hospitals without a rheumatologist in the public health sector. There has been an increase of 4.8% in the last seven years.

Transition to practice in radiation oncology: Mind the gap

The gap in perceived competency in physician-related radiotherapy tasks may be caused by the complex interaction of clinical processes, people, and technology.

Differences in Performance Characteristics Among Four High-Throughput Assays for the Detection of Antibodies Against SARS-CoV-2 Using a Common Set of Patient Samples

Serologic testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has experienced a changing landscape of available assays, with uncertainty surrounding performance characteristics. Studies are needed to directly compare multiple commercially available serology assays. The specificity and sensitivity achieved by the Roche and Siemens assays would be acceptable for testing in lower-prevalence regions and have the potential of orthogonal testing advantages if used in combination.

Comparative evaluation of four SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests in hospitalized patients

Antigen tests can provide timely results, which is of particular importance in a primary care setting. Most tests had a sufficient sensitivity to identify symptomatic subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2 and with transmissible infection. Newly introduced antigen tests need to be validated in a clinical setting to define their clinical usefulness. One test investigated had a poor clinical performance.

An in-well direct lysis method for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 by real time RT-PCR in eSwab specimens

In the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic reagents and utensils for NA purification have been in short supply. This has generated interest in methods that eliminate the need for NA Purification. IGEPAL-CA-630 (IGEPAL) was added to SARS.-Cov-2 MM to 0.3% final concentration and the crude sample was added directly to the. DNA well containing MM. All 30 previously test negative samples remained negative when tested in in-well lysis, direct rRT-PCR.

Correlation of SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies to an Automated Chemiluminescent Serological Immunoassay

NAbs are capable of binding to a virus to render it incapable of infection. The ability of commercially available SARS-CoV-2 serological tests to detect NAbs has not been widely reported. We sought to correlate the antibodies detected by an automated chemiluminescent immunoassay with NAbs. NAbs were detected in 66% (23/35) of the antibody-positive samples.
