Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. High-Risk Human Papilloma virus (hr-HPV) is an established cause of cervical cancer and precancerous lesion. Studies have shown the relationship between the HPV-DNA test with cervical precancerous and cancerous lesion in diagnosing cervical cancer. This study aimed to correlate HPV-DNA test with both cytology and histology. Objective: To find out the correlation of HPV-DNA test with cytology and histology for the diagnosis of cervical precancerous and cancerous lesion. Materials and Methods: Cervical smears and DNA samples were collected from the selected patients attending the colposcopy clinic of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from July 2011 to April 2013. Biopsy was done on colposcopically positive cases and histopathology reports were obtained. Thus 99 histologically proven patients of cervical cancer and precancerous lesion were selected. Pap smear was carried out on these 99 patients. HPV-DNA test (Hybrid Capture-2 assay) was carried out on the same samples and viral loads were estimated. Results: Among the 99 cases, 28(28.28%) cases were positive with Hybrid Capture-2(HC-2) assay. Out of 60 cases of CIN-I (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia-1), 7(11.7%) cases were positive with HC-2. Among others, 3(15.0%) cases of CIN-II were positive with HC-2. The viral load was very high in invasive SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) cases in contrast to other categories of histological and cytological diagnosis. A significant relationship was observed between HC-2 and histological diagnosis (P<0.005); and between HC-2 and Pap smear (P<0.005). Conclusion: Introduction of HC-2 where possible along with Pap smear would be highly effective in primary screening and subsequent follow up of cervical precancerous and cancerous lesion.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy of fluorescence-based methods, visual inspections, and photographic visual examinations in initial caries detection. A literature search was undertaken in the PubMed and Cochrane databases. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and eligible articles published from 1 January 2009 to 30 October 2019 were included if they met the following criteria: they (1) assessed the accuracy of methods of detecting initial tooth caries lesions on occlusal, proximal, or smooth surfaces in both primary and permanent teeth (in clinical); (2) used a reference standard; (3) reported data regarding the sample size, prevalence of initial tooth caries, and accuracy of the methods. Data collection and extraction, quality assessment, and data analysis were conducted according to Cochrane standards Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2. Statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3 and STATA 14.0. A total of 12 eligible articles were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of fluorescence-based methods were 80% and 80%, respectively; visual inspection was measured at 80% and 75%, respectively; photographic visual examination was measured at 67% and 79%, respectively. We found that the visual method and the fluorescence method were reliable for laboratory use to detect early-stage caries with equivalent accuracy.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in detecting the choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in agerelated macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed by searching Pubmed, Science Direct, Embase and Web of Science. The pooled sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), area under the summary receiver operator characteristic curve (sROC), and the total accurate classification rate were used to evaluate OCTA’ diagnostic value of CNV in AMD patients. Results: Seven studies involving 517 eyes were included in the analysis. The mean age of subjects in each study ranged from 58.5 years to 81.7 years. Fluorescein angiography was applied as the gold standard in five studies. There were 350 eyes diagnosed with CNV, OCTA detected 301 eyes correctly, while among the 167 eyes without CNV, OCTA identified 150 correctly. The total accurate classification rate was 87.23%. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was 0.5, indicating that there was no significant threshold effect in the current study (S=8, p=0.103). The pooled sensitivity and pooled specificity were 0.89 (95%CI: 0.82,0.94) and 0.96 (95%CI: 0.85,1.00) respectively. The area under sROC was up to 0.911. Conclusion: The specificity of OCTA for the detection of CNV in AMD patients is extremely high, however, the sensitivity still needs to be improved. In general, the metaanalysis revealed that OCTA had a high diagnostic value for the detection of CNV in AMD patients.
