Does uterine position affect pain intensity during outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy?
No full textObjective: To assess the impact of uterine position on pain intensity during outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy. Materials and Methods: Retrospective data from 312 diagnostic hysteroscopy patients were evaluated. Pain was measured using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS). Analyses were performed to determine associations between uterine position [anteverted-anteflexed (AA), anteverted-retroflexed (AR), retroverted-anteflexed (RA), retroverted-retroflexed (RR)], and pain intensity during the procedure (VAS > 3 vs. VAS ≤ 3). Patient characteristics and clinical variables were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Logistic regression analysis revealed no association between uterine position and pain intensity during outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy [AA uterus, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.82, confidence interval (CI): 0.39–1.72; AR uterus, AOR = 0.65, CI: 0.25–1.71; RA uterus, AOR = 1.37, CI: 0.38–4.84; RR uterus, AOR = 0.84, CI: 0.22–3.17]. Conclusion: The present data suggest that uterine position does not affect pain intensity during diagnostic hysteroscopy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Detection and typing of human papillomavirus in histologic specimens by in situ hybridization with biotinylated DNA probes.
No full textEighty tissue biopsies from 73 women suspected of having papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the lower genital tract were examined by in situ hybridization with biotinylated DNA probes derived from the complete genomes of four HPV types (6, 11, 16, and 18) and restriction analysis of the extracted DNA on Southern blots. In a subset of 52 samples, the in situ test had a 90.4% sensitivity (47 of 52) in detecting the presence or absence of virus, whereas Southern blot analysis detected HPV with a sensitivity of 98.1% (51 of 52). For 51 samples, in which the viral type was determined by restriction analysis, comparison of the signals separately generated by the four probes after in situ hybridization allowed a correct identification of the infecting HPV type in 86.2% (44 of 51) of cases
