Cancer02:18

Cancer

54.4K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Visual System01:26

Visual System

1.8K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

What is Cancer?

14.5K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Visual Agnosia01:12

Visual Agnosia

1.1K
Visual agnosia is a condition characterized by the inability to recognize visually presented objects despite having normal vision. For instance, a person with visual agnosia can describe the shape and color of an object but cannot identify or name it. This impairment does not affect their visual field, acuity, color vision, brightness discrimination, language, or memory. An example of this condition in a social setting is someone at a dinner party asking for "that silver thing with a round...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

1.1K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) detection is crucial for preventing cervical cancer.
  • Visual inspection techniques are experiencing renewed interest for CIN identification.
  • Existing methods like cervical cytology have limitations, especially in low-resource settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and categorize visual techniques for identifying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
  • To discuss the potential of direct visual inspection (DVI) as a primary screening tool.
  • To introduce emerging high-technology visual devices for CIN detection.

Main Methods:

  • Categorization of visual inspection techniques into simple screening and high-technology methods.
  • Description of direct visual inspection (DVI) using acetic acid as a contrast agent.
  • Overview of electro-optical sensor-based devices utilizing specific light wavelengths.

Main Results:

  • Direct visual inspection (DVI) is inexpensive, requires no lab infrastructure, and provides immediate results, suitable for "screen and treat" protocols.
  • DVI has limitations including low specificity and sensitivity compared to human papillomavirus testing.
  • High-technology visual devices are in clinical trials but not yet in routine use.

Conclusions:

  • Visual inspection methods, particularly DVI, present a viable alternative for cervical cancer screening in resource-limited areas.
  • Further development and validation of both DVI and advanced visual technologies are warranted.
  • The choice of screening method should consider resource availability, cost-effectiveness, and diagnostic accuracy.
