    Abstract Cervical cancer is one of the leading health burdens globally with a huge incidence in developing countries like India. Cervical cancer has an extended premalignant stage known as cervical dysplasia or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). CIN can be grade 1, 2, or 3 depending on its severity. One of the most effective methods of cervical cancer screening and prevention is detecting these premalignant lesions by cervical cytology. Pioneered by Dr. George Nicholas Papanicolaou, the Papanicolaou (Pap) stain became an important advent for the microscopic evaluation of the exfoliated cervical cells. Over the years, this method of conventional Pap smear became more practiced and yielded excellent results, so much so that the incidence of cervical cancer actually started to decline in developed countries. However, few drawbacks started to become evident with conventional Pap smears like unsatisfactory samples due to obscuring materials, false negative results due to sampling error, and low sensitivity. To overcome these drawbacks of conventional Pap smear, liquid-based cytology (LBC) was introduced in 1996. Thereafter, many investigations and studies have been conducted by many authors to compare the efficacy of conventional Pap smear and LBC. This review puts forward the facts and results of various studies pertaining to efficacy of cervical cytology, comparing conventional Pap smear and LBC, and highlighting the pros and cons of each method based on various studies. For this review, relevant articles under the headings "Conventional PAP smear", "Cervical cancer screening", "Liquid-based cytology" and "Comparison" have been searched in PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar. About 100 articles were studied, and all the facts have been highlighted. While many studies did support LBC over conventional Pap smear for screening of cervical abnormalities, some studies did not find any major difference between the two and preferred the practice of conventional Pap smear in our Indian scenario considering the low-resource setting and low price. This research highlights the various facts of the two types of cervical Pap smear and their comparison.

  3. Article: The Fate of Cervical Dysplastic Lesions during Pregnancy and the Impact of the Delivery Mode: A Review.

    Abstract Cervical dysplasia, also referred to as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL), is the precursor lesion of cervical carcinoma. Therefore, its diagnosis is vital for early detection and inhibiting the development of cervical carcinogenesis. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common aetiology of cervical cancer and this infection mainly affects young women of childbearing age, thus affecting pregnant women as well. It is essential to know how CIN progresses in pregnant patients because the management of pregnant and non-pregnant patients is different (considering the safety of both mother and child in pregnancy). This review intends to highlight the studies which have assessed the rates of progression of CIN diagnosed in pregnancy throughout the antenatal period and the impact of the mode of delivery on CIN outcomes. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases for relevant articles. Many studies indicate that the rate of progression of these lesions is very slow during the tenure of pregnancy; many also report postpartum regression of these lesions. Thus, in most of these patients, management can be safely implemented in the postpartum period while just keeping them under observation in the antenatal period. However, patients with high-grade CIN have a higher chance of developing invasive cancer and, therefore, require careful monitoring. There is a dispute regarding the role of the mode of delivery in determining the fate of cervical dysplasia. While some studies supported vaginal births over caesarean sections, others did not find any difference between the two in defining the outcome of the dysplastic lesions.

    Abstract This article argues that extended school closures during the Covid-19 pandemic were a moral catastrophe. It focuses on closures in the United States of America and discusses their effect on the pandemic (or lack thereof), their harmful effects on children, and other morally relevant factors. It concludes by discussing how these closures came to pass and suggests that the root cause was structural, not individual: the relevant decision-makers were working in an institutional setting that stacked the deck heavily in favor of extended closures.

    Abstract Machines are being increasingly used in decision-making processes, resulting in the realization that decisions need explanations. Unfortunately, an increasing number of these deployed models are of a 'black-box' nature where the reasoning behind the decisions is unknown. Hence, there is a need for clarity behind the reasoning of these decisions. As humans, we would want these decisions to be presented to us in an explainable manner. However, explanations alone are insufficient. They do not necessarily tell us how to achieve an outcome but merely tell us what achieves the given outcome. For this reason, my research focuses on explainability/interpretability and how it extends to counterfactual thinking.

    Abstract Background: There is a high prevalence of dizziness, vertigo and balance symptoms in the general population. Symptoms can be generated by many inner-ear vestibular disorders and there are several diagnostic tests available that can help identify the site of the vestibular lesion. There is little consensus on what diagnostic tests are appropriate, with diagnostics either not completed or minimally performed, leading to missed diagnosis, unsatisfactory results for patients and costs to healthcare systems.
    Methods: This study explored the literature for different neuro-vestibular diagnostic tests not currently considered in the traditional standard vestibular test battery, and examined how they fit effectively into a patient care pathway to help quickly and succinctly identify vestibular function.
    Results: A vestibular patient care pathway is presented for acute and subacute presentation of vestibular disorders.
    Conclusion: An accurate diagnosis following a rigorous anamnesis and vestibular testing is paramount for successful management and favourable outcomes.

    Abstract Chromatographic separation and purification of an individual lipid to homogeneity have long been introduced. Using this concept, a more precise method has been developed to identify and characterize the sphingolipid composition(s) using a small amount (30 mg) of biological sample. Sphingolipids (lipids containing sphingosine or dihydrosphingosine) are well-known regulators of the central nervous system development and play a critical role in neurodegenerative diseases. Introducing a silicic acid column chromatography, sphingolipid components have been separated to individual fractions such as ceramide, glucosyl/galactosylceramide, other neutral and acidic glycosphingolipids, including (dihydro)sphingosine and psychosine; as well as phospholipids from which individual components are quantified employing a single or combination of other advanced chromatography procedures such as thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
