چکیده
Objective : An attempt was made to compare the detection of cervical abnormalities between the use of a cotton swab and a Cervex brush in mass cancer screening. Study Design : Of 15,664 women who participated in a cervical cancer screening program in 2002, 8,366 women underwent Cervex brush sampling and 7,298 underwent cotton swab screening to compare the detectability of dysplasia and cancer in situ. Results for 2002 were also compared to those from 1998 to 2001. The proportion of unsatisfactory smears to all smears taken by 25 gynecologists was evaluated. Results : The detectability of cervical abnormalities including low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and high

متن کاملComparison of spatula and nonspatula methods for cervical sampling.
A comparison between nonspatula (cotton swab and Cytobrush) cervical sampling methods and spatula (wooden Ayre spatula and plastic extended-tip Szalay Cyto-Spatula) sampling methods was made in 109 cases. Based on the presence of endocervical cells, there were statistically significant qualitative differences between the non-spatula methods as well as between the spatula methods, but not betwee...
متن کاملEffect of a ring type barrier and rotational speed on leakage flow of gas turbine brush seal
This paper investigates the effect of inserting a ring type barrier on leakage flow of brush seals with different bristles clearances (the distance between bristle pack tip and rotor surface). The ring is placed on both upstream and downstream sides of the bristles. An axisymmetric CFD model is employed to calculate radial pressure distribution along backing plate, axial pressure variation on r...
