I this issue, Arbyn et al (see p. 167) update the evidence about the accuracy of liquid-based cytology compared with conventional cytology, and the results are not encouraging.1 In summary, best evidence suggests that liquid-based cytology does not lead to more disease detection and appears to increase false-positive testing, sobering news given that over 80% of U.S. obstetrician–gynecologists ...

: One of the most prevalent cancers, cervical cancer is also leading cause mortality for women in underdeveloped nations. A fundamental test finding infections and precancerous diseases Papanicolaou smear. This study aims to comprehend function screening detecting premalignant, malignant, non-neoplastic lesions as well prevalence different who received a traditional pap smear technique. We scre...

In noise repetition-detection tasks, listeners have to distinguish trials of continuously running noise from trials in which noise tokens are repeated in a cyclic manner. Recently, it has been shown that using the exact same noise token across several trials ("reference noise") facilitates the detection of repetitions for this token [Agus et al. (2010). Neuron 66, 610-618]. This was attributed ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the development of cervical neoplasia in women with no previous cervical cytological abnormalities; whether the presence of virus DNA predicts development of squamous intraepithelial lesion; and whether the risk of incident squamous intraepithelial lesions differs with repeated detection of the same HPV type versus repeated det...

Introduction: Cervical cancer is amongst the leading causes of death in females. According to World Cancer Statistics, global incidence cervical 6.5% and mortality related it 7.5%. The most effective way screen thus treat early stages achieved by screening patients with Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. Aim: To assess spectrum lesions Pap smears, classify them as per Bethesda System reporting Cytology ...

Work by Agus and colleagues in this issue of Neuron defines a human mechanism for the rapid learning of novel noises. The noises do not have a verbal label, and are stored accurately for weeks.
