The integration of computer imaging and colposcopy can improve the colposcopic diagnostic accuracy. An inexperienced colposcopist may benefit from computerized support to obtain the most appropriate histologic specimen, and eventually access to distant consultation via modem or through on-line services. An additional advantage is the ability to develop a space-saving permanent record of digitized images readily available to review a patient's cervical history or perform effective programs of quality control in colposcopy.

Vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) represents an important worldwide health problem and rapid decline in viral load is essential for HIV pregnant women to prevent mother to child transmission. Specific issues such as late presentation of pregnant HIV-infected women remain a clinical challenge. We present a case of an HIV-infected woman who presented to our hospital at 35 weeks of pregnancy, who was successfully treated with raltegravir-based first-line combined antiretroviral regimen. Even though there is limited information about safety and tolerability of the use of raltegravir in pregnancy, in our case this drug resulted in a rapid decline in HIV-RNA viral load, without side effects. The aim of the present study and literature review was to demonstrate that raltegravir can be a good treatment choice for very late presenting pregnant women.

Hohlräume, Buchten und Taschen zuhauf! Durch selbstaktivierende silylassistierte Polyoniosubstitution (SASAPOS) lässt sich meso‐Tetrakis(pentafluorphenyl)porphyrin fast quantitativ in das zwanzigfach positiv geladene Polykation 1 überführen, in welches sich 20 Gegenanionen einlagern. Auf einfache und effiziente Weise wird so die bislang drastischste sterische und elektronische Transformation eines Porphyrinderivats erzielt.
