“…В настоящее время растет интерес к исследованию моноклональных антител. Так, для предупреждения опосредованного Т-клетками уничтожения клеток островков Лангерганса используют препарат теплизумаб ("Tzield"), препарат абатацепт препятствует активации Т-клеток (антитело к CDLA4), что также снижает процессы разрушения клеток поджелудочной железы [12]. Особенностью препарата алефацепт является то, что при длительном применении этого препарата повышается уровень С-пептида (его количество эквимолярно количеству инсулина), что приводит к необходимости корректировать дозу сахароснижающих препаратов [13].…”

“…Cervical cancer is the most prevalent pelvic cancer and the fourth most frequent cancer among women worldwide, with 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths expected in 2020 and 2022 1 . It is the second most common cancer among women after breast cancer occurred in low and middle-income countries, where approximately 90% of new cases and deaths worldwide occurred 2 .…”

“…Cervical cancer is frequently discovered in its advanced stages in low-and middle-income nations due to poor awareness of the disease and limited access to preventative measures. Additionally, there are fewer treatment options available for cancerous lesions, which raises the mortality rate from cervical cancer 1,3 . Cervical cancer is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be prevented through vaccination and regular screening.…”

“…Implementing the multiple levels of prevention (vaccination, screening, and treating the precancers) and early treatment of the invasive lesion are very important for prevention 1 . Vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) has been shown to be highly effective in preventing cervical cancer, and regular screening can detect precancerous lesions early on, allowing for prompt treatment and prevention of progression to invasive cancer.…”

Introduction: Using acetic acid to inspect the vaginal canal is a simple screening procedure done with the naked eye. During a speculum examination, the cervical transformation zone is painted with acetic acid 3% to 5% or vinegar. It is a simple, cost-effective screening tool that can be used in poor developing countries with high rates of invasive cervical cancer mortality because acetic acid coagulates nuclear proteins, resulting in white discoloration of the transformation zone in CIN and early invasive cancer. Objective: This study aims to measure the effectiveness of a simple and economical screening test, visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), for diagnosing cervical intraepithelial lesions in comparison to the gold standard of histopathology using a study population of women attending a gynecology outpatient department. Study Design: The study used a cross-sectional design to validate the findings. Study Area: This study was conducted in the Obstetrics & Gynecology Department, Women and Children Teaching Hospital, Dera Ismail Khan. Study Duration: This study took place between November 2018 and April 2019. Materials and Methods: The study included 414 women with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Under a good light source, a lubricated Cusco's speculum was introduced into the vagina to evaluate the cervix for gross abnormalities. A cotton swab was used to apply 3% acetic acid to the cervix and acetowhite changes were observed for one minute. Positive results were considered when distinct acetowhite areas were detected, while negative results were considered when light, faint, or doubtful aceto-white areas were detected. Results: There was a range of age from 18 to 40 years in this study with a mean age of 30.772 years and a mean weight of 71.644 kilograms. For diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial lesions, acetic acid visual examination has shown a sensitivity of 84.38%, specificity of 97.11%, diagnostic accuracy of 95%, PPV of 84.38%, and NPV of 97.11% (p=0.000). Practical implication: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a simple and inexpensive screening test, visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), to the gold standard of histopathology in a study group of women attending a gynecological outpatient service. Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death among women in developing countries, where access to advanced diagnostic tools is limited. If VIA proves to be an effective screening tool, it could be widely implemented in low-resource settings to improve early detection and treatment of cervical cancer. Conclusion: VIA is considered an appropriate screening alternative for a large population. In contrast to cytology-based programs, it is highly sensitive, low-cost, and yields immediate results.

“…Globally, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, with approximately 90% of new cases and deaths in 2020 mostly occurring in low- and middle-income countries [ 1 ]. Early detection of cancerous lesions via cervical cancer screening (CCS) leads to a positive diagnosis and a high chance of cure.…”

Background Uptake for cervical cancer screening (CCS) is extremely low among immigrant women, particularly Muslim women, because of barriers related to religious values, beliefs, and fatalism. This scoping review aimed to summarize and analyze the findings of previous studies regarding perceived barriers to CCS among Muslim immigrant women. Methods A search of electronic databases of peer-reviewed articles, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus was conducted. The following criteria were used for the selection of the articles: (a) the study population consisted of immigrant Muslim women, (b) CCS barriers were the main focus of the study, (c) the articles were original research articles, (d) the research was conducted within the last 10 years, and (d) the study was reported in English language. Results Barriers included sociodemographic factors, economic, language, cognitive, and emotional reactions. The healthcare system was classified as a community barrier, whereas culture and religion were categorized as social barriers. Beliefs that becoming ill and dying is the will of Allah and that health problems are a punishment from God were considered to be major barriers to CCS among immigrant Muslim women. Conclusion Access to health service centers and CCS among Muslim immigrant women is challenging. Information dissemination by health care workers is needed to increase awareness of CCS and access to CCS service points among immigrant Muslim women. Physician recommendations to attend CCS also play an important role.
