Screening based on papillomavirus detection: too many false alarms.

Author(s) unavailable

Prescrire Int 19(108):178-9 (2010) PMID 20939456

Screening for highly oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) variants can detect more cases of severe dysplasia than the cervical smear test, but this advantage is offset by a higher frequency of false alarms and colposcopy procedures. In practice, this test has no proven value in the prevention of invasive cervical cancer or related deaths.

    We have investigated the thermochemical conditions required to adsorb CH, CH2, CO and CO2 on diamond nanoparticles, which can withstand higher temperatures and pressures than alternative carbon-based nanostructures. We find that, while CO2 must be over-saturated to facilitate stable adsorption (with...
