ObjectiveCervical cancer screening usually requires use of a speculum to provide a clear view of the cervix. The speculum is one potential barrier to screening due to fear of pain, discomfort and embarrassment. The aim of this paper is to present and demonstrate the feasibility of a tampon-sized inserter and the POCkeT Colposcope, a miniature pen sized-colposcope, for comfortable, speculum-free and potentially self-colposcopy.Study designWe explored different designs using 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software and performed mechanical testing simulations on each. Designs were rapid prototyped and tested using a custom vaginal phantom across a range of vaginal pressures and uterine tilts to select an optimal design. Two final designs were tested with fifteen volunteers to assess cervix visualization, comfort and usability compared to the speculum and the optimal design, the curved-tip inserter, was selected for testing in volunteers.ResultsWe present a vaginal inserter as an alternative to the standard speculum for use with the POCkeT Colposcope. The device has a slim tubular body with a funnel-like curved tip measuring approximately 2.5 cm in diameter. The inserter has a channel through which a 2 megapixel (MP) mini camera with LED illumination fits to enable image capture. Mechanical finite element testing simulations with an applied pressure of 15 cm H2O indicated a high factor of safety (90.9) for the inserter. Testing of the device with a custom vaginal phantom, across a range of supine vaginal pressures and uterine tilts (retroverted, anteverted and sideverted), demonstrated image capture with a visual area comparable to the speculum for a normal/axial positioned uteri and significantly better than the speculum for anteverted and sideverted uteri (p

BACKGROUND: The Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia (ZZZS) began publishing service-related data in May 2023, following a directive from the Ministry of Health (MoH). The ZZZS website provides easily accessible information about the services provided by individual doctors, including their names. The user is provided relevant information about the doctor's employer, including whether it is a public or private institution. The data provided is useful for studying the public system's operations and identifying any errors or anomalies.

METHODS: The data for services provided in May 2023 was downloaded and analysed. The published data were cross-referenced using the provider's RIZDDZ number with the daily updated data on ambulatory workload from June 9, 2023, published by ZZZS. The data mentioned earlier were found to be inaccurate and were improved using alerts from the zdravniki.sledilnik.org portal. Therefore, they currently provide an accurate representation of the current situation. The total number of services provided by each provider in a given month was determined by adding up the individual services and then assigning them to the corresponding provider.

RESULTS: A pivot table was created to identify 307 unique operators, with 15 operators not appearing in both lists. There are 66 public providers, which make up about 72% of the contractual programme in the public system. There are 241 private providers, accounting for about 28% of the contractual programme. In May 2023, public providers accounted for 69% (n=646,236) of services in the family medicine system, while private providers contributed 31% (n=291,660). The total number of services provided by public and private providers was 937,896. Three linear correlations were analysed. The initial analysis of the entire sample yielded a high R-squared value of .998 (adjusted R-squared value of .996) and a significant level below 0.001. The second analysis of the data from private providers showed a high R Squared value of .904 (Adjusted R Squared = .886), indicating a strong correlation between the variables. Furthermore, the significance level was < 0.001, providing additional support for the statistical significance of the results. The third analysis used data from public providers and showed a strong level of explanatory power, with a R Squared value of 1.000 (Adjusted R Squared = 1.000). Furthermore, the statistical significance of the findings was established with a p-value < 0.001.

CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows a strong linear correlation between contract size of the program signed and number services rendered by family medicine providers. A stronger linear correlation is observed among providers in the public system compared to those in the private system. Our study found that private providers generally offer more services than public providers. However, it is important to acknowledge that the evaluation framework for assessing services may have inherent flaws when examining the data. Prescribing a prescription and resuscitating a patient are both assigned a rating of one service. It is crucial to closely monitor trends and identify comparable databases for pairing at the secondary and tertiary levels.

This map shows the flooded areas detectable by RADARSAT-2 for December 9, 2010 (5:46). Here, 618 hectares of inundated land were detected in the District of Panama. Among the most affected corregimientos in Panama were Chilibre, Ancon and Tocumen, each having an estimated 100+ ha flooded. Layers on this map include information from the Canadian Space Agency / MDA Geospatial, CATHALAC, the Contraloria of Panama, NASA, NGA and USGS.

As part of the planning for stimulation of the Newberry Volcano Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Demonstration project in Oregon, a high-resolution borehole televiewer (BHTV) log was acquired using the ALT ABI85 BHTV tool in the slightly deviated NWG 55-29 well. The image log reveals an extensive network of fractures in a conjugate set striking approximately N-S and dipping 50 deg that are well oriented for normal slip and are consistent with surface-breaking regional normal faults in the vicinity. Similarly, breakouts indicate a consistent minimum horizontal stress, Shmin, azimuth of 092.3 +/- 17.3 deg. In conjunction with a suite of geophysical logs, a model of the stress magnitudes constrained by the width of breakouts at depth and a model of rock strength independently indicates a predominantly normal faulting stress regime.

These datasets inform the study titled "Retracted Covid-19 papers and the levels of ‘citation pollution’: A preliminary analysis and directions for further research". Our aims with this paper are as follows:1) By interrogating cases of papers citing the 33 retracted papers, specifically papers that review Covid-19 literature and/or case studies, we demonstrate the need for ongoing and more in-depth studies that focus on the phenomenon of citation pollution caused by weak or questionable scientific practices.2) We show that the “Covid-19 publication race” has potentially aggravated the distortion of published science on Covid-19.3) We highlight trends that could help understand how citation pollution may potentially escalate and consequently, how it may be mitigated.

The results of the class separation of Kentucky and Colorado shale oils indicate that the separation scheme developed is effective in separating whole shale oils into their component saturate, olefinic, aromatic, and polar fractions. The effectiveness of the separation is indicated by the proton NMR and FTIR analysis of the fractions, while the reproducibility is given by the agreement of duplicate runs. The types of problems encountered, such as column channeling, solvent schemes, elution rates, elution volumes, sample transfer, and adsorbent preparation were corrected and/or modified to provide maximum separation while at the same time minimizing separation time. Nuclear magnetic resonance has proved valuable in analyzing the distribution of hydrogen in the individual fractions. This will allow optimization of operating conditions to yield the desired products. Carbon (/sup 13/C) NMR of the fractions will provide additional structural information on the fractions, such as average carbon chain lengths, branched/straight chain and aliphatic/aromatic ratios, which will complement the information gained through proton NMR. 3 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.

The INtegrated Mapping FOr the Sustainable Development of Ireland's MArine Resource (INFOMAR) programme is a joint venture between the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) and the Marine Institute (MI). The programme is the successor to the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS) and concentrates on creating integrated mapping products related to the seabed. INFOMAR Sample Preliminary Analysis stations represent locations where samples have been taken and analysed by a survey geologist.

Samples from the seabed are taken by grab and box core sampling instruments and are generally gravels, sands and silts etc. Samples are examined by survey geologist and data recorded in an Access database.
