Clinical Validation of Four Point‐of‐Care High‐Risk HPV Assays, Including Two Reduced‐Valency Assays, for Cervical Cancer Screening in Low‐Resource Settings

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
High‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing improves cervical cancer screening by facilitating earlier detection and prevention. In low‐resource settings, however, cost and increased referrals limit its use. At the same time, many new and more affordable assays lack validation.

A Novel q-PED Method: Precise Physical Properties of a Merger-origin Binary Cepheid OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recently, a double-lined binary classical Cepheid, OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347, was discovered with the orbital period ( P _orb  = 59 days), 5 times shorter than that of any binary Cepheid known before.

Convection Theory and Related Problems in Stellar Structure, Evolution, and Pulsational Stability II. Turbulent Convection and Pulsational Stability of Stars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Using our non-local and time-dependent theory of convection and a fixed set of convective parameters (C1,  C2/C1 ,   C3)= (0.70,   0.50,   3.0) calibrated against the Sun, the linear non-adiabatic oscillations for evolutionary models with masses 1–20 M ...

Resource‐Adapted Triage Strategies for Women Testing HPV Positive With Self‐Collected Vaginal Samples in Cameroon

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Although human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is recommended for cervical cancer screening in low‐ and middle‐income countries, optimal management of HPV‐positive women remains undetermined, particularly in resource‐limited settings. Here, using data from the 3T study involving women in Cameroon, the authors evaluated the ability of extended HPV ...

Home telemonitoring in high‐risk pregnancies: A Finnish retrospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
This retrospective study suggests that home telemonitoring may provide an acceptable approach for managing selected high‐risk pregnancies. Safe and effective implementation requires careful patient selection and adherence to evidence‐based clinical protocols.

Search for Classical Cepheids in Galactic Open Clusters and Calibration of the Period–Wesenheit–Metallicity Relation in the Gaia Bands

The Astronomical Journal
It is beneficial to calibrate the period–Wesenheit–metallicity relation (PWZR) of Delta Cephei stars (DCEPs), i.e., classical Cepheids, using accurate parallaxes of associated open clusters (OCs) from Gaia data release 3 (DR3).

The luminosity scale of Cepheid variable stars - A revison

The Astrophysical Journal, 1984
The period-luminosity-color relation for classical Cepheids is discussed in terms of a recent redeterminations of the distance moduli of open clusters with Cepheid members. The distance moduli of eight clusters with well established Cepheid members were determined from Stromgren four-color and Hp photometry of the B stars.

HIV drug resistance and treatment success in the Republic of Congo: Implications for optimized treatment

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Increasing rates of HIV‐1 drug resistance (HIVDR) threaten the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly among children, adolescents and young adults, who face limited treatment options.

Mass of Cepheid V350 Sgr Incorporating Interferometry and the Companion Mass

The Astrophysical Journal
The system V350 Sgr has a classical Cepheid for the primary. Interferometry is presented for the system, and the full orbit is determined. The mass of the companion has been determined from an International Ultraviolet Explorer spectrum and comparison ...

Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: The Period–Luminosity and Period–Wesenheit Relations for Anomalous Cepheids Supplemented with Large Magellanic Cloud Sample

The Astronomical Journal, 2022
We present the first gri -band period–luminosity (PL) and period–Wesenheit (PW) relations for the fundamental mode anomalous Cepheids. These PL and PW relations were derived from a combined sample of five anomalous Cepheids in globular cluster M92 and ...
