Guidelines for the management of women with abnormal cervical smears 1998.

Four important changes have been introduced in the revised guidelines for the management of women with abnormal cervical smears, 1998. 1. For the purposes of management, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) have been included with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL/CIN1/HPV) except where the smear raises the possibility of a high grade squamous intraepthelial lesion (HSIL) or favours glandular dysplasia. 2. Women with low grade cytological and histological intraepithelial abnormalities will, after initial follow-up, revert to three yearly screening. 3. Requirements for those practising colposcopy have been defined. 4. A formal review of all cases of invasive cervical cancer is advocated.

Bioterrorism preparedness: planning for the future.

The release of nerve gas in a Tokyo subway and attempted releases of biological agents by the Aum Shinrikyo cult have demonstrated the willingness and ability of modern-day terrorists to use unconventional weapons. Unlike explosive weapons, the use of biologic weapons may only become apparent once people become ill. The detection and response to these man-made outbreaks will occur initially at the medical and public health levels. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its partners are strengthening their response, disease detection, diagnostic, and communication capabilities to better protect the nation's citizens against biological or chemical terrorism.
