[Artificial Intelligence: accuracy for the diagnosis of precancerous lesions of the cervix].
To compare the diagnostic sensitivity of artificial intelligence (AI) assisted videocolposcopy with standard videocolposcopy performed by specialist colposcopists. ⋯ The high diagnostic accuracy of AI videocolposcopy allows obtaining highly sensitive studies that help in the early detection of precursor lesions of cervical neoplasia.

Calciphylaxis is a serious vascular disorder characterized by calcification of tunica media, intimal hyperplasia, thrombosis, and skin necrosis. It was described in patients with renal failure (UC), although it can occur in its absence (NUC). Its risk factors are under study and its diagnosis can be complex. Over a decade ago, its mortality was estimated at 60-80%. Recent studies indicate that it has decreased (40%). ⋯ We observed a high proportion of patients with NUC, in relation to what is reported in the literature, and that half received vitamin K antagonists. The histological diagnosis was made with one biopsy in most of the cases, as the surgical technique for taking the sample, the Von Kossa staining and the evaluation by an expert pathologist were the key of it.
