Ihave come across a glitch on the Prepare to Launch level. I finished the first half of the level and was about to start the second half where the Alex Rings are but the screen is pitch black. The music still plays and I am able to bring up (and see) the pause menu and exit out. I've tried everything from restarting the level to taking the disc out and cleaning it but it doesn't work. Is there someway to fix this or am I doomed to restart my entire game?

I had this happen to me, Twice now. I ended up restarting the game, which didnt take as long as you would think. I was down to 3 cheevo's and now am down to one. I have to get a hole-in-one on the third hole.. go figure.


This same thing happened to me. The only Achievememt I need is the 1600 Coins, and I only had 55 Coins left on Up to the Plane and I cannot get it to load after kicking the luggage. I get the same black screen.

Various Screen Readers to choose from


Visual inspection of the cervix after application of 5% acetic acid (VIA) is a screening technique for cervical cancer used widely in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). To improve VIA screening performance, digital images after acid acetic application (D-VIA) are taken. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a smartphone for on- and off-site D-VIA diagnosis.


This pilot study supports the use of telemedicine for off-site diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, with diagnostic performance similar to those achieved on-site. Further studies need to determine if smartphones can improve cervical cancer screening efficiency in LMIC.

In Madagascar there are 3,194 new cervical cancer cases diagnosed every year and, according to country statistics, 1,804 women died of cervical cancer (estimations for 2012), making cervical cancer a leading cause of cancer death in females [1]. Cervical cancer remains the first most common female cancer in women aged 15 to 44 years in Madagascar [1]. In Western countries, cervical cancer can be prevented through cytology-based screening, but for low and middle-income countries (LMIC), large-scale screening is yet to be implemented, essentially because of a lack of human and material resources. To overcome barriers associated with the implementation of screening programs in LMIC, the World Health Organization has recommended cervical visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), which is low cost, easy to perform and offers the possibility of immediate treatment, if needed [2].


Recently, digital imaging after acid acetic application (D-VIA) has become an increasingly important tool for quality control [7]. Digital images of the cervix with or without magnification can be used immediately for better visualization of the cervix, thus presumably improving the diagnostic accuracy at the time of examination. This approach also allows a second diagnostic evaluation by an expert, in order to test the novice performance, as it is already done in many other medical contexts. Furthermore, digital images can be used for quality control as well as, for continuous education in e-learning platforms to help students across the globe to practice interpretation of VIA/VILI.


In view of the growing applicability of this technology, the aim of this study was to evaluate smartphone use for on- and off-site D-VIA diagnosis and measure its diagnostic accuracy against histopathology.


For self-HPV, women were instructed to wash their hands before the procedure. Each participant received a package containing a specimen collection kit. The swab used for self-collection was a simple dry cotton swab. Recommendations were to hold the swab by the end of the handle, to insert the swab into the vagina until they met resistance, by avoiding contact with the external genitalia. Then, they should gently turn the swab three times, remove it, and insert it in its protective sleeve.


Photos were taken at a distance of about 15 cm from the cervix, with 2 optical zoom. Image capture was conducted by using a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S5), which has a 16 megapixels camera, with an aperture size of F2.2, focal length of 31 mm and a pixel size of 1.12 μm. The flash mode (LED) was permanently activated. The picture was always taken at the same approximate distance from the cervix, by using a universal digital camera support and bracket, where the smartphone was easily adjusted. Care was taken to avoid the intrusion of hair or the vaginal wall that would mask visualization of the cervix. Smartphone camera face-recognition system focus automatically on the cervix and not on other details.


All photographs were taken by a medical student, with no previous experience for VIA/VILI, who was trained for cervical image capture and assisted the physician during the examination. The training was performed in the previous weeks before departure to Madagascar and consisted in five sessions in the operating room with a gynecologist, where pictures of the cervix were taken using the same device and technique. During this training, images were obtained from patients who were going to undertake a conization procedure and who signed an informed consent form for image acquisition. These same images were used for educational purposes.


An endocervical brush was used for endocervical sample collection and cervical forceps were used for biopsies. Both sample types were fixed in liquid formalin according to standard procedures. Histological results, the gold standard for diagnosis, were classified as negative, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1, 2 or 3 (CIN1, CIN2 or CIN3), or invasive carcinoma.


A total of eight cervical neoplasia cases were detected by histology: two CIN1, two CIN2, two CIN3 and two invasive cancers (Table 3). The on-site physician detected four out of six CIN2+ lesions, and treatment (electrocoagulation or conization) was proposed to these women. A missed cancer by the on-site physician was detected by the D-VIA consensus among physicians in Geneva, and since there were no signs of advanced invasion, a hysterectomy was proposed and accepted by the patient. Overall, two CIN2+ were missed and 18 healthy women were unnecessarily treated on-site.


To improve the efficiency and objectivity of the VIA approach, a primary self-HPV test was performed and only HPV-positive women were referred for VIA triage. For this group, the expected rate of CIN2+ increases, generally to between 8 and 12% [4, 15].


A poor agreement between the on-site physician and the consensus diagnosis reached among the Geneva physicians (kappa 0.28) was observed. These data confirm that VIA interpretation can greatly vary between different observers. Subjectivity has also been reported in a study of telecolposcopy [17] for women living in rural areas, where the agreement between the on-site experts versus distant experts for positive colposcopic responses was 52.0% (kappa 0.23). Conversely, in a Botswanian study [19], the diagnostic concordance between nurse VIA and nurse photographic evaluation of VIA was 81%. Moderate agreement (kappa = 0.60) was also reported in a German study, where the primary and secondary examiners agreed in 69% of the cases [18]. Contrary to these studies, naked-eye visualization of the cervix instead of colposcopy was used in the present study, and this difference may have influenced the results.


Generally, VIA method is intended to be performed by non-physician primary health care workers. In this study, a trained physician conducted the examination. Sensitivities between Geneva experts and the on-site physician were similar. The fact that the on-site physician was skilled in VIA may have masked the real potentialities of telemedicine. However, the goal of this study was to verify whether distant evaluation of D-VIA would be as accurate as on-site performance. We do believe these findings could be applied to other contexts where VIA is performed by non-physicians, since the essential is to take good quality images of the cervix by the VIA provider.


For taking adequate photographs of the cervix with the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone, several aspects need to be considered, as described before in the manuscript. In consequence, procedure standardization should be developed. This would involve standardization of shot angles, the distance from the cervix and the number of pictures taken. As previous studies have demonstrated, poor image quality or slight image manipulation may have an impact on the diagnostic accuracy [19, 20].


In the present study, the second reading of D-VIA was performed by physicians located in Switzerland. Remote healthcare services and technology are quickly becoming routine within healthcare institutions worldwide. In our case, once the program has been well implemented and is shown to be effective, it could be extended to other areas of Madagascar and even to other African countries. In the future, the possibility of the second D-VIA reading to be done by some expert located in an urban area of Madagascar or other African countries should be contemplated in order to combine screening with telemedicine. In our institution, a Telemedicine network (RAFT) [21] is already in place, where connections between university and district hospitals are established and participants come from different regions across the globe.
