Title: Ideal Body Image and Socioeconomic Factors: Exploring the Perceptions of Kenyan
Women
Version: 2 Date: 13 Jul 2024
Reviewer:  Muthoni Gichu
Reviewer's report:
This is a well-written paper and has an interesting area of focus.
132-133 The use of high, middle and lower classes.......needs to be re-written, I would use terms
like wealth quintiles or something else that will not sound like a division of sorts.
135 more information on the choice of these two locations is important to paint a clearer picture
to a reader unfamiliar with these spots/areas.
142 Was there ethical clearance sought and received from the local ethics review committees
accredited by NACOSTI?
181 with the inclusion of "tribe" on the table as information collected, would this be something
important to discuss during the findings, half of the participants were from one tribe.
296 sufuria with a single 'f'
384 it will be worthwhile to expound or specify on the increase in expenditure as regards to....?
Trying to understand if the expenditure is on food or something else.
394 Could the ethnic distribution be a limitation too in this study?
400 this is the first time the term vulnerable group has been used on this paper, I don't quite get
the vulnerability in this population. Would it be okay to leave this word out here or expound
as to why they are vulnerable?

Reviewer's report:
The topic is novel. However, I concern some points:
-The definition of menopausal transition stage should be clarified.
-Besides BMI and age, some factors such as infectious condition, endometritis, anemia could
affect to WBC change. How the multicentric study exclude the participants with infection.
-The study concerned on the participants contaminated with COVID-19 during study?

Version: 1 Date: 28 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the opportunity to review this article .
There are many concerns ,
The reported case is a well known presentation in the literature  and adds little to what is already
known .
It is mentioned that this is a review of literature but there are cases presented from the literature.
Many language issues and use of non medical standard terms .
What about the ultrasound pictures and how the fibroid  was suspicious on scan .what about the
detailed scan findings .
What about the details of previous surgeries and the scan after the previous surgeries for
residuals .
Surgical details needs to be rewritten.
Many of the  references are from the 20s , 40s , 50 s and are out of date .
No arrows on the MRI Showing the findings .
Surgical details needs to be rewritten in medical language .
Conclusion is not understood , what are the selected cases for subtotal hysterectomy .
Discuss hysterectomy types in details regarding their indication based on recommendations.
Conclusion is not related to the article .
Why the lady stayed for 5 days after the surgery.
What about Pap smears ?
Details of previous surgeries and  history in details regarding the findings , dates and.
Scans .multiple laparotomies over how many years ? Is it  residual ? Incomplete surgeries ?
Cause of that recurrence .
What about other methods for managing fibroids  As she is nulkoparous ?have they been tried?

Title: Cervical stump leiomyomata after supracervical hysterectomy; a case report with review
of literature
Version: 1 Date: 28 Jul 2024
Reviewer:  Martina Arcieri
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript is well written and issue is interesting.
Minor language revisions are necessary.  I suggest to replace "offensive vaginal discharge" with
excessive vaginal discharge.
Supracervical hysterectomy is also common performed during sacrocolpopexy to reduce the
risk of mesh exposure (Campagna G,  Titanized polypropylene mesh in laparoscopic sacral
colpopexy. Int Urogynecol J). I suggest to add in the discussion literature case about stump mass
after sacrocolpopexy .
I suggest to add in the discussion a literature review about case of stump/leiomyosarcoma after
subtotal hysterectomy.
Title: Cervical stump leiomyomata after supracervical hysterectomy; a case report with review
of literature
Version: 1 Date: 28 Jul 2024
Reviewer:  Marco la Verde
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
I reviewed the manuscript entitled "Cervical stump leiomyomata after supracervical
hysterectomy; case report with review of literature." Although I found this topic very relevant
and potentially interesting for the medical community, it has enormous deficiencies in the section
on systematic review that cannot be corrected by minor revisions. The reasons that lead me to
this sad decision to recommend rejecting this manuscript are as follows:
Title
Clarity and conciseness: The title, though descriptive, could have been much more concise for
readability.
Abstract
Incompleteness: It failed to summarize the case report and literature review. There was no clear
background, result, and conclusion for it.
Introduction
Lack of Clear Hypothesis: No clear hypothesis or objective is set in the introduction to lead the
reader through the study.
Case Presentation:
Inadequate details: This report contains an insufficient presentation of the patient's history and
diagnostic process, treatment, and outcome of the case.
Literature Review
Systematic approach lacking: The literature review lacks a systemic approach for its conduct;
there is no adherence to PRISMA or any other recognized standard of this nature. It wants in
transparency and reproducibility.
Shallow analysis: No critical assessment of the review studies in relation to study methodologies
and their associated results and limitations.
Discussion
Poor Structure and Coherence: The discussion section does not have any sequential structure,
nor is it logically coherent. The findings from the case report are then blended contrary to
expectations with those obtained from the literature review.
Inadequate Clinical Implications: The discussion failed to highlight any clinical implications or
had an opinion on how it would impact patient management and lead into future research.
Conclusion
Weakest Summary: The conclusion does not directly and strikingly summarize the findings, or
what they mean.
Future Directions Missing: No suggestions or future directions are brought up about the research,
which becomes the prime essence behind any comprehensive review.
Recommendation Taking into account the amplitude of these issues, it still is my firm
recommendation to reject this manuscript. The defects in this systematic review are intrinsic and
breeze-lacking for any vigorous publication. As such, the manuscript stands as a whole below the
standards of clarity, coherence, and completeness one expects to meet in scientific publications.
Title: Cervical stump leiomyomata after supracervical hysterectomy; a case report with review
of literature
Version: 1 Date: 28 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Comments
This manuscript presents a detailed case report of a 41-year-old woman with cervical
stump leiomyomata 8 years post-supracervical hysterectomy. The report is thorough,
describing clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical management, and histopathological
confirmation. Additionally, it includes an extensive literature review on the topic, which is
valuable for contextual understanding. Overall, this manuscript addresses a clinically relevant
topic with a well-documented case and robust literature review.
Strengths of the manuscript are followings:
1. The case is well-documented, with a clear timeline of the patient's surgical history and
presenting symptoms. The inclusion of transvaginal sonography and MRI findings provides a
strong basis for the clinical diagnosis.
2. Detailed Surgical Procedure is provide.
3. The histopathological findings are clearly correlated with the clinical presentation and surgical
findings, reinforcing the diagnosis of cervical stump leiomyomata.
4. The manuscript provides a well-rounded review of the literature, highlighting the incidence,
complications, and management of cervical stump leiomyomata. This adds significant value to
the case report by placing it within the broader context of existing research.
In order to improve the quality of the manuscript the following points should be addressed:
1. Background would benefit from a more structured format with a clearer distinction between
the benefits and drawbacks of supracervical hysterectomy (SCH) versus total hysterectomy (TH)
would enhance readability.
2. The manuscript would benefit from a more concise synthesis of key points from the literature
review and their direct relevance to the case presented.
3. The inclusion of MRI images is useful; however, the quality and clarity of the figures should be
ensured. Additionally, a summary table comparing key studies on cervical stump leiomyomata
post-SCH could provide a quick reference for readers.
4. Ensure all references are correctly formatted and up-to-date. Some references may require a
more precise citation style, particularly those from older sources.
5. Emphasizing the importance of thorough preoperative counseling and long-term follow-up
for patients undergoing SCH would reinforce the clinical message in the conclusion part.

Comments to the authors
Thank you very much for the opportunity to review the manuscript.
The manuscript presents a well-documented case report of a 41-year-old nulliparous woman
with recurrent cervical stump leiomyomata following a supracervical hysterectomy (SCH). It
is complemented by a thorough review of existing literature on this relatively rare condition.
While the case description is solid, some aspects of the manuscript could benefit from further
improvements for better clarity, structure, and scientific rigor. The manuscript addresses an
important clinical scenario that highlights the long-term outcomes and potential complications of
SCH, particularly regarding cervical stump pathologies. The authors emphasize the importance
of counseling patients on the risks of SCH versus total hysterectomy (TH) and the necessity
of routine follow-up, which is a critical message for clinicians. In addition, The case is well-
described, with thorough documentation of the patient’s history, surgical procedures, imaging
findings, and pathology. The surgical details are clearly presented, demonstrating meticulous
surgical planning and technique. Furthermore, The review provides an extensive and well-
organized summary of previously reported cases, which enhances the understanding of the
frequency and nature of cervical stump leiomyomata and other associated pathologies. It seems
to me that the authors addressed all concerns raised by reviewers.
Title: Barriers and facilitators of cervical cancer screening literacy among rural women with
HIV attending rural public health facilities in East Central Uganda: a qualitative study using the
integrated model of health literacy
Version: 1 Date: 23 Jun 2024
Reviewer:  Tope Olubodun
Reviewer's report:
Multi-level barriers and facilitators of accessing, understanding and applying cervical cancer
screening information among rural women with HIV in care at rural public health facilities in
East Central Uganda: a qualitative study
The study is topical and presents information on barriers to cervical cancer screening health
literacy. Using the integrated model of health literacy, the qualitative study was able to
comprehensively cover all aspects of the topic in the results and discussion.
However, this study’s quality will be greatly improved and the manuscript publishable if some
revisions are made.
1. This topic is too complex to understand, especially for someone who is not familiar with the
integrated model of health literacy. Please re-phrase the topic. Consider:
Barriers and facilitators of cervical cancer screening health literacy among women accessing
HIV care at rural public health facilities in East Central Uganda: a qualitative study using the
integrated model of health literacy
OR
Barriers and facilitators of cervical cancer screening health literacy among women accessing
HIV care at rural public health facilities in East Central Uganda: a qualitative study
2. The definition of health literacy (according to the integrated model of health literacy) comes
too late in the introduction.  Prior to this, you have been making mention of health literacy
and the average reader will assume ‘health literacy’ basically means ‘knowledge about health’.
Thinking about health literacy just as ‘knowledge about health’ makes it difficult to understand
the initial part of the introduction.
I suggest you define health literacy in your first paragraph or so. You can wait till further down
to expatiate on the integrated model of health literacy
3. Some paragraphs in the discussion are too lengthy. Please break them down with similar
information in each paragraph.
4. The discussion and results sound repetitive. But I understand that it is this way because you
are assessing all the constructs of the model, and also looking at the health facility, community,
interpersonal and individual factors.
5. Please see other comments in the manuscript.

Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal and offers
a high-quality overview of the topic.
The abstract satisfactorily summarizes the contents of the manuscript.
The tables and figures are clear and interesting.
Although the manuscript can be considered already of high quality, I would suggest taking into
account the following minor recommendations:
- I suggest another language revision round to correct typos and improve readability.
- I find it interesting to include a reference to the latest advances in HPV cervical lesions: Golia
D’Augè T, Cuccu I, Etrusco A, D’Amato A, Laganà AS, D’Oria O, Bogani G, Di Donato V,
Muzii L, Giannini A. State of the art on HPV-related cervical lesions. Ital J Gynaecol Obstet.
2024 June p.p. 135-137. doi: 10.36129/jog.2024.161.
- Results and discussions should be summarized.
-What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? It is
important to report the results obtained by the authors in the context of clinical practice and to
adequately highlight what contribution this study adds to the existing literature on the topic and
future study perspectives.
- Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles about the risk factors
that influence the recurrence of high-grade cervical lesions (I suggest authors read and insert in
references the following article PMID: 37747763).
- The authors have not adequately highlighted the strengths  of their study. It would be better
to explain these points.
Title: Determinants of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy after the Disaster of the Century in Türkiye
Version: 1 Date: 26 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
1- The choice of topic is well-made and highly significant.
2- The methodology appears comprehensive and precise, but it would benefit from more details
on the sample selection process and sample size.
3- The data analysis seems to have been conducted correctly, but detailed information on the
statistical methods used is lacking. For a more precise review, more information about the
statistical analysis and validation of the results is needed.
4- The suggestions provided are practical and logical. However, some of the suggestions could
be explained in more detail.
5- The limitations of the article are not well-addressed. It would have been better if the author
had mentioned the challenges and limitations of the methodology and sampling, and explained
how these limitations might affect the results.

Title: Determinants of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy after the Disaster of the Century in Türkiye
Version: 3 Date: 13 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
I examined the manuscript carefully. The study is not well written and the sentences and
paragraphs are very difficult to understand and follow. There are very long and meaningless
sentences in many places. The result section is not well organized. The analyzes are complex
and the use of variables in the analyzes is not clear and accurate. The information provided in
many paragraphs is unnecessary and not in the appropriate place in the text.
The first sentence in the result section of the abstract is incorrect and too long.
There are non-English sentences in the second paragraph of the introduction.
The fact that the introduction section is only two paragraphs is very insufficient for this section.
The research lacks hypotheses and their literature support.
In the method section, it is unclear in which four provinces the survey was conducted.
An inappropriate source was referenced for the skewness value in Data Evaluation. Article
number 33 is not suitable.
The first paragraph of the discussion is not suitable for discussion writing. Literature information
cannot be given here in this way. This information is more suitable for the study area section.
The most important problem is in the analysis and presentation of the findings. The names of the
variables in the tables are unclear in the following tables. Linear regression is not suitable for
your data set. Because you cannot use more than 2 categorical variables as independent variables
in linear regression. In this case you should use ordinal logistic regression.
The text should be edited in terms of academic language and English.
