ISSN 0001-5555 Condylomata acuminata (CA) are sexually transmitted benign warty lesions that usually affect the anogenital epithelium. Low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, such as HPV type 6 or 11, is associated with the disease (1). These lesions exhibit a small papular, filiform or ...

Giant condylomata are not usually seen nowadays in developed nations, but such cases are still seen in the under-resourced countries. Condylomata acuminata are commonly transmitted through sexual intercourse. Generally diagnosed based on their appearance. Giant condyloma acuminata also named Buschke- Löwenstein tumour (BLT) is a slow growing cauliflower-like tumor, locally aggressive and destru...

Agricultural research of plant-derived endophytic fungi has grown in recent decades. We isolated 26 endophytic fungi from the leaves, stems and fruits of "the tree of life", Camptotheca acuminata, and tested them for antimicrobial activities based on growth inhibition measurements in a modified agar diffusion method. Fermentation broths from most of the isolates exhibited antifungal activity an...

molluscicidal activity of different organic solvent extracts of latex of euphorbia pulcherima and euphorbia hirta (family-euphorbiaceae) against two freshwater harmful snails lymnaea acuminata and indoplanorbis exustus has been reported. both the snails are the intermediate hosts of fasciola hepatica and fasciola gigantica, which cause endemic fascioliasis in cattle and livestock of eastern par...

Two new cyclic lipopeptides maribasins A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine microorganism Bacillus marinus B-9987 isolated from Suaeda salsa in Bohai coastline of P. R. China. Both structures were established to be cyclo (D-Pro-L-Gln-L-Asn-L-Ser-D-Asn¹-D-Tyr-D-Asn²-D-β-aminoisopentadecanoic acid) (1) and cyclo (D-Pro-L-Gln-L-Asn-L-Ser-D-Asn¹-D-Tyr-D-Asn²-D-β-a...

Banana inflorescences are popularly known as 'navels,' and they are used in Brazil as nutritional complements. However, the nutritional value of banana inflorescences (male flowers and bracts) has never been studied. Therefore, plant material of Musa acuminata, cultivar "ouro", was collected in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, and then submitted to chemical procedures to determine its nutritional ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the treatment pattern of condyloma acuminata in female. MATERIAL AND METHOD The 5-year medical records of 449 women treated for genital condyloma acuminata at the Gynecologic Infectious Diseases and Female Sexually Transmitted Disease (GID-FSTD) unit were reviewed. Data included the distribution of age, client by category, anatomical site and size, serologically coexisti...

Department of Dermatology, Concord Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, NSW 2139, Australia A 72-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of phimosis. Circumcision revealed a large, warty mass on his glans. Biopsy demonstrated condyloma acuminata. Over one year they failed to respond to cautery, cryotherapy and topical imiquimod. Further biopsies confirmed that the lesion was histopatho...

Seeds of Bauhinia acuminata L. were used as an experimental material for micropropagation. The effect of growth regulators concentrations on morphogenetic development was studied. Seeds were germinated on MS medium supplemented with GA3 (0.10, 1.0 and 2.0 mgL -1 ) and without GA3. Satisfactory germination was observed at media with 1.0 mgL -l GA3. Subsequent propagation from plantlet was perfor...
