PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological features of oral condylomas in children and condylomatous lesions of their mothers. Moreover, the authors sought to determine the mode of transmission of this disease and to find the genotype of human papilloma virus (HPV) in the children's oral condyloma. METHODS Nine instances of oral condyloma acuminatum in childr...

A man in his 70s presented to our hospital with a positive fecal occult blood test. Colonoscopy revealed a 12-mm protruding lesion in the anal canal (Fig. 1 A,B). Because the anal canal was too narrow to perform conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), underwater EMR without submucosal injection was performed using a colonoscope (CF-HQ290I; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). A disposable transpare...

Perianal diseases are the most common reasons for surgery in HIV-positive patients. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of these surgical procedures in Korean patients, focusing on wound healing and postoperative complications. Retrospective analysis was performed on 72 HIV-positive patients who underwent surgery by a single surgeon for benign anal disease between 1998 and 2011. Of these,...

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Condyloma acuminata, a sexual infectious disease caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) or Chlamydia trachomatis is more commonly in pregnant women and severe than non-pregnant women. Pregnant are susceptibility to infection due the immunologic suppression continues according gestational age.
 AIM Delivering case report about primigravida diagnosed with massive cond...

Introduction More than 24 million cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection occur in adults in the United States, with an estimated 1 million new cases developing each year. The number of outpatient visits for adults who have venereal warts (condyloma acuminata) increased fivefold from 1966 to 1981. (1) HPV infections in children may present as common skin warts, anogenital warts (AGW), ora...

Molecular and epidemiologic investigations suggest a causal role for human papillomavirus (HPV) in anogenital cancers. This study identified oncogenic HPV genotypes in anogenital cancers among men and women in a 2013 cross-sectional descriptive study in Myanmar. In total, 100 biopsy tissues of histologically confirmed anogenital cancers collected in 2008-2012 were studied, including 30 penile a...

Lactating Mongolian gerbils, like lactating Norway rats, reliably lick some pups in their litters more than they lick others. Male gerbil pups are licked more by their dams than are their sisters and some males and some females within each litter are licked more often than are their sibs of the same sex. In the present article, we explore the characteristics of same-sex littermates that are cor...

BACKGROUND A cost-utility study of a human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine requires that the utility weights for HPV-related health states (i.e., cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), cervical cancer, and condyloma) be evaluated. The aim of the present study was to determine the utility weights for HPV-related health states. METHODS Hypothetical standardised health states related to HPV wer...
