Abstract Background HPV and C.trachomatis are the most prevalent, viral bacterial STI worldwide. Both commonly have an asymptomatic development can evolve into a persistent infection which, added to coinfections, may be important cofactors for oncogenic transformation. Objective Evaluate prevalence of oral genital in women with normal abnormal cervical cytology. Study design The cross-sectional...

Background: It is generally accepted that the parasympathetic nerve predominates in patients with nasal allergies. On the other hand, resection or local anesthetic block of the cervical sympathetic ganglion has been proven to cause ipsilateral hyperaemia, swelling, and hypersecretion of the nasal mucosa. It is interesting to study noradrenergic nerve fluorescence in the nasal mucosa of rhinitis...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Pap smears are the most common and inexpensive screening method for cervical cancer. We analyzed micronucleus prevalence in exfoliated cervical mucosa cells, to investigate associations between increased numbers of micronuclei and risk factors for cervical cancer. DESIGN AND SETTING Analytical cross-sectional study, at Instituto de Pesquisa em Oncologia (IPON). METHODS...

Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) antibodies are the first line of defence at the genital mucosa, and are thought to hinder viral infections by binding to conformational epitopes on the viral capsid. To investigate if cervical sIgA binds to conformational epitopes of the Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), cervical mucus samples from 109 HPV16-infected patients were examined in a HPV16 virus-...

Memory T cells that home to inflamed tissues typically express the beta-chemokine receptor CCR5 and exhibit a Th1 cytokine profile. The migration of these cells into the genital tract following antigenic exposure has particular relevance to acquisition of HIV-1 infection, because CCR5 functions as the coreceptor for most sexually transmitted HIV-1 strains. We recently established methodology to...

conclusions our data has provided baseline information about epidemiologic aspects of oral mucosal lesions which can be valuable in organized national program targeting on oral health and hygiene in the society. results the prevalence of mucosal lesions in our study was 19.4%. our data demonstrated higher prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in males and young adults (30-40 years). the most commo...

Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare malignancy, only accounting for approximately 2% of all salivary neoplasms. Considered the malignant counterpart basal cell adenoma, it most commonly presents at 60 years age without gender predilection. Sites involvement frequently includes parotid gland, but sites in minor glands, nasopharynx, buccal mucosa, and tongue have also been reported. Often ...

INTRODUCTION Oral Verrucous Carcinoma (OVC) is described apart of the Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) due to its specific properties. The objective of our study is to show our series of cases of OVC and to compare with the SCC in terms of clinical manifestations, epidemiology, histopathology, treatment and follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of all the OVC treated in o...
