Background: Vaccine hesitancy, delaying or refusing to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines, impedes the progress of achieving optimal HPV vaccine coverage. Little is known about the sources of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine hesitancy among racially/ethnically and geographically diverse communities. The purpose of this paper is to explore HPV vaccine hesitancy among rural, Slavic, and Latino communities that reside in counties with low HPV vaccine uptake rates.

Objective: To collect and examine data pertaining to the clinical presentation and management of patients with chromoblastomycosis.
Methods: Through a retrospective study, a pathology medical record search was performed from January 2004 to December 2020 at a single institution.
Soleus muscle injuries are frequently unrecognized, representing a common cause of sports inactivity. This is mainly because little is known about the anatomy of the soleus muscle and the clinical manifestations of injury. Unlike other muscles, the soleus muscle has a complex myoconnective structure with three intramuscular tendons, which makes the interpretation of muscle pathologic conditions challenging.

Methods: Eighteen Tennis players with chronic, recalcitrant LET (who have previously been unsuccessfully treated with nonoperative treatments) underwent clinical evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before intervention. Stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) were expanded by in vitro culture and ASCs were obtained and characterized by flow cytometry.
Background: Acute injuries of the hamstring muscle complex (HMC) type 3b (interfascicle/bundle-tear) are frequently observed in various sports disciplines both in elite and recreational sport. The treatment of choice of acute HMC injuries type 3b is a progressive physiotherapeutic exercise programme. Besides this, there is currently only insufficient scientific evidence to support other treatment methods, including local infiltrations and injections of platelet-rich-plasma.
