Article Synopsis
- HPV can infect host cells and lead to varied outcomes, including mild symptoms or serious health issues like cancer due to viral proteins that disrupt normal cell growth.
- Glycyrrhizinic acid (Gly), found in liquorice, has shown promise in studies for its antiviral and anticancer properties, specifically by decreasing levels of HPV's harmful proteins and triggering cell death in cervical cancer cells.
- The review discusses Gly's various mechanisms of action and clinical research supporting its potential as a treatment for HPV, whether applied topically or taken orally.
Objective: To analyse the psychometric properties of the Cervantes scale short-form (SF) in the peri- and post-menopausal periods.
Methods: Outpatients women 45-65 years with menstrual problems associated with the climacteric syndrome were analysed. Original and SF versions of the Cervantes scale were administered along with the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) and work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire (WPAI) scales.
