The role of HPV16 in oral cavity and laryngeal cancers in the United States.

In addition to oropharyngeal cancers, evidence suggests there may be an etiologic role for human papillomavirus (HPV) in some other head and neck cancers arising from the oral cavity and larynx. We estimated the burden of HPV16-attributable cancers of the oral cavity (ICD-O-3 site codes C02.0-C02.

The Long-Term Impact of Polysaccharide-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on Inflammatory-Stressed Mice.

Since iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are expected to be important tools in medical care, patients with inflammatory diseases will be increasingly exposed to IONPs in the future. Here, we assessed the short- and long-term impact of polysaccharide (PS)-coated IONPs on mice with persistent systemic inflammation. To this end, PS-IONPs were synthetized by a core-shell method.

Cognitive assessment in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): a cognitive substudy of the multi-site clinical assessment of ME/CFS (MCAM).

Introduction: Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) experience cognitive problems with attention, information processing speed, working memory, learning efficiency, and executive function. Commonly, patients report worsening of cognitive symptoms over time after physical and/or cognitive challenges. To determine, monitor, and manage longitudinal decrements in cognitive function after such exposures, it is important to be able to screen for cognitive dysfunction and changes over time in clinic and also remotely at home.
