Article Synopsis
- HPV vulvitis is a controversial condition, but a study found high detection rates of specific HPV types in women diagnosed with it, as opposed to controls.
- In a sample of 19 women with HPV vulvitis, 84% tested positive for HPV DNA, with two novel HPV types found particularly prevalent in this group.
- The presence of HPV and associated symptoms, like burning, were significantly correlated, along with a higher occurrence of koilocytosis in vulvitis patients compared to non-condyloma controls.
Article Synopsis
- Molecular pathology advances are enhancing methods to detect disease predisposition, sub-clinical diseases, and improving diagnosis and treatment monitoring for melanoma.
- Current melanoma prognosis relies on histological and clinical factors, but limitations exist, such as the inability to detect distant metastasis in thin melanomas.
- New biomarkers related to melanoma progression could improve patient identification, treatment response monitoring, and potentially lead to better therapeutic options.
Article Synopsis
- The incidence and mortality rates of melanoma have stabilized for some demographics, likely due to educational efforts on prevention and improved detection.
- Early detection and removal of thinner melanomas are crucial for effective treatment, as there are no effective systemic therapies for metastatic cases.
- Advances in genomic research are expected to lead to new methods for identifying individuals at risk for melanoma and improving the use of biomarkers in its screening, diagnosis, and staging.
Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is common during childhood and rarely reported in infants. The four reported cases of AA in infants all exhibited circumscribed patches of alopecia that appeared at birth or shortly thereafter.
Objective: We report a case of alopecia areata universalis that developed after birth along with fingernail changes of shortening (onychomadesis) and onycholysis.
