Introduction: High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) has been detected in distant metastases from cervical cancer (CC) patients, suggesting a role of HPV.

Material And Methods: Here, we included 26 patients with recurrence of CC (2019-2023). With next generation sequencing (NGS) and immunohistochemical staining, primary and recurrent tissues were analyzed for HPV DNA and HPV RNA, p16 expression, and somatic TP53 and RB1 mutations.

Objective/background: Most children treated for obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB) are not systematically assessed by polysomnography (PSG) nor by structuredsymptom quantification before surgical treatment. The main objective of this study wasto investigate the effect of adeno-tonsillotomy (ATO) on symptom burden and PSGparameters.

Methods: Children aged 2-10 years with oSDB were selected for ATO based uponclinical findings according to current standards of care in Denmark.

For cervical cancer (CC), circulating cell-free HPV DNA (ccfHPV) may establish disease severity. Furthermore, HPV integration has been correlated to viral load and survival. In this study, pre-treatment plasma from 139 CC cases (50 primary surgery patients, 22 primary surgery + adjuvant oncological therapy patients, and 67 primary oncological therapy patients) was collected (2018-2020).

Objective: A systematic review of the evidence on the success of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) directed surgery in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) defined as cure rate.

Data Sources: The PRISMA guidelines were followed and three databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library) were searched for studies on DISE directed surgery in children.

Endpoints: Pre- and post-surgical change in polysomnography (PSG); change in surgical target; side effects.
