Prevalence of HPV infection and anal and cervical cytological abnormalities in transgender people at a referral service in Vitória, Espírito Santo state, Brazil, between 2018 and 2021.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV and cytological alterations in the transgender population and contribute to the development of public policies.

Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in a transgender outpatient clinic in Vitória, Espírito Santo state, between 2018 and 2021. Data were collected through interviews and information from medical records.

The impact of labyrinthine magnetic resonance signal alterations on the treatment of sudden sensory-neural hearing loss.

Background: Sudden sensory-neural hearing loss SSNHL), with positive findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), possibly related to labyrinthine hemorrhage, is a rare condition and difficult to be diagnosed.

Objectives: We evaluated the role of MRI in detecting labyrinthine signal changes and the impact of these changes on the prognosis of SSNHL after the intratympanic corticosteroid injection.

Methods: A prospective study was held between January and June 2022.

Assessment of the ability of the radiological incudo-stapedial angle to predict the stapedotomy technique type: a prospective case-series study.

Purpose: This study aimed to propose a radiological classification of the incudo-stapedial angle by preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images and to highlight its importance for predicting the use of reversal-steps stapedotomy (RSS) rather than the traditional non-reversal technique.

Methods: We included 83 candidates for stapedotomy operation. Two physicians measured the radiological incudo-stapedial joint angle in the preoperative HRCT.

ATG5 as biomarker for early detection of malignant mesothelioma.

Objectives: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive disease with grim prognosis due to lack of effective treatment options. Disease prediction in association with early diagnosis may both contribute to improved MPM survival. Inflammation and autophagy are two processes associated with asbestos-induced transformation.
