Objective: To compare health care indicators for adults with medical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Brazil, in 2013 and 2019, and analyze the indicators for 2019 according to sociodemographic characteristics.
Methods: Cross-sectional study using data from the 2013 and 2019 National Health Survey. Care indicators were evaluated in people with medical diagnosis of DM.
Objectives: To compare the use of topical 5% imiquimodt (IMQ) cream or CO2 laser vaponization as the treatment of vulvar inmraepithelial lesions (VIN) 2/3 and to evaluate the degrees of residual or recurrent lesions.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine women with VIN 2/3 were separated into two groups, according to the proposed treatments. All were submitted to collection of vulvar swabs for DNA genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV), vulvoscopy, and biopsy of the found lesions.
We verified the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 protein mRNA expression in patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs) and negative cervicovaginal cytology. To investigate the relationship between mRNA expression and viral infection type, we assessed genotyping in single infections. Samples from 825 women were submitted to the E6/E7 survey.

These results were also compared to the persistence and/or recurrence of lesions after loop electrosurgical excision procedure. Cervical samples from 158 patients were divided into three groups according to the presence or absence of HSIL in women who were or were not HIV-positive.
