Safety of Conservative Management of High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion in Women Under 30 Years Old.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of conservative management in young women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study included women younger than 30 years referred with HSIL (cytology or biopsy) managed conservatively from 2012 to 2019, in Campinas/Brazil. Regression was the outcome when no evidence of HSIL was observed in at least two consecutive follow-ups.

Violence against women during pregnancy and postpartum period: a mixed methods study protocol.

Introduction: Violence against women is a public health problem that poses serious consequences for victims and their environments. The healthcare system struggles to assess this phenomenon during prenatal and postpartum care because of pregnant and postpartum women's potential vulnerabilities. The research protocol presents the aims to evaluate the prevalence of violence, the period(s) in which it occurs, aggressors and forms it takes as well as to explore how violence against women is perceived among pregnant and postpartum women.

COA6 is a mitochondrial complex IV assembly factor critical for biogenesis of mtDNA-encoded COX2.

Biogenesis of complex IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain requires assembly factors for subunit maturation, co-factor attachment and stabilization of intermediate assemblies. A pathogenic mutation in COA6, leading to substitution of a conserved tryptophan for a cysteine residue, results in a loss of complex IV activity and cardiomyopathy. Here, we demonstrate that the complex IV defect correlates with a severe loss in complex IV assembly in patient heart but not fibroblasts.

Segmental myoclonus as the sole manifestation of a choroid plexus papilloma in the posterior fossa. Case report.

The authors describe the case of a 22-year-old woman with involuntary contractions of the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles that resulted in turning movements of the head. The jerks displayed the clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of segmental myoclonus (SM) restricted to muscles supplied bilaterally by the first four cervical segments. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a tumor in the midline above the cisterna magna that was later histologically proven to be a choroid plexus papilloma.
