[Cervical thoracic duct cyst: An uncommon entity].

Background: Cervical thoracic duct cysts are a rare anomaly.

Objective: To report a case of cervical thoracic duct cyst, and perform a literature review.

Clinical Case: A 78-year-old female, with a one-year history of a left-sided asymptomatic supraclavicular cystic mass.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA as a triage test after detection of HPV 16 and HPV 18 DNA.

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection provides high sensitivity but low specificity for moderate-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or worse histological identification. A prospective study evaluated mRNA testing efficacy for predicting this histological diagnosis in case of HPV 16 and/or 18 DNA detection. A total of 165 endocervical samples harboring HPV 16 and/or 18 DNA were tested with NucliSENS-EasyQ® HPV E6/E7-mRNA-assay (Biomerieux, Marcy l´Etoile, France).

Effect of pretreatment with interleukin-1 beta on inflammatory infiltrates and tissue damage after experimental endotoxic challenge.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of treatment with murine recombinant interleukin-1 beta on inflammatory infiltrate and tissue damage after experimental endotoxic challenge.

Design: Randomized, controlled study.

Setting: Experimental Unit, Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital.
