[Human papillomavirus infection (HPV) and pregnancy].

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection worldwide, which may result in the development in benign lesions or malignant tumors.

[Prediction of bowel damage in patients with gastroschisis].

Introduction: Gastroschisis is the most common malformation among abdominal wall defects with the incidence of 1:45000 live birth neonates. Postoperative care for these patients is very difficult due to the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome. The identification of markers that correlate with bowel damage in gastroschisis may prevent this serious postoperative complication.

Quality of life in patients with gastroschisis is comparable with the general population: A questionnaire survey.

Aim: To evaluate long-term quality of life and somatic growth of patients with gastroschisis and compare them with the general population.

Methods: We performed a questionnaire survey of the quality of life of our patients treated between 2004-2012.

Results: A questionnaire was sent to our 56 patients with gastroschisis, 38 mothers of patients (68%) responded to the questionnaire.
