Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main aethiological factor in the development of squamous cervical neoplasia. Nowadays molecular hybridization is the most adequated method to detect HPV. Study is based on the HPV assay by means of mixed hybridization and capture of specific sequences of viral DNA. Detection of HPV by hybridization and capture is a very useful technique in patients with non-definitive cytologies of viral action, but that display high clinical suspect for such a infection. The cervical cancer screening increases its sensibility and specificity by a combined study of cytology and hibridization. The highest benefit is for those cases classified initially as ASCUS, in which the HPV results point out a more accurate diagnosis and guide subsequent adequate therapy. The results show that for normal cytology up to 87.1% was negative for virus, in the ASCUS group a 56.76% was positive for HPV, in the 32 LSIL cases a 43.8% was negative for HPV, while only a 33% of the HSIL II was negative, finally there were no negative cases for HSIL III, finding an 11.1% for low risk and low plus high risk, and a 77.8% for high risk alone. In spite of the clear relationship between cytology and HPV determination, one must be careful in establishing the treatment for the cases that displayed high risk HPV with cytology within normal limits or ASCUS. We consider these patients as high risk ones thus being suitable for a more strict follow up, keeping more aggressive procedures for the cases with cytologic manifestations.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that arises during pregnancy and heightens the risk of placental dysplasia. Ginsenoside Re (Re) may stabilize insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose levels, which may improve diabetes-associated diseases. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Re in high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis of trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related protein CHOP/GADD153.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Amiodarone-Induced Thyroid Dysfunction: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study.

Am J Cardiovasc Drugs

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Ilsan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Goyang, Republic of Korea.

Background: Amiodarone is an effective anti-arrhythmic drug; however, it is frequently associated with thyroid dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factor of amiodarone-induced dysfunction in an iodine-sufficient area.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 27,023 consecutive patients treated with amiodarone for arrhythmia, using the Korean National Health Insurance database.

Introduction: There is a lack of clinical evidence supporting the decision-making process between high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicomparmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in gray zone indication, such as moderate medial osteoarthritis with moderate varus alignment. This study compared the outcomes between HTO and UKA in such cases and assessed the risk factor for not maintaining clinical improvements.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 65 opening-wedge HTOs and 55 UKAs with moderate medial osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 3 and Ahlback grade < 3) and moderate varus alignment (5°< Hip-Knee-Ankle angle < 10°) over 3 years follow-up.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory airway disease with high incidence and significant disease burden. R-loops, functional chromatin structure formed during transcription, are closely associated with inflammation due to its aberrant formation. However, the role of R-loop regulators (RLRs) in COPD remains unclear.
