The objective of this study was to analyze the association between bacterial vaginosis (BV) and squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). Pap smears were analyzed to verify the presence of BV and SIL. One hundred and ten women with SIL comprised the study group, while 110 women with no cytological abnormalities served as controls. BV was similarly present in women of both groups: 18% of women with SIL and 12% of women without SIL. Results were also similar when the grade of SIL was taken into consideration. BV was detected in 16% of women with low-grade SIL and in 12% of women in the control group, while a higher rate of BV (33%) was found among women with high-grade SIL in comparison to the controls (12%). This difference, however, was not statistically significant. BV tended to be more common among women with high-grade SIL than in women with no cytological abnormalities.

Objectives: To study the clinical characteristics and prognosis of T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and related prognostic factors.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the children with T-ALL who were treated with the Chinese Children's Cancer Group Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CCCG-ALL) regimen in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between April 2015 and December 2022.
Results: A total of 80 children were included, with a median age of 7 years and 3 months and a male/female ratio of 6:1.

The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LACN) is the sensory branch of the musculocutaneous nerve and usually innervates the lateral aspect of the forearm. Isolated lesions are rare, of varied aetiology and generally underdiagnosed. We present a retrospective descriptive study of electromyography performed at the General University Hospital of Castellón in the last 20 years with isolated NCAL lesion.

Article Synopsis
- - In South Africa, a study focused on women living with HIV (WLHIV) found a high prevalence of high-risk HPV infections, with 67.3% testing positive, particularly HPV16 and HPV18/45 types being common.
- - Many participants (91.3%) had never been screened for cervical cancer, and a significant portion (33.3%) showed abnormal cervical cytology results, strongly correlating this with HPV positivity.
- - The research emphasizes the importance of early HIV diagnosis and treatment, as well as regular cervical cancer screenings, particularly for those with low CD4 cell counts, to reduce cervical cancer risks among WLHIV.

Epigenetic modulators have recently emerged as potential targets in cancer therapy. Breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally and the most common cancer in India, continues to have a low survival rate despite available treatments. This underscores the urgent need for more effective therapeutic strategies.

Background: This study represents a follow-up analysis of the (ANGY) study.
Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, single-center study recruited women for concomitant cervical and anal screening of HPV genotypes and cytology during a single appointment. All women with findings of either HPV or any type of dysplastic lesions on anal smears were offered follow-up in a specialized high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) outpatient clinic, representing the study cohort for this follow-up study.
