Unusual Presentation of Non-Gestational Extragonadal Choriocarcinoma.
Cureus
November 2024
Oncology, University Hospital Waterford, Waterford, IRL.
Non-gestational choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare and highly aggressive malignant tumor that arises independent of gestational events, making less than 0.6% of all ovarian germ cell tumors. Unlike the more common gestational choriocarcinoma, which is associated with pregnancy, non-gestational choriocarcinoma originates from germ cells within the ovary.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a growing concern, necessitating improved surveillance methods due to limitations in traditional culturing techniques.
- A study analyzed 113 clinical specimens for N. gonorrhoeae using advanced molecular assays and sequencing technology, reporting a high success rate in generating accurate genomes from non-cultured samples.
- The findings indicate that the new method offers a reliable way to conduct genome-based surveillance of AMR in N. gonorrhoeae, enhancing our understanding of its epidemiology without requiring culture.
Performance and acceptability of self-collected specimens for diagnosis of rectal and pharyngeal Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections among men who have sex with men in China: a randomized controlled trial.
BMC Infect Dis

Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, 12 Jiangwangmiao Street, Nanjing, 210042, China.
Article Synopsis
- Extragenital Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are common among men who have sex with men (MSM), and self-sampling may provide easier access to testing for those hesitant to visit health clinics.
- A study conducted in China compared the diagnostic accuracy of self-collected specimens to clinician-taken specimens, analyzing samples from 325 participants at six STI clinics.
- The findings demonstrated high agreement and sensitivity of self-sampling for both CT and NG infections, with 62% of MSM showing a preference for self-sampling, indicating it’s an acceptable alternative to traditional clinician-based testing.
A Case of Syphilis Associated With Genital and Extragenital Hard Chancres, Inguinal Lymphadenitis, and Systemic Symptoms.
Cureus
October 2024
Department of Dermatology, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Hospital, Tokyo, JPN.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete (TP) subspecies . Syphilis can be transmitted via contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood or semen, congenital infection, blood transfusion, or organ transplantation. After a brief incubation period, the disease manifests with signs and symptoms such as genital ulcers, erythematous papules on the palms and soles, fever, and lymphadenopathy.

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition of unknown etiology that affects the genital and extragenital skin, which can lead to sexual dysfunction and has been associated with vulvar cancer. The vaginal microbiome has a critical role in gynecologic health, but little is known about the microbiome in lichen sclerosus. This study investigated the vaginal and vulvar microbiomes of 27 post-menopausal women with lichen sclerosus.
