This cross-sectional study examined the distribution of HPV 58 sequence variation in Korean women for the first time. Among 1,750 Korean women, 53 women were positive for HPV 58 single infection, of whom 26 were without disease, 20 were with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1, and 7 with CIN 2 or 3. Altogether, 36 different nucleotide sequence variations were identified with the L1, 20 within E2, 5 within E6, and 10 within E7. Further studies on variants of oncogenic HPVs are necessary, particularly for the purpose of developing more predictive HPV detection methods.

Outcomes after medical treatment for primary aldosteronism: an international consensus and analysis of treatment response in an international cohort.

Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol

January 2025

Centre for Endocrinology and Metabolism, Hudson Institute of Medical Research, Clayton, VIC, Australia; Department of Endocrinology, Monash Health, Clayton, VIC, Australia.

Background: Primary aldosteronism can be treated medically but there is no standardised method to evaluate treatment outcomes. We aimed to develop criteria for assessing the outcomes of targeted medical treatment of primary aldosteronism, analyse outcomes across an international cohort, and identify factors associated with a complete treatment response.

Methods: An international panel of 31 primary aldosteronism experts used the Delphi method to reach consensus on the definition of complete, partial, or absent biochemical and clinical outcomes of medical treatment of primary aldosteronism.

The Role of A Beautiful Appearance in the Redemption of Female Ghosts.

J Craniofac Surg

November 2024

Department of Plastic Surgery, Armed Forces Capital Hospital, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-City, Gyeonggi-do, and Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

In the literature on ghosts, entries on female ghosts highlight their "beautiful appearance": Arang (Korean), Otsuyu (Japanese), The White Lady (Europe), Nie Xiaoqian (Chinese), and Maria Makiling (Filipino). Ghosts are women who died tragically, leaving behind unfulfilled desires-particularly those related to romantic or societal expectations such as marriage, love, and motherhood.

This study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort Database of South Korea (2002-2019).
