Objective: To determine the proportion of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3 (CIN 2/3) despite testing negative for HPV.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted at a university hospital in Barcelona, Spain, between March 2003 and January 2015 among women with abnormal cytology results according to the Bethesda classification system. All participants underwent HPV testing, cytology, and colposcopy.
Results: Among 1376 participants, 609 (44.3%) were diagnosed with CIN 2/3. Of these women, 74 (12.2%) tested negative for HPV. Among 479 women with colposcopy-guided biopsy sampling showing CIN 2/3, cone biopsy results that were negative for CIN 2/3 were more frequent among patients with negative HPV testing (13/61 [21.3%]) than among those with positive HPV tests (58/418 [13.9%]; P=0.03). Additionally, among 59 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, 9 (15.3%) tested negative for HPV.
Conclusion: The HPV test was negative for 12% and 15% of patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven CIN 2/3 and cervical cancer, respectively.

TracMyAir smartphone application for modeling exposures to PM and ozone - Integration with air quality networks and location-activity sensors.

Epidemiologic studies of ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O) often use outdoor concentrations from central-site monitors or air quality model estimates as exposure surrogates, which can result in exposure errors. We previously developed an exposure model called TracMyAir, which is an iPhone application that determines seven tiers of individual-level exposure metrics for ambient PM and O using outdoor concentrations, home building characteristics, weather, time-activities. The exposure metrics with increasing information needs and complexity include: outdoor concentration (C, Tier 1), building infiltration factor (F, Tier 2), indoor concentration (C, Tier 3), time spent in microenvironments (ME) (T, Tier 4), personal exposure factor (F, Tier 5), exposure (E, Tier 6), and inhaled dose (D, Tier 7).

Objective: To determine the safety, tolerance, and adherence to self-administered intravaginal 5% fluorouracil (5FU) cream as adjuvant therapy following cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3 (CIN2/3) treatment among women living with HIV (WLWH) in Kenya.
Methods: A phase I pilot trial was performed among 12 WLWH in Kenya, aged 18-49 years between March 2023 and February 2024 (ClinicalTrial.gov NCT05362955).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the occurrence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in 65 women who underwent hysterosalpingography (HSG) for infertility evaluations.
- The results showed a CIN rate of 12.3% among participants, with a significant difference in baseline serum creatinine levels between women with and without CIN.
- Baseline serum creatinine levels were identified as an independent risk factor for developing CIN following the HSG procedure.

There are three distinct forms of autophagy, namely, macroautophagy, microautophagy, and HSPA8 chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). While macroautophagy is widely recognized as a regulator of chromosomal instability (CIN) through various pathways, the contributions of CMA and microautophagy to CIN remain uncertain. , a conserved gene in vertebrates, is frequently mutated and down-regulated in numerous human cancers.
