To determine the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) genotypes in relation to cervical cytology, 1,290 cervical samples from a regularly screened population of 30-55-year-old women were investigated. Gynaecological specimens, obtained from the cervix, were cytologically classified and screened for the presence of HPVs 6/11 and 16/18 using dot-spot DNA hybridisation. Of the cervical samples containing unequivocally normal cells, 21 of 1,271 (1.6%) were found positive for HPV, and of the cervical samples containing cells with mild dysplasia, 6 of 14 (43%) were found positive for HPV. All five samples containing cells consistent with severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ were found positive for HPV. Approximately 50% of the HPV-positive samples contained HPV 16 and/or HPV 18 DNA.

Background: This study aimed to investigate and analyze the current status of oral disease treatment among the older adult in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, while also assessing the continuing medical education (CME) needs of dental institution personnel regarding oral diseases in this population.
Methods: Convenience sampling was used to investigate the oral disease treatment among older adults and to assess CME needs of dental institution personnel regarding oral diseases in this population across various oral medical and health institutions in Guangxi.
Results: A total of 754 valid questionnaires were collected, of which 70.

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer worldwide, causing morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries like Nigeria. It develops from premalignant lesions of the cervix. Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) increases the risk of dysplastic changes in the cervix.

Background And Purpose: Understanding the cellular and molecular effect of proton radiation, particularly the increased DNA damage complexity at the distal end of the Bragg curve, is current topic of investigation. This work aims to study clonogenic survival and DNA damage foci kinetics of a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line at various positions along a double passively scattered Bragg curve. Complementary studies are conducted to gain insights into the link between cell survival variations, experimentally yielded foci and the number and complexity of double strand breaks (DSBs).

In cattle, expression of IFN-stimulated genes in the female reproductive tract has been reported as an early pregnancy diagnostic tool, as early as d 17 of pregnancy. The hypothesis of this study was that expression of in the cervix of pregnant heifers is increased on d 14 of pregnancy. The objective was to compare the expression of in cervical cells between pregnant and cyclic heifers (control, sham-inseminated) on d 14, 16, and 18 after insemination (d 0).

Aim: This study aimed to reestimate the prevalence of hearing loss based on the updated World Health Organization hearing loss classification and investigate whether existing hearing screening criteria could efficiently screen for frailty or cognitive deficit.
Methods: Data collected from community dwellers aged 40-91 years included 2325 samples. Health checkup hearing screening used were as follows: (A) 30 dB both at 1 and 4 kHz and (B) 30 dB at 1 kHz and 40 dB at 4 kHz were used.
