Gynaecological Oncology Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0028, South Africa.
Background: Cervical cancer prevention in regions with limited access to screening and HPV vaccination necessitates innovative approaches. This study explored the potential of a test-and-treat strategy using mRNA HPV tests to impact cervical cancer prevention in a high-prevalence HIV population.
Methods: A cervical screening study was conducted at three South African hospitals involving 710 under-screened, non-pregnant women (25 to 65 years) without known cervical diseases.

Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the characteristics of salivary gland tumors (SGTs) in Sudanese patients over a ten-year period, focusing on their frequency and type, with a total of 150 cases reviewed.
- - Out of the cases, 70% were benign and mostly occurred in the parotid and submandibular glands, with pleomorphic adenoma being the most common benign tumor.
- - The findings indicated a greater incidence of SGTs in males and highlighted the importance of understanding these tumors for better diagnosis and treatment in Sudan.
Posttraumatic Natural Killer Cell Decrease is Associated with Septic Complications.
J Surg Res
February 2022
Department of Surgery, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Gauteng, South Africa.
Background: There has been paucity in prospective studies investigating trauma-induced changes in the cellular immunity of HIV-seropositive patients and their impact on the clinical outcome after trauma surgery. The role of natural killer (NK) cells especially has not yet been fully elucidated, and the function of this lymphocyte subtype in the immune defense after trauma is still under debate.
Methods: This prospective study included patients requiring surgery for abdominal gunshot wounds.
