Primary vulvar adenocarcinoma is a very rare neoplasm, accounting for only 1% of all gynecologic malignancies. Most of the glandular carcinomas originated from the Bartholin's gland. Because of the rare incidence, the pathogenesis and radiotherapy response are not fully understood. A 47-year-old female from our hospital was diagnosed with primary Bartholin adenocarcinoma and received radiotherapy as definitive treatment. We evaluated the presence of high-risk and low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA to associate the role of HPV infection, and evaluated its molecular features by the expression of vimentin, p16, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, S-100, and Ki 67.

Assessing occupational styrene exposure in the European and US Glass Reinforced Plastics Industry for the period between 1947 and 2020.

Int J Hyg Environ Health

December 2024

Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, Division of Population Health, Health Services Research and Primary Care, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Background: We aimed to develop a method for assessing occupational styrene exposures for application in epidemiological studies on risks of lymphohematopoietic neoplasms and other malignant and non-malignant diseases in the European and the US glass reinforced plastics industries.

Method: We estimated a linear mixed effects model based on individual airborne personal measurements of styrene from the glass reinforced plastics industry in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, UK, and the US. The most suitable model was chosen based on its predictive power as assessed using cross validation with different combinations of predictors; and by comparing their prediction errors.

Background: Many countries have introduced video consultations in primary care both inside and outside of office hours. Despite some relational and technical limitations, general practitioners (GPs) have reported the benefits of video use in the daytime as it provides faster and more flexible access to health care. Studies have indicated that video may be specifically valuable in out-of-hours primary care (OOH-PC), but additional information on the added value of video use is needed.
