The different human papillomavirus (HPV) strains cause warts in various regions of the body. However, considering that the status and genotype distribution of HPV infection in women in Shenyang remain unknown, herein, we investigated the epidemiological characteristics of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection in women in Shenyang, as well as the current state of HPV infection in Shenyang, to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. From December 2018 to December 2021, 6,432 urban and rural women from the Liaoning Cancer Hospital and the Sujiatun Women and Infants' Hospital were assessed via the Thinprep cytology test (TCT) and HR-HPV detection. Of the 5,961 women enrolled, 739 were HPV positive (12.40%) and 562 were TCT positive (9.43%). Statistical analyses identified the following HPV risk factors: high school education or lower [OR = 1.426 (1.199-1.696), < 0.001], age at first sexual encounter ≤ 19 years [OR = 1.496 (1.008-2.220), = 0.046], and number of sexual partners > 1 [OR = 1.382 (1.081-1.768), = 0.010], atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and above [OR = 10.788 (8.912-13.060), < 0.001], non-condom-based contraception [OR = 1.437 (1.103-1.871), = 0.007], nationalities other than Han [OR = 1.690 (1.187-2.406), = 0.004], rural residence [OR = 1.210 (1.031-1.419), = 0.020]. Compared to the HPV infection rate of women aged 56-65, that in women aged 35-45 [OR = 0.687 (0.549-0.860), = 0.001] and 46-55 [OR = 0.740 (0.622-0.879), = 0.001] decreased significantly. To conclude, risk factors of HPV infection among female patients include high school age and below, initial sexual encounter at age ≤ 19 years, number of sexual partners > 1, ASCUS and above, non-condom contraception, nationalities other than Han nationality and rural population. Collectively, this study provides insights for the improved prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common cancer among women globally, posing a significant mortality risk. Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary instigator of cervical cancer development, often alongside co-infection with other viruses, precipitating various malignancies. This study aimed to explore recent biotechnological advances in understanding HPV infection dynamics, host interactions, and its role in oncogenesis.

Identifying an optimal treatment method for verruca vulgaris can be a frustrating challenge for clinicians. We describe the use of a pinto bean pressure wrap to induce ischemic change in digital warts. This novel technique provides a low-cost, low-risk, and nearly pain-free home-based treatment option with response rates similar to those of other commonly employed methods.

Background: Risk of anal cancer is high in certain populations and screening involves collection of anal swabs for HPV DNA and/or cytology testing. However, barriers exist, such as the need for an intimate examination, and stigma around HIV status, sexual orientation, and sexual practices. Self-collected anal swabs (SCA) are a proposed alternative to clinician-collected swabs (CCA) to overcome these barriers.

Vaccine hesitancy is an attitude of indecision toward vaccination that is related to but not determinative of vaccination behaviors. Although theories of vaccine hesitancy emphasize it is often vaccine-specific, we do not know the extent to which this is true across sociodemographic groups. In this study, we asked: What latent classes of vaccine hesitancy might exist when examining parents' attitudes toward vaccines in general and COVID-19 and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination specifically? Which sociodemographic, health access, and health-related variables are predictive of membership in those classes? To answer those questions, we analyze online survey data from parents of pediatric patients recruited through eight clinics within the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Rural Research Network.
