Objective: To examine the association between YouTube usage and HPV-related cancer knowledge (cervical, anal, oral and penile).
Study Design: Cross-sectional study using data from the Health Information National Trends survey conducted between 2017 and 2020 ( = 16,092). Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent effect of YouTube use on cancer knowledge, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics.
Results: Respondents' knowledge of HPV-related cancers varied: 49.9% about cervical, 18% anal, 20.1% oral and 20.4% penile cancers. YouTube use was associated with increased knowledge for all cancers (cervical: OR 2.66, 95% CI 2.04, 3.46; anal: OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.32, 2.53; oral: OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.37, 2.61; penile OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.44, 2.77) in models adjusted for all covariates. Other independent predictors of HPV-related cancer knowledge included female gender, younger age, a higher income, and higher education.
Conclusions: YouTube could play an important role in educating people about HPV-related cancers and should also target other populations, such as males and those with less formal education.
Innovation: The study provides novel insights into the potential of YouTube as an educational tool for promoting cancer knowledge with the goal of cancer prevention.

In recent years, the role of coenzymes, particularly those from the vitamin B group in modulating the activity of metalloenzymes has garnered significant attention in cancer treatment strategies. Metalloenzymes play pivotal roles in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, cell signaling, and metabolism, making them promising targets for cancer therapy. This review explores the complex interplay between coenzymes, specifically vitamin Bs, and metalloenzymes in cancer pathogenesis and treatment.

Different types of feline papillomaviruses (PVs) are associated with a variety of skin lesions and neoplasia, such as papillomas and cell carcinomas, but the virus can also be found in healthy skin. In this review, the European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases (ABCD), a scientifically independent board of veterinary experts on feline infectious diseases from 11 European Countries, discusses the current knowledge of feline PV infections. Cats most likely become infected through lesions or abrasions of the skin.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a serious metabolic disorder, is a worldwide health problem due to the alarming rise in prevalence and elevated morbidity and mortality. Chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and ineffective insulin effect and secretion are hallmarks of T2DM, leading to many serious secondary complications. These include, in particular, cardiovascular disorders, diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy, diabetic foot, osteoporosis, liver damage, susceptibility to infections and some cancers.

: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment (TME), influencing the progression, prognosis, and response to treatment in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its precursors, oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). This scoping review assesses the current literature on TILs in the TME of OSCC and OPMDs, aiming to identify trends and gaps in the research. : A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, using the following query terms: "Tumor Microenvironment AND (mouth neoplasms OR oral lichen OR leukoplakia OR oral lichenoid OR dysplasia OR GVHD OR lupus)".
