Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blotting were used to assess the prevalence of HPV in cervical biopsies of 100 women who were treated at the gynecology department of Telemark Central Hospital for non-cancerous conditions. Nine (9%) of the biopsies were HPV positive. Four (4%) were of HPV type 18, one (1%) was HPV11 positive, and four contained different unrecognized HPV types (HPVX). HPV16 was not detected.

Peritonsillar abscesses and deep neck infection are potentially serious infections among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), posing risks for severe complications and drawing significant public health concern. This nationwide, population-based longitudinal study (2002-2019) assessed the extended relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the likelihood of peritonsillar abscess and deep neck infection in a Korean cohort. Using a 1:4 propensity score overlap-weighted matching, we included 16,879 individuals with CKD and 67,516 comparable controls, accounting for demographic variables and comorbidities to ensure balanced group comparisons.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with discordant diagnostic patterns of HPV/p16 or HPV/p16 correlate with worse prognosis. This study aims to identify truly HPV-driven HNSCCs using a QuantiGene-Molecular-Profiling-Histology (QG-MPH) assay for identifying transcriptionally active HPV. Of 97 FFPE samples analyzed, 68 were valid for HPV DNA detection by PCR and quantification of HPV E7 and p16 mRNA by QG-MPH.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) represents a heterogeneous group of malignancies with increasing global incidence and notable mortality. Early detection is essential for improving survival rates and minimizing recurrence; however, existing diagnostic methods are often invasive and complex. There is a need for noninvasive and more effective approaches for early detection and real-time monitoring of HNC.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) have an overall poor prognosis, especially in locally advanced and metastatic stages. In most cases, multimodal therapeutic approaches are required and show only limited cure rates with a high risk of tumor recurrence. Anti-PD-1 antibody treatment was recently approved for recurrent and metastatic cases but to date, response rates remain lower than 25%.

Despite prevention strategies, cervical cancer remains a significant public health issue. Human papillomavirus plays a critical role in its development, and early detection is vital to improve patient outcomes. The incidence of cervical cancer is projected to rise, necessitating better diagnostic tools.
