A 20-year follow-up (1975-1994) in urological clinic of 107 males with benign tumors of the urethra (BTU) has determined that most commonly encountered BTU comprise viral papillomas (67.3%), polyps (22.4%), angiomas (10.3%). Viral papillomas and angiomas locate as a rule in the hanging urethra, while polyps arise both in the anterior and posterior portions. Urethral polyps and angiomas manifest most frequently with hemospermia, urethrorrhagia and terminal macrohematuria after coitus or exertion. Chronic nonspecific urethritis is thought to be a factor predisposing to urethral condylomas and polyps. Viral papillomas originate from the external orifice and Morgagni fossa spreading proximally. BTU are diagnosed primarily at urethroscopy and managed with transurethral resection, electrocoagulation, partial urethral resection which proved curative in many cases.

Background: T cells are involved in every stage of tumor development and significantly influence the tumor microenvironment (TME). Our objective was to assess T-cell marker gene expression profiles, develop a predictive risk model for human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) utilizing these genes, and examine the correlation between the risk score and the immunotherapy response.

Methods: We acquired scRNA-seq data for HPV-negative OSCC from the GEO datasets.

Background: Cervical cancer is a significant health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries like India, where it ranks fourth among women. The Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, a vital preventive measure, has suboptimal uptake among nursing students. We aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, willingness, and reasons for non-uptake of HPV vaccination among nursing students.

squamous cell carcinoma is a recently recognized entity characterized by a non-viral-related non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma with chromosomal rearrangement between on 6p22.3 and on Xq28. This neoplasm is associated with an aggressive clinical behavior, particularly regarding local recurrences and distant metastases even with its deceptively bland histomorphology.

This study aimed to detect the presence of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) in the testicular tissue of bulls over 1-year old by immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence and molecular assay targeting methods. In addition, γH2AX and cytochrome c expressions were evaluated by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent methods in samples positive for BPV agent. In this study, 100 testicular specimens that did not show any macroscopic papilloma findings were collected.

Papillomaviruses (PVs) frequently infect humans as well as non-human species. While most PV infections are asymptomatic, PVs can also cause hyperplastic papillomas (warts) as well as pre-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. In this review, the life cycle of PVs is discussed, along with the mechanisms by which PVs cause hyperplastic and neoplastic diseases.
