Background: Among the numerous human papillomavirus (HPV) types, only types 16 and 18 have been formally classified as human carcinogens. To evaluate the associations of 33 HPV types and other risk factors with squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix, we performed a hospital-based, case-control study in the Philippines.
Methods: The study included 356 case subjects who had histologically confirmed cervical cancer (323 incident cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 33 incident cases of adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma) and 381 control subjects. Information on risk factors was obtained by personal interview. HPV DNA was detected in exfoliated cervical cells and biopsy specimens by use of a polymerase chain reaction assay.
Results: HPV DNA was detected in 93.8% of case subjects with squamous cell carcinoma and in 90.9% of case subjects with adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma compared with 9.2% of control subjects, giving age-adjusted odds ratios of 156 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 87-280) for squamous cell carcinoma and 111 (95% CI = 31-392) for adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma. Fifteen different HPV types were detected in squamous cell carcinoma, and six different HPV types were detected in adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma. Among HPV types other than types 16 and 18, the associations of HPV with risk of squamous cell carcinoma were strongest for HPV45. In addition to HPV, high parity, low socioeconomic status, and smoking were also associated with both types of cervical cancer.
Conclusions: As has been shown for squamous cell carcinoma, HPV is the central cause of adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The observed associations of less prevalent HPV types with cervical cancer have important implications for cervical cancer prevention strategies.

Pigeons and certain other avian species produce a milk-like secretion in their crop sacs to nourish offspring, yet the detailed processes involved are not fully elucidated. This study investigated the crop sacs of 225-day-old unpaired non-lactating male pigeons (MN) and males initiating lactation on the first day after incubation (ML). Using RNA sequencing, ribosome profiling, and single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq), we identified a significant up-regulation of genes associated with ribosome assembly and protein synthesis in ML compared to MN.

The 2022 Oder River disaster was one of the most significant harmful events in recent European river history, with an estimated 60% reduction in fish biomass in the lower section of the river. While the prevailing hypothesis attributes associated fish kills to toxins from golden algae Prymnesium parvum, our histopathological study on the gills of 2 common cyprinid fish species, namely vimba bream Vimba vimba (L.) and roach Rutilus rutilus (L.

Background: Supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a significant portion of head and neck cancers, with the management of clinically negative necks (cN0) through selective neck dissection (SND) being debated due to potential morbidities and low metastasis rates in levels IIb and IV.
Methods: This study is a retrospective, multicenter examination of the potential feasibility of limited neck dissection (LND), including only levels IIa and III in cN0 supraglottic SCC patients. It analyzed occult metastasis rates and explored relapse occurrences alongside potential predictors of lymph node metastasis.

Introduction: Acute COVID-19 infection causes significant alterations in the innate and adaptive immune systems. While most individuals recover naturally, some develop long COVID (LC) syndrome, marked by persistent or new symptoms weeks to months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite its prevalence, there are no clinical tests to distinguish LC patients from those fully recovered.
