Abstract HIV viral reservoirs are established very early during infection. Resident memory T cells (T RM ) present in tissues such as the lower female genital tract, but contribution of this subset to pathogenesis and persistence remains unclear. Here, we show that cervical CD4 + display a unique repertoire clusters differentiation, with enrichment several molecules associated infection susceptibility, longevity self-renewing capacities. These protein profiles enriched fraction expressing...
Abstract Background Cytoreductive surgery followed by systemic chemotherapy is the standard of treatment in advanced ovarian cancer where feasible. Neoadjuvant (NACT) applicable upfront cytoreductive not feasible because few certain reasons. Nevertheless, surgical interventions and itself may be associated with postoperative complications usually entailing slow recovery. Prehabilitation programs consist patient’s preparation before to improve functional capacity. The aim this study was...
The aim of this paper is to reflect on the importance taking a broader and more comprehensive (and, above all, social cultural) approach when problematizing dietary patterns in terms sustainability. In regard, building cultural capital around medicalized concept such as Mediterranean diet, addition being used legitimize actions carried out from field health, allows highlighting value denomination. This article also analyzes how certain aimed at valuing related inscription intangible heritage...
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) prophylactic vaccination has proven effective in preventing new infections, but it does not treat existing HPV infections or associated diseases. Hence, there is still an important reservoir of adults, as programs are mainly focused on young women. The primary objective this non-randomized, open-label trial to evaluate if a 3-dose regimen Gardasil-9 HPV16/18-positive women could reduce the infective capacity their body fluids. We aim assess vaccine-induced...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and prehabilitation programs are multidisciplinary care pathways that aim to reduce stress response improve perioperative outcomes. However, literature is limited regarding the impact of ERAS in gynecologic oncology surgery. The this study was assess implementing an program on post-operative outcomes endometrial cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.We evaluated consecutive laparoscopy for followed at a single center. A pre-intervention cohort...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and prehabilitation programs are multidisciplinary care pathways to reduce stress response improve perioperative outcomes, which also include nutritional interventions. The aim of this study is assess the impact protein supplementation with 20 mg per day before in a program postoperative serum albumin, prealbumin, total proteins endometrial cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods: A prospective including who underwent laparoscopy for...
Obesity is a disease that straddles medico-nutritional, psychological, and socio-cultural boundaries. There clear relationship between lifestyle obesity, today the Mediterranean diet in area may represent an interesting corrective asset. However, we should not be under any misapprehension about model’s capacity for action non-nutritional terms. Our societies are experiencing process of rapid change, no exception. The aim this article to present view obesity context from open, mainly...
Abstract To assess the impact of CD133 expression on prognosis endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC). We retrospectively assessed in tissue microarray 116 surgically treated FIGO I-III EEC. Tumors with ≥10% CD133-expressing cells were considered CD133-positive (CD133+). On basis expression, clinical and pathological parameters, progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) evaluated. Of EEC studied 85.2% showed cells. Only 61% (n = 66) presented expressing CD133+. The mean OS for CD133+...
The aim of the study was to determine usefulness human papillomavirus (HPV) partial genotyping test in triage newly diagnosed low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs).We analyzed 143 patients with LSIL de novo. Lesions were classified as positive for HPV 16 or 18, but not 18 (HPVno16no18) no detected (HPVneg). Patients followed a period 2 years until lesion progressed. We calculated absolute and relative risks progression regression according result.The mean (SD) age 33.8 (11.1)...

<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Standard management of ovarian cancer often requires a midline abdominal incision that allows exposure the entire abdomen. However, this type incisions is associated to major wall defects and complications. On other hand, it known obesity with complications including impairments cutaneous wound healing, total failure fascial dehiscence. <h3>Methodology</h3> The objective study was evaluate impact BMI on in large cohort patients undergoing laparotomy establish...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Gynecological cancers, including cervical cancer, ovarian endometrial and vulva cancer are leading causes of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Habits diet play an important role development, which is widely accepted. Vitamin D a fat-soluble vitamin that plays prevention by regulating cellular proliferation metabolism. However, the impact levels gynecological cancers poorly studied. The aim this study was to describe prevalence Vit-D deficiency...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Intra-abdominal isolated recurrences of ovarian cancer can be difficult to localize or accessed particularly when it may resected using minimally invasive approaches (MIS). <h3>Methodology</h3> We report on our experience a preoperative combined isotopic and sonographic- guided harpoon technique locate resect an nodule 25mm, located next the splenic hilium in 65 y.o. advanced patient, after 4 years being disease free. <h3>Results</h3> A laparoscopic approach...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours (SLCTs) are a rare, sex cord-stromal ovarian that mostly affect young women represent less than 0.5% of all tumours. They have very poor prognosis since its relapse rate is up to 95% within 5 years after the diagnosis. . Clinical management SLCTs remains critical challenge due limited available data and clinical experience. <h3>Methodology</h3> We report case 29 year-old-women diagnosed SLCT FIGO stage IC2 left adnexectomy...
Objective Incisional hernias are a common complication of midline laparotomies. The aim this study was to determine the impact prophylactic mesh placement after laparotomy for ovarian tumors on incidence incisional hernia. Methods We collected retrospective data from patients undergoing borderline or cancer with at least 12 months follow-up, including those and without mesh. Patient demographics, preoperative characteristics risk factors hernia were reported grouped according placement. A...
