Among women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), there is a high prevalence of papillomavirus (HPV) infections. However, little known about natural history HPV infections in HIV-seropositive women, and persistent may explain increased risk cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions invasive cancer women.
We examined associations between obesity, diabetes, and 3 adverse pregnancy outcomes--primary cesarean delivery, preterm birth, low birth-weight (LBW)--by racial/ethnic group. Our goal was to better understand how these differentially impact birth outcomes by group in order develop more focused interventions.

Conditions were defined for the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in outbred CO®-1 Swiss mice with use Corynebacterium parvum (CP) as priming agent and Escherichia coli endotoxin eliciting agent. Mice treated CP (1 mg/mouse) showed time- dose-dependent hepatosplenomegaly hypersensitivity to lethality. Serum TNF (as determined standard Meth A assay) was elicited by 25 μg iv beginning at 4 days post CP. At 6 injection, reached a maximum endotoxin, released little 0.25 μg. However, even...
