Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes nearly all cervical cancers and some of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, oropharynx (1).* Most HPV infections are asymptomatic clear spontaneously within 1 to 2 years; however, persistent infection with oncogenic types can lead development precancer or cancer (2). In United States, 9-valent vaccine (9vHPV) is available protect against 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 as well nononcogenic 6 11 that cause genital warts. CDC analyzed data from U.S. Cancer Statistics...
Cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx account for 3% cancers diagnosed in United States* each year.Cancers at these sites can differ anatomically histologically might have different causal factors, such as tobacco use, alcohol infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) (1).Incidence combined pharyngeal declined during 1980s but began to increase around 1999 (2,3).Because use has States, accompanied by a decrease incidence many tobaccorelated cancers, researchers suggested that be attributed...
Abstract Background Despite advances to prevent and detect cervical cancer, national targets for screening have not been met in the United States. Previous studies suggested that approximately half of women who developed cancer were adequately screened. This study aimed provide an updated examination women's diagnostic practices five years prior invasive diagnosis. Methods The included age 21 older diagnosed with 2013–2016 from three population‐based state registries Medical records...
Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of new cases and cancer-related deaths among women in India, with an estimated 96,922 60,078 each year.* Despite availability effective low-cost screening options limited access to treatment services, diagnosis at a later stage, low investment health care infrastructure all contribute high number (1). In 2016 Ministry Health Family Welfare India recommended cervical using visual inspection acetic acid every 5 years for aged 30-65 (per World...
Background Since the mid‐1980s, burden of liver cancer in United States has doubled, with 31,411 new cases and 24,698 deaths occurring 2014. Foreign‐born individuals may be more likely to die than general US‐born population because higher rates hepatitis B infection, a low socioeconomic position, language barriers that limit receipt early detection effective treatment. Methods To determine whether mortality were among foreign‐born versus States, population‐based data obtained from National...
Abstract Background Incidence of anal squamous cell carcinoma is increasing, but vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) and removal precancerous lesions could prevent new cases. The overall HPV-associated cancer incidence reported to be higher in rural populations counties with lower economic status. We assessed these differences specifically for described the geographic, county-level economic, sociodemographic variations rates trends. Methods analyzed data from US Cancer Statistics...
Global and local efforts have been devoted to increase the supply of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent qualitative studies suggest that even with free ART, patients may fail adhere medication because socioeconomic barriers such as transportation costs clinics. The aim this study was measure adherence a population receiving ART examine adherence. Adherence measured using pill count self-report methods among 140 HIV-positive at four PEPFAR-facilitated clinics Kayunga,...
The aim of the study was to provide national estimates Pap test receipt, by birthplace, and percent lifetime in United States (US).
We evaluate the potential for using high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) testing-based screening cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in routine health services Thailand; its accuracy comparison to that of conventional cytology (CC); and utility HPV16/18 positive results liquid-based (LBC) triage HPV-positive women detection high-grade CIN. Women aged 30-60 years Ubon Ratchathani province, Thailand were screened with CC hr-HPV testing those abnormal on either tests referred colposcopy...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers and some of the penis, vulva, vagina, oropharynx, anus. Cervical precancers can be detected through screening. HPV vaccination with 9-valent vaccine (9vHPV) prevent approximately 92% HPV-attributable (1).* Previous studies have shown lower incidence HPV-associated in non-Hispanic American Indian Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations compared other racial subgroups (2); however, these rates might been underestimated as a result...
Background. Circumcision and lower human papillomavirus (HPV) viral loads in men are possibly associated with a reduced risk of HPV transmission to women. However, the association between male circumcision load remains unclear. Methods. Swab specimens from glans shaft penis were collected enrolled trial Kisumu, Kenya. GP5+/6+ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used identify DNA types. HPV-16 HPV-18 measured LightCycler real-time PCR classified as high (>250 copies/scrape) or low (≤250...
Background Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) is the most common curable sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, human immunodeficiency virus transmission, and preterm birth in women. Data on prevalence factors for TV sub-Saharan African countries remain scarce. Methods A total 350 Kenyan female sex workers, aged 18 to 50 years, participated a 2-year longitudinal study acquisition STIs, including infection. Every 3 months,...
Purpose The introduction of clinical doctorate degrees in several health professions has fueled the debate about an entry-level physician assistant profession. However, there is limited knowledge attitudes students toward obtaining a doctorate. Methods All 147 accredited programs United States were invited to participate Web-based survey conducted January 2010; any program year eligible participate. examined students' towards (a) enrolling program, (b) additional schooling time, (c) monetary...
Cervical cancer is the second most common and fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Thailand. In 2005, Ministry Public Health (MoPH) Thailand initiated a phased national cervical screening program. To monitor progress toward targets--80% 30-60 years age screened for once previous 5 by 2013--the MoPH used 2010 Thai Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to assess coverage. Results from survey showed that 67.4% aged had been past with varying coverage region,...
