The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine: The Past, the Present, and the Future_ Crimson Publishers

The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine: The Past, the Present, and the Future by Samantha Docos BS in Womens Health_ Gynecology Open access journal

The development of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is one of the great public health accomplishments of the 21st century. The roots of this success can be traced back thousands of years. Ancient Greeks and Romans made the first tentative steps in this journey by identifying genital warts as a sexually transmitted disease [1]. It would not be until 1907, however, with the novel field of microbiology entering full swing that Ciuffo would confirm the infectious nature of genital warts [2]. Viral particles were confirmed as the infectious vector in the 1940s [3]. HPV was first described as a dsDNA virus in 1965 [4].

Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer and cancer death among women worldwide [1]. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2018, the global incidence is estimated at 570,000 new cases per year, of which more than 80% occur in developing countries [1]. In Morocco, the cervical cancer represents a major public health problem. It ranks second, after breast cancer in Moroccan women [2]. The incidence of cervical cancer remains high among women living with HIV. However, many studies have shown that this population has an increased risk of developing intraepithelial cervical neoplasia [3]. In the fight against cervical cancer, Morocco has a national cancer control programme under the aegis of the LALLA SALMA Foundation since 2006, thus enabling the creation of reference centers for screening and diagnosis of cervical cancer [4]. Women living with HIV often escape this program because of fear of stigmatization and disclosure of their HIV status. I...

Combined Cervical Laceration and Bladder Rupture: A Case Report of an Unusual Complication of Precipitated Labor

Image
Highlights   a) Bladder and cervical rupture should be considered, after precipitated vaginal delivery. b) When there is gross hematuria, a urinary catheter should be inserted to monitor the hematuria and urine output. c) If the hematuria persists and other associated symptoms appear, cystography is a useful tool for determining the severity of the bladder injury and determining the cause. Abstract   Cases of bladder rupture have been rarely reported following vaginal childbirth. To the best of our knowledge, however, no cases of combined cervical laceration and bladder rupture have been reported to date. We present the first case of a 31-year-old woman with gestational diabetes who suffered a combined cervical laceration and bladder rupture after childbirth. Precipitated labor caused by oxytocin induction resulted in vaginal and cervical lacerations. The bladder rupture was confirmed by cystography. A team of obstetricians and urologists performed the laparotomy. The patien...

Infrared Thermography Appearance of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis: A Useful Tool for Diagnosis_Crimson Publishers

Image
Infrared Thermography Appearance of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis: A Useful Tool for Diagnosis by Francisco das Chagas Medeiros in Gynecology Research & Womens Health Endometrioma is a well circumscribed mass of endometriosis that occurs when ectopic endometrial tissue (gland and stroma), which can respond to ovarian hormonal stimulation, grows outside the uterus [1]. Endometrioma in a surgical scar develops in 0.1% of women who have undergone cesarean section, and 25% of these women have concomitant pelvic endometriosis [2]. Its clinical diagnosis in the abdominal wall has been confused with abscess, lipoma, hematoma, sebaceous cyst, suture granuloma, inguinal hernia, incisional hernia, desmoid tumor, sarcoma, lymphoma, or primary and metastatic cancer [2,3]. The diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriomas is often confused with other surgical conditions. Endometriosis is rarely seen by general surgeons and is often diagnosed on histological examination postoperatively [3]; ...
