| abnormal papanicolaou smears. comparison of cytology, colposcopy and cervical swab dna hybridization. | cervical swab sampling for dna hybridization was performed on 89 women attending a colposcopy clinic. in situ hybridization studies for human papillomavirus (hpv) types 6/11, 16/18 and 31/33/35 were performed on the specimens. biopsy specimens were obtained from 65 patients. the cytologic, colposcopic and histologic results were classified into five groups and assigned a score of 0-5, depending upon the diagnosis. an increasing score correlated positively with the presence of hpv, especially typ ... | 1992 | 1320120 |
| should all women with cervical atypia be referred for colposcopy: a harnet study. harrisburgh area research network. | clinicians who manage women with papanicolaou (pap) smears showing atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ascus) may miss clinically significant cervical disease by repeating the cytology alone. we evaluated the ability of the human papillomavirus (hpv) screen and the naked-eye examination after a cervical acetic acid wash to enhance the follow-up pap smear in predicting an abnormal colposcopic biopsy. | 1994 | 8163964 |
| elevated serum homocysteine levels and increased risk of invasive cervical cancer in us women. | to explore the relationship between serum homocysteine, a sensitive biomarker for folate inadequacy and problems in one-carbon metabolism, and invasive cervical cancer. | 2001 | 11456227 |
| results of a randomized trial on the management of cytology interpretations of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. | this study was undertaken to compare alternative strategies for the initial management of a cytologic diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ascus). | 2003 | 12824967 |
| multicenter initiative seeking critical genes in respiratory papillomatosis. | to determine the host genes that govern susceptibility to recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (rrp). rrp is caused by human papillomavirus (hpv) 6 and 11. millions of babies are exposed during the birthing process, but relatively few develop the disease and the aggressiveness of the course is highly variable. genetically encoded host susceptibility is postulated. determining the host genes that govern susceptibility will enhance our understanding not only of rrp but also of host-viral interacti ... | 2004 | 14755217 |
| syncope after vaccination--united states, january 2005-july 2007. | syncope (vasovagal reaction), or fainting, can be triggered by various stimuli, including medical procedures. syncope has been documented to occur after vaccination, most commonly among adolescents, and can result in hospitalization for a medical evaluation or because of injury. during 2005 and 2006, the advisory committee on immunization practices (acip) recommended use of three newly licensed vaccines for adolescents: the quadrivalent human papillomavirus recombinant vaccine (hpv) (gardasil(r) ... | 2008 | 18451756 |
| hpv vaccine attitudes and practices among primary care providers in appalachian pennsylvania. | the incidence of cervical cancer in appalachia exceeds the national rate; rural appalachian women are at especially high risk. we assessed the attitudes and practices related to human papillomavirus vaccination among providers in primary care practices in a contiguous 5-county area of appalachian pennsylvania. | 2009 | 19288992 |
| follow-up findings for women with human papillomavirus-positive and atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance screening test results in a large women's hospital practice. | reflex human papillomavirus (hpv) testing has been designated in consensus guidelines as "preferred" for women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (asc-us) liquid-based cytology (lbc) results, and colposcopy is currently recommended for patients with hpv-positive asc-us results. data from large clinical practices using newer screening methods and current cytology terminology are limited. | 2009 | 19722749 |
| cervical cancer prevention: new tools and old barriers. | cervical cancer is the second most common female tumor worldwide, and its incidence is disproportionately high (>80%) in the developing world. in the united states, in which papanicolaou (pap) tests have reduced the annual incidence to approximately 11,000 cervical cancers, >60% of cases are reported to occur in medically underserved populations as part of a complex of diseases linked to poverty, race/ethnicity, and/or health disparities. because carcinogenic human papillomavirus (hpv) infection ... | 2010 | 20310056 |
| knowledge of human papillomavirus and perceived barriers to vaccination in a sample of us female college students. | to assess knowledge of human papillomavirus (hpv) and perceived barriers to being vaccinated against the virus. | 2010 | 21186448 |
| follow-up findings in young females with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion papanicolaou test results. | new guidelines discourage cervical screening and procedures in young females, given available human papillomavirus vaccines, concerns regarding procedure-associated harms, and the rarity of cervical cancers. | 2011 | 21366461 |
| incidence of human papillomavirus in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas: now and 50 years ago. | the increasing incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas is believed to be due to the growing proportion of human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. to examine the time trend in the incidence of human papillomavirus, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas diagnosed from 1956 to 1969 (n = 43) and from 2007 to 2009 (n = 54) were tested by p16 immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization for human papillomavirus. morphologically, in these 2 time periods, the ... | 2011 | 21777945 |
| An Increase in HPV-Related Knowledge and Vaccination Intent Among Parental and Non-parental Caregivers of Adolescent Girls, Age 9-17 Years, in Appalachian Pennsylvania. | A theory and community-based educational intervention was designed to increase HPV-related knowledge and intent to vaccinate adolescent girls, against human papillomavirus (HPV) in Appalachia, a region with high cervical cancer incidence and mortality. An HPV educational session was conducted with immediate pre-/post-test questionnaires and 1-month follow-up telephone interview. McNemar tests and paired t tests evaluated change in individual knowledge variables and change in overall knowledge an ... | 2011 | 22131065 |
| the benefit of early pet/ct surveillance in hpv-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. | to evaluate the ability of posttreatment positron emission tomography and computed tomography (pet/ct) to predict ultimate disease status in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and known human papillomavirus (hpv) status. | 2011 | 22106234 |
| race and sexual behavior predict uptake of the human papillomavirus vaccine. | objective: to identify predictors of human papillomavirus (hpv) vaccination initiation by girls at high risk for hpv infection. method: participants were 2,098 girls enrolled in the ongoing pittsburgh girls study, who were between the ages of 12 and 15 years in 2008, and their primary caregivers. the study was conducted in the 2 years after the deployment of the first hpv vaccine approved by the u.s. food and drug administration. primary caregivers were asked about hpv vaccine uptake. girls were ... | 2012 | 22229933 |
