Giant condylomata are not usually seen nowadays in developed nations, but such cases are still seen in the under-resourced countries. Condylomata acuminata are commonly transmitted through sexual intercourse. Generally diagnosed based on their appearance. Giant condyloma acuminata also named Buschke- Löwenstein tumour (BLT) is a slow growing cauliflower-like tumor, locally aggressive and destru...

Introduction: Infections are frequent in childhood-systemic lupus erythematosus (C-SLE) patients, inclu ding human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infection may cause genital and anal warts named condyloma acuminatum (CA). To our knowledge, none case was reported and the prevalence of CA in C-SLE population was not performed. Case Reports: From January 1983 to May 2012, 5,682 patients were followed a...

BACKGROUND Giant condyloma acuminatum or Buschke - Loewenstein tumor is a very rare disease usually located in the genital, anorectal, and perianal regions. It is locally invasive but in mostly cases displays a benign cytology on preoperative tissue sampling. Because of its low incidence little is known about treatment outcomes. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Different s...

BACKGROUND Cyclin D1 plays an important role in regulating the progression of cells through the G1-phase of the cell cycle. The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of cyclin D1 and Ki-67 in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and in some premalignant lesions of the penis and to correlate it with clinicopathological parameters and patient survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS Formalin-fixe...

Oral condyloma acuminatum is a viral-induced lesion and usually a manifestation of infectious venereal disease. It has been stated that venereal lesions in children are pathognomonic of sexual abuse. The literature is reviewed in relation to the etiology, diagnosis, clinical and histological features, and treatment of the lesion. The third case reported in the international literature is presen...

Premise of the study Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were derived from transcriptomic data for Ottelia acuminata (Hydrocharitaceae), a species comprising five endemic and highly endangered varieties in China. Methods and Results Sixteen novel SSR markers were developed for O. acuminata var. jingxiensis. One to eight alleles per locus were found, with a mean of 2.896. The observed and exp...

BACKGROUND Conventional therapies for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are often associated with unsatisfactory response rates and high recurrence rates. The use of a systemic agent may more effectively control the virus. OBJECTIVES To investigate the efficacy and safety of low dose oral isotretinoin in recalcitrant condylomata acuminata (RCA) of the cervix. METHODS Double blind placebo...

Two new C-benzylated dihydrochalcones, isochamuvaritin (1) and acumitin (2), have been isolated from the African medicinal plant Uvaria acuminata, together with the previously reported benzylbenzoate (3), uvaretin (4), isouvaretin (5), diuvaretin (6), and uvangoletin (7). The structural elucidation of compounds 1 and 2 in spectroscopic studies is described. C-Benzylated dihydrochalcones, especi...

Arctic waders are well known for their impressive long-distance migrations between their high northerly breeding grounds and wintering areas in the Southern hemisphere. Performing such long migrations requires precise orientation mechanisms. We conducted orientation cage experiments with juvenile sharp-tailed sandpipers (Calidris acuminata) to investigate what cues they rely on when departing f...
