Background In 1994 the WHO showed about 140 millions cases of lymphedema (Table 1). Italian epidemiological studies report that primary lymphedema are more frequent than secondary. The localization of upper limbs recognizes secondary lymphedema; the primary ones can be located in lower limbs. 30-40 y.o. women are more exposed. In geriatric patients lymphedema is generally secondary and concerne...

Background: Diseases of the cervix are common in women. Detection of neoplastic lesions is of prime importance in the evaluation of cervical smears although their frequency is less than the non-neoplastic conditions. Reactiv...

Introduction and Aim: Dendritic cells (DCs) perform the function of antigen-presenting immune system mammals. After demonstration DCs in human cervix, more focus fell on role distributed various benign cancerous lesions endometrium. In our study, we have studied CD1a positive non-malignant tissues uterus cervix. Materials Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted patients who had undergone ...

Human papillomavirus is a virus that is distributed worldwide, and persistent infection with high-risk genotypes (HR-HPV) is considered the most important factor for the development of squamous cell cervical carcinoma (SCC). However, by itself, it is not sufficient, and other factors may contribute to the onset and progression of lesions. For example, infection with other sexually transmitted d...

Up to 70% of cases of pelvic inflammatory disease do not have a known cause. We recruited 115 women who had presented to a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases in Nairobi, Kenya with pelvic pain that had persisted for 14 days or less, to look for an association between Mycoplasma genitalium and endometritis. With PCR, we detected M genitalium in the cervix, endometrium, or both in nine (16%...

The transneuronal tracer pseudorabies virus was used to test the hypothesis that connections from the cervix to the forebrain and hypothalamus are maintained with pregnancy. The virus was injected into the cervix of nonpregnant or pregnant mice, and, after 5 days, virus-labeled cells and fibers were found in specific forebrain regions and, most prominently, in portions of the hypothalamic parav...

INTRODUCTION High-risk human papilloma viruses play a main role in the development of cervical dysplasias and carcinomas. p16INK4a can be considered as a surrogate marker of active high-risk human papillomaviruses infection in dysplastic and neoplastic cells of the cervix. This study was aimed at determining the presence and level of pl6INK4a expression in inflammatory, preneoplastic and neopla...

The novel gene human Biot2 (hBiot2) was first reported by our laboratory. Previously, we indicated its function of proliferation and carcinogenesis in human endometrial cancer. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether hBiot2 played a similar role in human cervical cancer. We tested hBiot2 expression profile in cervical cancer, the corresponding adjacent normal tissues, normal cervi...

Background: There are several strategies for the induction of labor (IOL), and pharmacologic agents, including oxytocin prostaglandins, most commonly used in clinical practice. Compared with oxytocin, prostaglandin E2 agent, dinoprostone, has been regarded as moreeffective LTPs a non-dilated cervix. Objective was to compare PGE2 gel placed intracervically that given intravenously both primipara...
