Disruption of cervical esophagogastric anastomosis after retrosternal stomach transposition remains a dangerous complication. We report a case of cervical gastric disruption after retrosternal gastric transposition in a 36-year-old man that required sternotomy for reanastomosis. After sternotomy, gastric mobilization was possible, in order to gain sufficient length for a new cervical esophagoga...

human papillomaviruses (hpvs) infect mucosal and cutaneous epithelia and cause malignant and benign neoplastic lesions. human papillomaviruses cause 250000 deaths per year from cervical cancer most often in developing countries. this major public health problem make them important targets in the search for human papillomaviruses detection methods that may play a role in cervical cancer screenin...

The comet assay can be used to assess genetic damage, but heterogeneity in the length of the tails is frequently observed. The aims of this study were to evaluate genetic damage and heterogeneity in the cervical nuclei and lymphocytes from patients with different levels of dysplasia and to determine the risk factors associated with the development of cervical cancer. The study included 97 femal...
