Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third common cause of malignancy in Iran, and its incidence rate has been raised due to an increase individual environmental risk factors. Objectives: The present study aimed define role human papillomavirus (HPV) infection CRC, then by drawing a phylogenetic tree, we analysis sequences isolated HPVs, finally determine viral genome physical status for ...

BACKGROUND High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the main etiological factor of cervical cancer. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) is the latest pre-invasive stage of cervical cancer, with an approximately 20% progression rate to invasive cervical carcinoma. OBJECTIVE To establish the pre-vaccination distribution of HPV genotypes in Slovenian women with CIN 3 lesions, in...

BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral sexually-transmitted infection. Despite HPV infection is associated with several malignant disorders including penile and anal cancers, little is known about the epidemiology of HPV infection in males, particularly in developing countries. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV infection and its ge...

BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine prevents cervical pre-cancers and cancers caused by HPV types 16 and 18. This study provides information on the HPV types detected in cervical cancers of Alaska Native (AN) women. METHODS Cases of invasive cervical cancer diagnosed in AN women aged 18 and above between 1980 and 2007 were identified from the Alaska Native Tumor Registry. A represen...

Background & Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of genital warts and some anogenital cancers in male and female subjects which is commonly transmitted by sexual contacts. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of HPV genotypes in 10,266 Iranian male and female population, according to their age. Meth...

Objective. We investigate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues compared to oesophageal tissue from healthy controls, in an Australian cohort. Methods. We conducted a hospital-based case-control study of 99 patients with OSCC and 100 healthy controls to examine the presence of HPV DNA. Paraffin tissues were tested using the PapType hi...

background: seborrheic keratoses (sk) are common, benign and often multiple skin tumors with disputed etiology. a follicular origin, late onset nevoid disturbance or local arrest in maturation of keratinocytes have been proposed. human papilloma virus (hpv) has been detected in a small number of cases, particularly those from the genital region. objectives: the aim of our study was to evaluate ...

BACKGROUND To examine the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) of the temporal artery. METHODS The study group consisted of 22 cases of histologically positive/biopsy confirmed GCA. The control groups consisted of 21 histologically negative temporal artery biopsies and fifteen cases of vascular margins of nephrectomies. For detection of the presence o...

Background: Currently, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), common laryngeal warts in the upper airway systems of children and adults are on the increase. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are suspected as causative agents. This study concerned HPV incidence and genotype distribution in Iranian RRP patients. Methods: Specimens were collected from RRP patients referred to hospitals affiliated...
