A 23-year-old woman gave a history of intermittent post-coital vaginal spotting, and a Papanicolaou smear indicated the presence of a low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and cellular changes due to the cytopathic effect of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Colposcopic examination showed a circumferential exophytic lesion (Fig 1). Multiple biopsies were performed; histological examinat...

The reactions of bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) dichloride with a new class of thiosemicarbazone (LH(2)), derived by condensing isatin with different N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazides, have been studied and products of type [Cp(2)Ti(L)] have been isolated. On the basis of various physico-chemical and spectral studies, five coordinate structures have been assigned to these derivatives. Toxi...

Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a benign epidermal tumor of unknown etiology. Because of its wart-like morphology, human papillomavirus (HPV) has been suggested as a possible causative agent.

We analyzed 40 biopsy specimens ...
