Study Objective: To assess gynaecological morbidity in girls aged 10 to 17 years old over a 12-year period of the program for vaccination prevention HPV-associated diseases Moscow region; and compare data on vaccinated regions with information where no human papilloma virus (HPV) was undertaken. Design: retrospective study. Materials Methods. We used from annual statistical reports prepared by ...

External genitalia are found in each of the major clades of amniotes. The phallus is an intromittent organ that functions to deliver sperm into the female reproductive tract for internal fertilization. The cellular and molecular genetic mechanisms of external genital development have begun to be elucidated from studies of the mouse genital tubercle, an embryonic appendage adjacent to the cloaca...

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 ...

The breadth of anatomical and functional diversity among amniote external genitalia has led to uncertainty about the evolutionary origins of the phallus. In several lineages, including the tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus, adults lack an intromittent phallus, raising the possibility that the amniote ancestor lacked external genitalia and reproduced using cloacal apposition. Accordingly, a phallus m...

PURPOSE Lower urinary tract malformations are among the most common congenital anomalies in humans. Molecular genetic studies of mouse external genital development have begun to identify mechanisms that pattern the genital tubercle and orchestrate urethral tubulogenesis. The urethral plate epithelium is an endodermal signaling region that has an essential role in external genital development. H...
