Leiomioma vulvar atípico

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecologic neoplasms. However, these tumors occasionally occur in unusual locations such as the genitourinary tract (vulva, ovaries, urethra, and urinary bladder). We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with an atypical leiomyoma of the vulva.     

微波配合阿昔洛韦治疗女性生殖器疱疹的临床疗效

目的:探讨了微波配合阿昔洛韦治疗女性生殖器疱疹的疗效和安全性。方法:选择2010年3月～2011年3月女性生殖器疱疹患者36例,按照分层分组法随机分为两组,对照组和治疗组,对照组采用阿昔洛韦进行治疗,治疗组在对照组治疗基础上采用微波进行治疗。对两组治疗效果进行评定。结果:对照组和治疗组有效率分别为90.5%和60.0%,治疗组有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗组复发次数明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。两组均未出现不良反应。结论:微波配合阿昔洛韦治疗女性生殖器疱疹疗效显著,安全性较高,值得临床推广使用。     

Enhanced Heterosexual Transmission Hypothesis for the Origin of Pandemic HIV-1

HIV-1 M originated from SIVcpz endemic in chimpanzees from southeast Cameroon or neighboring areas, and it started to spread in the early 20th century. Here we examine the factors that may have contributed to simian-to-human transmission, local transmission between humans, and export to a city. The region had intense ape hunting, social disruption, commercial sex work, STDs, and traffic to/from Kinshasa in the period 1899–1923. Injection treatments increased sharply around 1930; however, their frequency among local patients was far lower than among modern groups experiencing parenteral HIV-1 outbreaks. Recent molecular datings of HIV-1 M fit better the period of maximal resource exploitation and trade links than the period of high injection intensity. We conclude that although local parenteral outbreaks might have occurred, these are unlikely to have caused massive transmission. World War I led to additional, and hitherto unrecognized, risks of HIV-1 emergence. We propose an Enhanced Heterosexual Transmission Hypothesis for the origin of HIV-1 M, featuring at the time and place of its origin a coincidence of favorable co-factors (ape hunting, social disruption, STDs, and mobility) for both cross-species transmission and heterosexual spread. Our hypothesis does not exclude a role for parenteral transmission in the initial viral adaptation.     

Sociodemographic factors associated with female genital cutting among women of reproductive age in Nigeria

Objectives: The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of female genital cutting (FGC) among women of reproductive age in Nigeria and identify the sociodemographic factors associated with the practice.

Methods: A secondary analysis of the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey was carried out in 38,948 women of reproductive age (15–49 years).

Results: The prevalence of FGC among respondents was almost 25%, most of whom (82%) had undergone the procedure when they were under 5 years of age. Traditional circumcisers performed 72.2% of all procedures. Type 2 was the common form (62.6%) of FGC. Almost a quarter of respondents (23.1%) wanted the practice to continue. Women aged 45–49 years were approximately twice as likely to have undergone FGC compared with women aged 15–19 years (odds ratio [OR] 2.41; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.99, 2.92; p?p?p?Conclusions: Our findings have programmatic implications for ending the practice of FGC in Nigeria. Elimination efforts should be intensified among women of Yoruba ethnicity. To instigate behavioural change, communication interventions should particularly target residents in parts of Nigeria other than the North East zone.
