Medical students' knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV vaccine and head and neck cancer
Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2024 Dec 31;20(1):2344248. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2024.2344248. Epub 2024 Apr 24.ABSTRACTThe Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection that significantly affects the population worldwide. HPV preventive methods include vaccination, prophylactics, and education. Different types of cancers associated with HPV usually take years or decades to develop after infections, such as Head and Neck Cancer(HNC). Therefore, HPV prevention can be considered cancer prevention. A sample of medical students in Puerto Rico was evaluated to assess their knowledge about HPV, HPV vaccine, and HNC throu...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 667: Unveiling the Role of Human Papillomavirus in Urogenital Carcinogenesis a Comprehensive Review
n Human papillomavirus (HPV), an oncogenic DNA virus, is the most common sexually transmitted virus and significant public health concern globally. Despite the substantial prevalence of HPV infection among men, routine testing remains elusive due to the lack of approved HPV tests and the complexity of detection methods. Various studies have explored the link between HPV and genitourinary cancers, revealing different associations influenced by geographic variation, histological subtype and methodological differences. These findings underscore the importance of further research to elucidate the role of HPV in male urogen...

Pursuance of a Yoruba name for cervical cancer in Southwest Nigeria: a case study
CONCLUSIONS: There was no consensus Yoruba name for cervical cancer among the study participants. Efforts to educate the Yoruba speaking populace about cervical cancer, its prevention, management and participation in its research can be frustrated if a generally accepted Yoruba name is not provided for this cancer. Stakeholders' collaboration is required to get an appropriate Yoruba name for cervical cancer.PMID:38658005 | DOI:10.1136/bmjopen-2023-074020 (Source: Cancer Control)

Human papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus infection in benign thyroid lesions
CONCLUSION: The occurrence and development of benign thyroid lesions are closely related to EBV infection. HT combined with thyroid adenoma may be more susceptible to EBV infection than simple HT and thyroid adenoma, which provides a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment of benign thyroid lesions.PMID:38646990 | DOI:10.5603/ep.99339 (Source: Endokrynologia Polska)

Preventive Care for Men Who Have Sex With Men
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Apr;109(4):324-332.ABSTRACTMen who have sex with men (MSM) is an inclusive term used to refer to phenotypic males who have insertive or receptive sex (penile-anal or penile-oral) with other phenotypic males, including people who are transgender or have other gender identities. MSM may report their sexual orientation as homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual, or something else, but this stated sexual orientation may not align with their sexual attraction or behaviors. Several health conditions disproportionately affect MSM compared with age-matched heterosexual men, including HIV infection, anal cancer, s...
