Characterizing Differences in Thymic Function in Women With and Without Vulvodynia: A Community-Based Study
Conclusions These findings suggest that at younger ages, women with vulvodynia have higher thymic output and a more precipitous decline of thymic function than those without vulvodynia. It also seems that a strong immune inflammatory response is present proximate to the onset of vulvar pain and may wane subsequently over time. (Source: Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease)

The “CIV Classification,” a New Proposal for the Architectural Grading of Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus
Conclusions Our classification showed a high reliability. It is easy to use, and it can be applied in clinical practice and eventually, in the evaluation of regenerative and cosmetic surgery. (Source: Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease)

Efficacy of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination 4 Years After Conization for High-Grade Cervical Neoplasia
Conclusions Our study corroborates the benefits of HPV vaccination, recommends a closer and longer follow-up in nonvaccinated women, and offers a 4-year prognosis for patients undergoing conization for high-grade cervical lesions. (Source: Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease)

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure in Managing Persistent Low-Grade Abnormality or Human Papillomavirus Positivity
Conclusions Patients with persistent low-grade abnormalities or persistent hrHPV should be counseled on the risks and benefits of a LEEP given that 12%–22% have a risk of occult high grade, especially if they have a history of high-grade dysplasia. (Source: Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease)

The Association Between Clearance of Human Papillomavirus After Conization for Cervical Cancer and Absence of Cancer
Objectives We assessed the relation between clearance of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) after large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) and absence of residual disease, in women diagnosed with cervical cancer (CC) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). Materials Methods Data were collected from 92 women diagnosed with CC and AIS who were positive to HR-HPV and had a repeat cervical HPV test 3–12 weeks after LLETZ (in which CC/AIS were diagnosed) and before final surgical treatment. We compared characteristics of women with negative and positive HR-HPV after LLETZ. Results The HR-HPV res...
