Filter by:flat warts are a superficial viral skin disease, extremely common in childhood.Treatment of warts is often difficult and involves different destructive procedures.Although several pharmacological and physical topical treatments are available (keratolytic agents, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, carbon dioxide laser), results are often unsatisfactory in terms of efficacy (frequent recurrence) and cosmetic outcome (scars, inflammatory reactions, transient or permanent hyper- or hypopigmentation). Mild local Hyperthermia with a certain temperature range has been successfully used in the treatment of some diseases. It has been utilised in the treatment of some neoplasm, fungal and HPV infections. Investigators' study found that local hyperthermia at 44°C could cleared HPV in more than half of the patients with plantar warts. Investigators also note the fact that in patients with multiple lesions, the clearance of the target lesion is commonly followed by clearance of other distant lesions, a phenomenon suggesting that local hyperthermia could aid in establishing a specific immune response to eliminate HPV.So the purpose of the study is to evaluation local hyperthermia in the treatment of flat warts Appropriate control arms were designed for different conditions.
The overall purpose of the project is to evaluate an algorithm for an HPV self-sampling based cervical cancer screening algorithm in a mid-size town in Ethiopia that could be applicable for nationwide implementation in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Specific aims are the following: - To evaluate the algorithm using Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA) and VIA together with Lugol's Iodine (VILI) as triage and to use HPV self-sample to follow up those treated and those with persisting HPV. - To evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other STIs in the cohort. - To determine immune response profiles in high-risk HPV-positive women who cleared, persisted, or developed Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2/3 (CIN). - To assess how specific cervicovaginal microbiota compositions are associated with HPV infection, cervical dysplasia, and cancer
Doctors leading this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining medications HB-201 and HB-202 (also known as TheraT® vectors) with chemotherapy using carboplatin and paclitaxel in the beginning of the study (induction) and if combining these medications can increase tumor shrinkage after therapy and reduce the amount of radiotherapy and chemotherapy that will later be needed. In addition, the study is looking at ways to reduce side effects overall using robotic surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or radiotherapy alone. Your participation in this research will last about 2 years. HB-201 and HB-202 are experimental (meaning the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved these drugs), and therefore they can only be given in a research study.
This study will investigate whether injecting genital warts with small quantities of the Gardasil 9 vaccine has an effect on the warts.
People living with HIV (PLWH) are 28 times more likely to be diagnosed with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - associated anal cancer than the general population. The HPV vaccine is an effective and safe approach to prevent and reduce the risk of HPV-related disease among PLWH. HPV vaccine programs tailored and implemented in the HIV population are lagging for this high-risk group. The CDC's 4 Pillars Transformation Program is a multi-level, evidence-based intervention that has been successfully used to increase HPV vaccination in the general population and is ready to be tested in the high-risk HIV population, particularly PLWH in the rural South. This program offers providers and clinic staff evidence-based strategies to increase HPV vaccination uptake via training and educational resources. This study proposes to tailor and refine the 4 Pillars Program and do this project in three HIV clinics in Georgia (AID Atlanta, AID Newnan, and Albany Model Rural HIV Clinic) and enroll n=365 PLWH who are age 18-45 years from those clinics.
This single-institution cross-sectional non-inferiority validation study evaluates alternative techniques and tests for primary cervical cancer screening programs in Russia, particularly: local cytology staining techniques, local HPV tests.
Cervical cancer is primarily caused by Human Papillomaviruses (HPV). Testing for HPV in cervical samples is now an option for cervical cancer screening. HPV can also be tested from self-collected samples which may help to improve access to screening, since it does not require a doctor visit. However, many women will test positive for HPV who are not at high risk for cervical cancer. Therefore, additional ("triage") tests are needed to determine which women testing HPV-positive require additional clinical workup. For self sampling, a triage test that could be measured from the same initial sample without requiring a follow-up visit to the doctor would be an ideal strategy. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new HPV test that measures changes in HPV DNA can be used to triage HPV-positive women using self collected samples. This study will enroll 1,000 women who are undergoing cervical cancer screening at the George Washington University. Women will be asked to take a self-collected sample prior to their clinic visit. The investigators will evaluate the clinical accuracy of the new HPV triage test in self-collected samples and compare the accuracy of the test in samples collected by the clinician.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) causes 90% of cervical cancers and is implicated in multiple other cancers. The HPV vaccine can prevent the vast majority of these cancers, but it is underused in adolescents, especially among those within vaccine hesitant (VH) parents. The proposed research is to develop and pilot test a tailored, health communication intervention aimed to increase HPV vaccination among VH parents. The proposed research is innovative because no evidence-based health communication interventions target HPV VH parents, and we will use stakeholder engagement throughout this study. The research will add knowledge on how tailored education provided before a doctor's visit can play a role in improving HPV vaccination rates among underserved, VH parents.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent pathogen, the epidemiology of which has mostly been studied in the uterine cervix and the vagina. The KCE Report 238Cs (2015) recommends " HR-HPV-positive women should not be offered colposcopy immediately. Triage should be done using cytology for this purpose. If cytological abnormalities (ASCUS+) are found, immediate referral should follow for diagnosis and, where appropriate, treatment. If no abnormalities are observed in triage, the subject should be offered follow-up testing (cytology) at six months. ". There is no treatment that is recommended during this lap time. The 2LPAPI® has been available for more than 20 years, and has received a marketing authorization in Belgium by the FAMHP. It is used as an immune regulator in the treatment of HR-HPV infections. Since 2LPAPI® has been made available, clinical observational data collected on treated patients have shown the beneficial effect on the clearance of HPV. The purpose of this placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of 2LPAPI® on the clearance of genital HR-HPV infections.
This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the outcomes of short-course chemoradiation consisting in stereotactic boost to the gross tumor and de-esclalated chemoradiation to the elective neck in human papilloma associated oropharynx cancer vs. the current standard 7-week course chemoradiation.
