Multiple human papillomavirus genotype infections in cervical cancer progression in the study to understand cervical cancer early endpoints and determinants.

30 Oct 2009 Determining the causal attribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes to cervical disease is important to estimate the effect of HPV vaccination and to establish a type spectrum for HPV-based screening. We analyzed the prevalence of HPV ... Read more...

Association of HLA-DRB1, interleukin-6 and cyclin D1 polymorphisms with cervical cancer in the Swedish population--a candidate gene approach.

13 Oct 2009 High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection is the major risk factor for cervical cancer (CxCa). The role of genetic susceptibility in the disease has been suggested, but the existing data lack consistency. We conducted a nested case-control ... Read more...

Multicenter randomized trial of cerclage for preterm birth prevention in high-risk women with shortened midtrimester cervical length.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to assess cerclage to prevent recurrent preterm birth in women with short cervix. STUDY DESIGN: Women with prior spontaneous preterm birth less than 34 weeks were screened for short cervix and randomly ... Read more...
