Oral Sex Cause of Throat Cancer RiseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Changing sexual practices have led to a dramatic rise in throat cancer in the United States over the past two decades, and experts say they fear an epidemic of the disease. The comments were made Wednesday at a news conference held by the American Association for Cancer Research to discuss research into the role of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus ( HPV) in head and neck cancer. Increasing rates of HPV infection, spread through oral sex, is largely driving the rapid rise in oropharyngeal cancers, which include tumors of the throat, tonsils, and base of the tongue, said Scott Lippman, MD, who chairs the thorac...

Glycemic Index and the Prevention of AcneEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article points out that although acne is common in Western populations, it is rare in non-Western societies (for example, among the Inuit, Okinawan Islanders, and Kitaven Islanders)—until those societies adopt Western lifestyles. The article then discusses in detail the biological rationale for a possible connection between diet, hyperinsulinemia and acne. “Recent evidence has demonstrated that the hormonal cascade triggered by diet-induced hyperinsulinemia elicits an endocrine response that simultaneously promotes unregulated tissue growth and enhanced androgen synthesis,” note the article’s authors. “Hence...

I’v been living with hpv and my girlfriend for 4 years. I had treatment once for several non cauliflower looking warts. I didn’t notice them for a while because they were so small. They just looked like zits to me. After the initial treatment there has been no recurrences except last week I had one but in 3 or 4 days it went away. Today I noticed a very small rash on the head of my penis. So my questions are: 1. Can warts just go away? 2. How should I get my girlfriend to care about getting a pap smear?

Can I get rid of penile pearly papules?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Pearly penile papules are small raised nodules (bumps), usually 1-2 mm in size, which are located around the rim of the penis head in the form of string of pearls. Usually developing during adolescence, they have been reported in up to 35% of males. Uncircumcised men are more likely to have pearly penile papules. Very often these lesions are confused with genital warts, although there is no known link between warts and pearly penile papules. Pearly penile papules are NOT cancer and are NOT spread via contact or sex. Most men with penile papules do not seek medical treatment. Men do not need to have them removed but s...

Infection with high-risk types of HPV is associated with a proportion of preinvasive squamous lesions of the penis (penile intraepithelial neoplasia or PIN) and with penile cancer, as well as with preinvasive squamous lesions of the anus (anal intraepithelial neoplasia or AIN) and with anal cancer. Invasive penile cancer is quite uncommon, especially in circumcised men. In 2002, the age-adjusted incidence rate for penile cancer in the U.S. was 0.8 per 100,000 men (985 new cases).

In a previous post, we discussed penile pearly papules. Lichen planus can also cause bumps on the penis. This condition is an inflammatory condition - NOT an STD. Classical lichen planus is characterized by shiny, flat-topped, firm papules (bumps) varying from pin point size (‘guttate’) to larger than a centimetre. They are a purple colour and often are crossed by fine white lines (called ‘Wickham’s striae’). They may be close together or widespread, or grouped in lines (linear lichen planus) or rings (annular lichen planus). Linear lichen planus can be the result of scratching or injuring the skin.

A new study reports that a laser that delivers energy pulses shorter than those currently considered standard practice is effective and safe for hair removal. The study appears in a recent issue of the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy. Laser pulse duration is believed to be an important factor in the safety and efficacy of laser treatments. Studies have generally found that although longer pulses are safer for darker skin, shorter pulses tend to be better at removing hair. Fluence, or energy level, is also important. Generally, the higher a laser’s fluency, which is measured in joules per square centimeter (J/cm2), ...

Penile warts are diagnosis that a trained doctor can make without a biopsy. If patients have many warts or ones that look suspicious for other lesions like cancer I often biopsy a representative sample and freeze (with liquid nitrogen) or burn (electrocautery) or laser (C02 or YAG) the rest. If a patient has warts on the foreskin and wants a circumcision I sent the tissue for biopsy. If your doctor didn’t send a biopsy and it didn’t come back that’s fine. If it keeps coming back and there was never a biopsy ask your doctor to sent a piece to the lab or make sure they are convinced its not cancer....

Temporary tattooing using henna dye, a dark green power made from the leaves of the henna (Lawsonia inermis) plant has become very popular in recent years, both among adults and children.

Testing showed the boy had an allergy to para-phenylenediamine (PPD), the chemical often added to henna dye to make the color blacker and to speed up the dyeing process. After treatment with a cortocosteroid cream and oral antihistamines, the lesion went away, although some residual ...
