Cervical cancer: A comprehensive approach towards extermination.
Authors: Bava SV, Thulasidasan AK, Sreekanth CN, Anto RJ Abstract Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted pathogen, globally. Oncogenic types of HPV are the causative agents of many neoplastic diseases, including cervical cancer, which ranks as the most common cancer affecting females in developing countries. HPV infection of the cervical epithelium and the subsequent integration of viral DNA into the host genome are the major risk factors for cervical cancer. The scientific discovery of HPV as the causal agent of cervical cancer has led to the development of HPV-based diagnostic ...

Human papillomavirus vaccine series completion: Qualitative information from providers within an integrated healthcare organization.
CONCLUSION: Interventions to improve HPV vaccination completion rates should address both individual- and system-level factors. Improving communication skills, encouraging a supportive medical culture, and addressing resource issues is likely to improve vaccine adherence. PMID: 26947497 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Research Articles Vaccination during myeloid cell depletion by cancer chemotherapy fosters robust T cell responses
In conclusion, carboplatin-paclitaxel therapy fosters vigorous vaccine-induced T cell responses when vaccination is given after chemotherapy and has reset the tumor-induced abnormal myeloid cell composition to normal values.

Abstract A86: Challenges and opportunities for increasing the rates of HPV vaccination
Conclusion: Awareness of HPV, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccine are significantly associated the intention to vaccinate children between the ages of 11 and 18 years against HPV. Increasing knowledge of cervical cancer and the importance of HPV vaccination among parents and caretakers of preteens and teens have the potential to increase the rates of HPV vaccination and prevent future cervical cancers. More research is needed to explore other factors that are related to HPV vaccination.Citation Format: Ahmed Elmi, Saad Tassaduq, Olive Mbah, Ashleigh DeFries, Lee Bone, Anjani Kapadia, Theron Scott, Nichole Tuite, Adrian Dobs. ...

Abstract B91: Awareness and knowledge of HPV, HPV-related cancers, and HPV vaccines in a working, uninsured clinic population
Conclusion: Using estimates obtained in HINTS 4 as a benchmark, awareness and knowledge of HPV, HPV-related cancers, and HPV vaccines were low among working, uninsured adult patients. In addition to improving access to HPV vaccination (e.g. volunteer clinics), the findings demonstrate a need for strategies to educate medically underserved adults about HPV. Maximizing access to HPV vaccination, including catch-up vaccination for adults up to age 26 are consistent with the recommendations of the President's Cancer Panel, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians, and the Advi...

Fundamentals of Baculovirus Expression and Applications.
Authors: Kost TA, Kemp CW Abstract In 1982 E. coli produced human insulin, the world's first recombinant DNA drug, was approved by the FDA. Since this historical event, remarkable progress has been made in developing bacterial, yeast, mammalian and insect cell protein expression systems that are used to produce recombinant proteins for both research and clinical applications. Of the available approaches, the insect cell based baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) has proven to be a particularly adaptable system for producing a diverse collection of proteins. Along with E. coli, the system has been valuable fo...

HPV Update: Vaccination, Screening, and Associated Disease
This article highlights new evidence regarding the efficacy of the recently approved 9-valent HPV (9vHPV) vaccine and the use of primary high-risk HPV testing in cervical cancer screening. We consider the utility of urinary HPV testing in routine clinical practice and review current guidelines regarding anal HPV screening.

Using the Health Belief Model to Examine the Link between HPV Knowledge and Self-Efficacy for Preventive Behaviors of Male Students at a Two-Year College in New York City.
Abstract The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common and easily transmitted sexually transmitted infections in the United States; infected individuals are frequently unaware that they are carriers, and transmission occurs unknowingly. Infection can lead to genital warts or cervical, penile, anal, or oral cancer. The object of this study was to examine the link between HPV knowledge and self-efficacy for preventive behaviors among college students as well as HPV vaccine acceptability. A cross-sectional survey of students at a two-year college in New York City was conducted electronically. The current s...

Testing conditional independence in sets of I × J tables by means of moment and correlation score tests with application to HPV vaccine
A new testing approach is described for improving statistical tests of independence in sets of tables stratified on one or more relevant factors in case of categorical (nominal or ordinal) variables. Common tests of independence that exploit the ordinality of one of the variables use a restricted‐alternative approach. A different, relaxed‐null method is presented. Specifically, the M‐moment score tests and the correlation tests are introduced. Using multinomial‐Poisson homogeneous modeling theory, it is shown that these tests are computationally and conceptually simple, and simulation results suggest that they can ...
