OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study is to determine whether a positive OncoE6 Anal Test result has statistically significant higher odds of being associated with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and to calculate sensitivity and specificity of this test for predicting HSIL in adult men who have sex with men and are living with HIV (MSMLWH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men living with HIV 18 years or older having ≥atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance-grade anal cytology results were eligible to enroll in this cross-sectional study...

OBJECTIVE: To compare patient satisfaction, histopathologic results, and short-term morbidity in patients undergoing loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) under local anesthesia (LA) versus general anesthesia (GA). METHODS: Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to the LA group or GA group. Pain was determined by both objective (faces pain scale-revised) and subjective (visual analog scale score) methods. RESULTS: Data from 244 patients (123 in the LA group and 121 in the GA group) were analyzed...

OBJECTIVE: To test whether headset-delivered virtual reality (VR) content affects satisfaction and/or anxiety in women with cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions undergoing colposcopy and colposcopically guided cervical biopsy. METHODS: In this single-center, randomized trial, we measured overall satisfaction (100-mm visual analog scale) and situation-specific anxiety (STAI-S) in 247 women with suspected cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions wearing either no VR headset (arm 1, control) or a VR headset before (arm 2) or before and during colposcopy (arm 3)...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of combined human papillomavirus (HPV) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) cervical cancer screening strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The OCT and cytology results were compared with the pathological results to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and immediate cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) risk. We compared the efficiency of colposcopy by using different triage strategies...

OBJECTIVES: Considerable debate exists among guidelines regarding when cervical cancer screening can be safely stopped. We aimed to compare the efficiency of human papillomavirus (HPV) test, cytology, and previous screening history for the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2+ lesions in women aged older than 65 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study. Multiple logistic regressions were used to compare the efficiency of the HPV test, cytology, and previous screening history for the diagnosis of histologically proven CIN 2+ lesions...

OBJECTIVE: Distribution of cervical dysplasia may influence approach for excisional procedures. Separating colposcopy biopsies into multiple specimen cups for pathologic evaluation incurs additional costs. We aimed to determine if the practice of separating biopsy specimens impacts patient outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective review of all colposcopy cases from a single institution was performed. A total of 1,331 cases were reviewed from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019...

OBJECTIVE: Screening with primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing has been evaluated in highly prescreened populations with lower HPV and HIV prevalence than what is the case in South Africa. High prevalence of HPV and underlying precancer in women living with HIV (WLWH) affect the clinical performance of screening tests significantly. This study investigates the utility and performance of an extended genotyping HPV test in detection of precancer in a population with a high coinfection rate with HIV...

BACKGROUND: Lichen sclerosus (LS) is an inflammatory disease mostly arising at the genital level. It is unclear whether human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have an etiological significance in LS, and data on their prevalence in patients with LS are controversial. OBJECTIVES: We assessed alpha, beta, and gamma HPV prevalence in patients with genital LS. The association of HPV positivity with demographic and clinical factors was also investigated. METHODS: One hundred thirty-two formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded LS samples (2016-2020) were retrieved from the archives of a pathology department...

OBJECTIVES: Diet habits, such as low milk and dairy intake, have been associated with bacterial vaginosis. Thus, we compared vaginal Lactobacillus crispatus abundances in women with different molecularly defined community state types (CSTs) according to the consumption of milk and/or dairy products. METHODS: A total of 516 women from the 5 geographic regions of Brazil were included. Participants were interviewed with a structured questionnaire for assessment of milk and/or dairy intake...

OBJECTIVE: The authors investigate the incidence of clinical and mycological resistance of Candida albicans vulvovaginitis (VVC) at the Jefferson Vulvovaginal Health Center. They also review their experience with boric acid in the treatment of fluconazole-resistant VVC. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients with C. albicans VVC diagnosed at the Jefferson Vulvovaginal Health Center between November 2019 and December 2021. Patients with clinically defined fluconazole resistance were identified...

OBJECTIVE: Multiple organizations recommend an annual digital anal rectal examination (DARE) for people at highest risk for anal cancer. We assessed DARE usage among sexual minority men and transgender women. METHODS: Community-recruited and asymptomatic individuals from a mid-sized US city were enrolled into the Prevent Anal Cancer Self-Swab Study, a longitudinal clinical trial of anal cancer screening. Self-reported data from the baseline survey were used to assess usage of DARE in the last year and during the lifetime...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of atypical glandular cells (AGCs) by analyzing the prevalence and histopathology of AGCs according to cervical cytology. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the demographic characteristics and histopathological outcomes including pathological diagnosis, pathological site, and epithelial distribution of the AGC cases that were diagnosed by cervical cytology. RESULTS: A total of 387 AGC patients with follow-up records were included...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine potential discriminatory characteristics of dermatoscopy and dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) on vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (vHSIL) and lichen sclerosus (LS) compared with healthy vulvar skin. METHODS: A prospective observational clinical trial was performed in 10 healthy volunteers, 5 vHSIL and 10 LS patients. Noninvasive imaging measurements using dermatoscopy and D-OCT were obtained at several time points, including lesional and nonlesional vulvar skin...
