Journal ArticleDOI

Natural history of cervical human papillomavirus infection in young women: a longitudinal cohort study

TL;DR: The findings suggest that attempts to exploit the association between cervical neoplasia and HPV infection to improve effectiveness of cervical screening programmes might be undermined by the limited inferences that can be drawn from the characterisation of a woman's HPV status at a single point in time, and the short lead time gained by its detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The association of an HPV16 oncogene variant with HLA-B7 has implications for vaccine design in cervical cancer.

TL;DR: A biologically relevant mechanism for escape from immune surveillance of HPV16 in HLA-B7 individuals is identified and both HLA type and HPV16 strain variation need to be considered in the screening of at-risk individuals and for the rational design of anti-HPV vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virus-directed enzyme prodrug therapy : intratumoral administration of a replication-deficient adenovirus encoding nitroreductase to patients with resectable liver cancer

TL;DR: Direct intratumoral inoculation of CTL102 to patients with primary and secondary liver cancer is feasible and well tolerated and the high level of nitroreductase expression observed at 1 to 5 x 10(11) virus particles mandates further studies in patients with inoperable tumors who will receive CTL 102 and CB1954.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eye disease associated with handling pet tarantulas: three case reports

TL;DR: Three cases of ocular injury from urticarious hairs of tarantulas are described, with the main findings of multiple fine intracorneal hairs with an associated keratoconjunctivitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene therapy and cement injection for restabilization of loosened hip prostheses.

TL;DR: Data show that this gene therapy approach targeted at the interface membrane around a loosened hip prosthesis is a feasible treatment option for elderly patients for whom surgical intervention is not appropriate.
