Human Papillomavirus Prevalence in Asymptomatic Men
… and the distribution of these infections by anogenital anatomic site in men is incomplete. Evaluation of factors associated with HPV infection based on complete anogenital sampling and with HPV-16 antibody detection may lead to a better understanding of HPV transmission and …

Prevalence and incidence of anogenital warts and their association with HIV status and other factors in Kenyan men reporting high-risk sexual behavior, including men who have sex with men (2005-2013)
… incidence, and factors associated with anogenital warts in high-risk African men are largely unknown. Methods: Since 2005, men reporting high-risk sex behavior (having sex with men [MSM], transactional sex, recurrent sexually-transmitted infections [STI], serodiscordant or multiple sex …

Mechanisms driving social structure in Octodon degus
… and female homophily based on masculinization (anogenital distance) in shaping social associations. Nighttime spatial proximity was negatively associated with association strength, indicating that individuals that were closer at night exhibited stronger associations. Female social cohesion …

Pan-Cancer Genomic Characterization of Human Papillomavirus Associated Tumors
… all cervical cancers (CESC), a subset of other anogenital squamous cancers, and increasing rates of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSC), with each cancer type having heterogenous outcomes due to a general lack of personalized care. Large scale genomic analyses have catalogued the …

HPV16 E6* Induces Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage
… all cases of cervical cancer, 50-90% of other anogenital cancers and approximately 30% of oral and pharyngeal cancers. The high-risk types encode two viral oncogenes, E6 and E7, which work together to initiate cell transformation. The approximately 50 amino acid product of the E6* transcript is …

Automated phenotyping of mouse social behavior
… sniffing, nose-to-head sniffing, nose-to-anogenital sniffing, crawl under / crawl over, and upright head contact. These four behaviors are of particular importance to researchers characterizing mouse social avoidance [9]. To effectively phenotype mouse social behavior, the system …

Holstein heifer behaviors and lactating cow nutritional management for improved reproductive performance on dairy farms
… (P < 0.01), chin rest received (P < 0.01), anogenital sniff received (P = 0.02), mount received (P < 0.01), and both initiated and received behaviors for attempt to mount (P < 0.03) occurred more in heifers with large follicles on d 8 and d 10. Dairy operations that have problems with tail …

Investigating the Effects of Vinclozolin on Reproduction in Three Generations of Sigmodon Hispidus
… gonad mass (PGM), paired testes volume (PTV) and anogenital distance. The following significant differences (P<0.05) were noted: the F2 were born in larger litters than the P generation; F2 animals had lower PGM and PTV than the F1 cotton rats; and lower TRM than both the P and F1 generations, and …

Longitudinal Keratinocyte Proliferation Induced by Human Papillomavirus 16E6 and NFX1-123 Partnership
… human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause cervical, anogenital, and head and neck cancers. Despite the availability of preventive HPV vaccines, their poor uptake leaves most men and women at risk for these cancers, many of which remain common globally and others that are increasing domestically. The …

Development and evaluation of a new biochip Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) multi-target for cervical cancer screening
… screening able to detect a large number of HPV anogenital types (HR- and LR-HPV) using two regions of the viral genome (L1 and E6/E7 sequences) as targets. This report also presents the results of a preliminary validation study in preparation for an extended clinical validation of the medical …

Neonatal exposure to estradiol in female rats influences neuroactive steroid concentrations and behaviour in the adult rat
… an increase in body investigation, especially anogenital investigation, characteristic of male appetitive behaviour. On the contrary, neonatal administration of β-estradiol 3-benzoate to female rats increases sensitivity to the anxiolytic, sedative, and amnesic effects of diazepam in adulthood. …

The role of surfaceant protein A in immunity to HPV16 pseudovirus infection
… causative agent for the development of various anogenital cancers, including cervical cancer. Worldwide, the majority of cervical cancer cases occur in less developed regions, and while prophylactic vaccines exist to combat HPV infection, they are largely unattainable in these areas. Therefore, …

The effects of an environmentally relevant phthalate mixture on female reproduction
… increased uterine weight and decreased anogenital distance at early ages, disrupted estrous cyclicity at multiple time points, and induced cystic ovaries at an old age. These observed adverse effects are probably the reason for the observed reduced fertility and increased breeding …

Effects of prenatal androgen exposure on postnatal growth, estrous cyclicity and behavior in female beef cattle
… normally appearing female external genitalia. Anogenital distances for the heifers in groups 2 and 3 were similar to those of the control heifers. Androgen exposure during the three periods of gestation did not affect age at puberty (P<.80), estrous cycle length (P<.63) or postnatal growth …

Human Papillomavirus Infections and Human Papillomavirus Associated Diseases in Nigeria: Distribution, Determinants and Control
… my findings on the prevalence and incidence of anogenital warts in Nigeria, with additional reports on the prevalence of cervical cancer and other HPV associated cancers using data from two population based cancer registries. Finally, I present my findings on the acceptability of innovative …

The incidence and impact of Human Papillomavirus in HIV infected transplant patients
… associated with condylomata acuminata, anogenital squamous intraepithelial lesions, and ultimately invasive squamous cell carcinoma. HPV types 16 and 18 are the most common subtypes in individuals with cervical cancer. The association with these two subtypes in individuals with squamous …

Altered Vulvar Microbiomes in Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus
… dermatosis that most commonly affects the anogenital region of postmenopausal women. VLS etiology is incompletely understood, though a role for immune system dysregulation has been suggested given associations with autoimmune disease. The skin microbiome plays an important role in cutaneous …

Optimization and characterisation of plant produced Human Papillomavirus pseudovirions in Nicotiana benthamiana
… papillomavirus (HPV) is known to be the cause of anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers as well as genital and common warts. There are currently three prophylactic virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccines. These vaccines, however, do not offer protection against all HPV strains and cannot act …

Intergenerational and Transgenerational Effects of Endocrine Insults
… detection of n-propyl paraben and shorter anogenital distance (a marker of intrauterine androgen activity). Next, I investigated inter- and transgenerational effects of EDCs in mice by exposing pregnant/lactating females to BPA and phenotyping their patrilineal F1-F3 offspring. I observed …
