The word roots mean 'pointed wart' (from Greek κόνδυλος 'knuckle', Greek -ωμα -oma 'disease', and Latin acuminatum 'pointed'). Although similarly named, it is not the same as condyloma latum, which is a complication of secondary ...
Giant condyloma acuminatum (also known as a Buschke–Löwenstein tumor [1]) is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by an aggressive, wart-like growth that is a verrucous carcinoma. [2]: 409 It is attributed to human papillomavirus. [3] Due to their size, these tumors can be locally invasive and destructive.
Surgeons, including urologists and/or anyone in the room, are subject to HPV infection by inhalation of noxious viral particles during electrocautery or laser ablation of a condyloma (wart). [106] There has been a case report of a laser surgeon who developed extensive laryngeal papillomatosis after providing laser ablation to patients with ...
Warts are very common, with most people being infected at some point in their lives. [2] The estimated current rate of non-genital warts among the general population is 1–13%. [1] They are more common among young people. [1] Prior to widespread adoption of the HPV vaccine, the estimated rate of genital warts in sexually active women was 12%. [5]
The cause of CIN is chronic infection of the cervix with HPV, especially infection with high-risk HPV types 16 or 18. It is thought that the high-risk HPV infections have the ability to inactivate tumor suppressor genes such as the p53 gene and the RB gene, thus allowing the infected cells to grow unchecked and accumulate successive mutations, eventually leading to cancer.
Obstetric ultrasonography, or prenatal ultrasound, is the use of medical ultrasonography in pregnancy, in which sound waves are used to create real-time visual images of the developing embryo or fetus in the uterus (womb).
Severe pre-eclampsia involves a BP over 160/110 (with additional signs). It affects 5–8% of pregnancies. [20] Eclampsia – seizures in a pre-eclamptic patient, affect around 1.4% of pregnancies. [21] Gestational hypertension can develop after 20 weeks but has no other symptoms, and later rights itself, but it can develop into pre-eclampsia. [22]
Signs and symptoms of pregnancy are common, benign conditions that result from the changes to the body that occur during pregnancy. Signs and symptoms of pregnancy typically change as pregnancy progresses, although several symptoms may be present throughout. Depending on severity, common symptoms in pregnancy can develop into complications. [1]
