Role of Vaginal and Gut Microbiota in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Progression and Cervical Cancer: A Systematic Review of Microbial Diversity and Probiotic Interventions.

Cervical cancer remains a major global health concern, primarily associated with persistent infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HrHPV) types. Both gut and vaginal microbiome may influence the progression from HPV infection to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer. We performed a systematic review to study the relevant literature on gut and cervical microbiota in patients with HPV infection, CIN, and cervical cancer, as well as the role of probiotics in managing these conditions.

Cost-benefit analysis of a quadrivalent influenza vaccine in India.

Background: In India, influenza presents a significant burden of disease to the population at large. Influenza vaccination is a cost-effective means of preventing the disease, with quadrivalent vaccines providing broader protection against influenza by covering more strains, but generally at a higher list price, than older trivalent vaccines.

Research Design And Methods: Broadly, the economic burden of influenza can be categorized into treatment and productivity costs.

Oocyte Cryopreservation - Current Scenario and Future Perspectives: A Narrative Review.

Oocyte cryopreservation is a boon for women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. With the evolution in the technique of cryopreservation over the last three decades, there has been an exponential rise in the number of oocyte cryopreservation cycles for diverse indications. Apart from cancer patients, it has also been promoted as a mode of fertility insurance to overcome the age-related decline in fertility as well as post-surgical decline following endometriosis surgery.

Hysteroscopic metroplasty in women with primary infertility and septate uterus: reproductive performance after surgery.

Objective: To assess reproductive performance in women with septate uterus and otherwise unexplained infertility after hysteroscopic metroplasty.

Study Design: A total of 72 women with septate uterus and otherwise unexplained primary infertility were included in the study. All of the women underwent hysteroscopic septal resection.

Reproductive performance after hysteroscopic metroplasty in women with primary infertility and septate uterus.

Background: There is enough evidence in the literature to support that removal of septum improves pregnancy rates in women with bad obstetric history. However, its role in patients with otherwise unexplained infertility is still not clear due to paucity of enough evidence.

Objective: To assess reproductive performance in women with septate uterus and otherwise unexplained infertility after hysteroscopic metroplasty.
