Can recurrence of cervical cancer be predicted by human papillomavirus DNA in nodes or plasma?
Human papillomavirus DNA can be detected in lymph nodes even when they are not obviously involved by tumor metastasis. This study did not show plasma or lymph node HPV DNA to be a prognostic marker.
In a multiethnic population free of CVD at baseline, lowest sphericity was a predictor of incident CHD, CVD and HF over a 10-year follow-up period. Extreme sphericity was a strong predictor of incident HF and AF. SVI improved risk prediction models beyond established risk factors only for HF, but not for all CVD or CHD.
