Background: In the process of detecting cervical cancer, cytology and HPV genotype screening both play a significant part. More researches are required to determine whether or not multiple HPV genotyping can accurately predict cytological abnormalities. Methods: A total of 696 female individuals were subjected to analysis for cytology and HPV genotype testing. HPV-DNA, smear and final pathology results of these patients and the relationship between them were investigated using statistical methods. Results: Cytological data indicating abnormalities were seen in a total of 110 subjects. HPV-16 was determined to be the most prevalent variety among the patients, and HPV-16-positive females were found to have an elevated risk of cervical lesions. HPV 16 infection rates were substantially increased in patients with HSIL and higher lesions. Conclusion: An infection caused by HPV-16 is a major risk factor for cervical lesions. A test that examines many HPV genotypes may be able to predict cytological problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We aimed to investigate the video game habits and their relationship with home environment in children 2–5 years in Turkey. A structured questionnaire about the child's demographic, screen, and video gaming characteristics was completed by parents in five health centers from three provinces. One-quarter of 1245 preschoolers were found to play video games. The prevalence of playing video games was higher in older age, male gender, low parental education, families with 3 or more children, having a game console, computers and tablets at home, child's screen time of more than 2 hours per day, child's non-compliance with the parental screen rules, and presence of someone else playing videogame at home. Of the parents, 54.5% did not know the name of the video game the child was playing. Parents should be counseled about supervising on their children's video game playing habits and selection of well-designed games with the right content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Young children and preschoolers are now growing up in settings filled with a variety of technological devices. Despite the recommendation that parents should limit screen time, many preschoolers are exposed to screens at very early ages and for a long time. This study aimed to investigate the associations between parenting styles and the excessive screen time of preschool-aged children. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included preschool children with low screen exposure (<1 hour; n=176) and excessive screen exposure (>4 hours; n=74). A self-completion-structured survey form and Parent Attitude Scale were filled by the mothers. Results: More than half (52.0%) of them were male children. Increased number of children, increased household sizes, mothers being unemployed, birth order ≥2, and home-based care were found to be statistically significantly higher in the excessive screen exposure group than in the low screen exposure group. Mothers and fathers in the excessive screen exposure group had lower educational levels compared with their counterparts in the low screen exposure group (p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that mothers' high authoritative (democratic) scores were associated with low screen exposure(adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.3; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1-0.9). High overprotective and permissive parenting subscale scores were related to excessive screen exposure after adjusting potential confounders (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI: 1.1-6.7; AOR: 4.5, 95% CI: 1.8-11.6). Conclusion: Excessive screening time may indicate a problematic parent-child relationship. Establishing a positive parent-child relationship can be an effective way of managing screen time in preschool children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Early childhood screen exposure leads to multiple adverse health events and parents have a major influence on their children's screen time. Our aim was to determine the association between maternal acceptance-rejection/control behaviours and excessive screen exposure in pre-school children.Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, children aged 2-5 years who had daily screen time <1 h (n = 76) and >4 h (n = 62) were enrolled. A structured survey form and Parental Acceptance-Rejection/Control Questionnaire were completed by mothers.Results: Total rejection scores were found to be lower in those with screen time <1 h than cases with >4 h (82.7 ± 13.2, 89.3 ± 17.2; P = 0.015). In addition, higher hostility, neglect and reverse-affection scores were detected in excessive screen-exposed group (P = 0.033, P = 0.003, P = 0.047, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that mothers' low acceptance of their children and high neglect score were associated with excessive screen exposure after adjusting possible confounding factors. The undifferentiated rejection and control behaviours of the mothers had no association with excessive screen exposure.Conclusion: Children with excessive screen time may have a problematic relationship with their mothers. The relationship between parent and child should be examined and corrective actions should be taken. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A 46-year-old woman was referred to gynecology for the assessment and treatment of an anterior vaginal wall cyst. The preoperative physical examination and transvaginal USG of the pelvis were most consistent with the presence of a bladder cyst. Following the excision of the cyst wall, the patient was diagnosed with an endometrioma in the anterior part of the vagina. This case emphasizes difficulties in the identification of endometriosis in the vagina and other uncommon places, potential processes of disease progression, and recommended therapies.
