Prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus infection and cervical lesions among female migrant head porters (kayayei) in Accra, Ghana
In this relatively young cohort with a high hr-HPV positivity rate of 33.3% and 8.3% of women showing cervical lesions on visual inspection, we posit that kayayei may have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer if their accessibility to cervical precancer screening services is not increased
Concurrent HPV DNA testing and a visual inspection method for cervical precancer screening
Cytology-based cervical cancer screening programs have been difficult to implement and scale up in developing countries. Thus, the World Health Organization recommends a ‘see and treat’ approach by way of hr-HPV testing and visual inspection. We aimed to evaluate concurrent HPV DNA testing and visual inspection in a real-world low-resource setting by comparing the detection rates of concurrent visual inspection with dilute acetic acid (VIA) or mo…
Evaluating operational parameters of the careHPV, GeneXpert, AmpFire, and MA-6000 HPV systems for cervical precancer screening
In response to calls by the World Health Organization for cervical precancer screening services in low-resource settings to lean toward HPV DNA testing, a number of testing platforms have been made available. This study aimed to evaluate the operational parameters of four HPV testing systems in previous ( care HPV) and current (GeneXpert, AmpFire, and MA-6000) use in a secondary healthcare setting in terms of ‘appropriateness’, ease of use, throu…
Factors associated with late presentation of cervical cancer cases at a district hospital
Lack of previous screening was associated with late presentation of cervical cancer at Catholic Hospital, Battor. Efforts to promote early cervical cancer screening should be intensified and future studies may explore an association with age at menarche
A Reformulation of the Polygyny-Fertility Hypothesis
Over the last few years the effect of polygyny on fertility has drawn an extensive amount of research. However, much of the literature that addresses the polygyny-fertility hypothesis has methodological and conceptual problems. The original polygyny-fertility hypothesis overestimates the effect of polygyny on fertility because of the assumption that current marital status accounts for the fertility of women. This paper reformulates the polygyny-f…
