A diet rich in cholesterol during early pregnancy and genetic variations of cholesterol metabolism genes both contribute to the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), suggests a study.

A prospective study in women attending a colposcopy clinic in Hong Kong supports the use of self-sampling with an isothermal amplification (AmpFire)–based assay for human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in cervical cancer screening, showing substantial agreement with clinician sampling using either the AmpFire-based or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based reference assay.

Detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) after completion of chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is independently associated with inferior progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with cervical cancer, a prospective multicentre study has shown. According to the researchers, early HPV ctDNA testing after CRT can identify patients at high risk of relapse.

Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at higher risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), suggests a recent study.
