Genital Warts and the Human Papilloma Virus
A virus called human papilloma virus causes genital warts. This highly contagious disease and does not have any cure. It is sexually transmitted and affects the genital areas of both men and women. The disease is more common with women than men. The disease causes flat of lumpy growths in the genital areas including the penis, vagina, anus, cervix, etc. many are unaware of the problem at first because the virus sometimes shows itself after along time. The virus has the capability to stay latent for a long time and then make itself visible.
The picture of genital warts is very unpleasant and disgusting. Anybody suffering from this disease must consult a doctor and get proper medical help. Without looking at the picture of the genital warts, the doctor cannot diagnose the problem. The problem may not be genital warts but some other disease with similar symptoms.

New Hope for Diagnosis and Treatment of Intractable Pediatric Brain Tumors
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) arise from undifferentiated brain cells and are the most frequent malignant brain tumors in children. There are different forms of PNETs and, while scientists have made progress in characterizing the genetic abnormalities associated with some PNET subtypes, the highly aggressive cerebral tumors known as CNS-PNETs have been difficult to characterize as they represent a relatively uncommon group of tumors with ill-defined diagnostic features.
“Lack of insight into the molecular pathogenesis of CNS-PNET is a major obstacle towards development of disease-specific models and treatments for these frequently fatal malignancies,” explains senior study author, Dr. Annie Huang from the Hospital for Sick Children in Ontario, Canada. To comprehensively define relevant genetic alterations associated with CNS-PNET, Dr. Huang established international collaborations with colleagues from pediatric oncology centers in Asia, Europe and the United States to complete a sophisticated high resolution genomic screen of a large collection of primary tumors.
