“…It has been shown that folate deficiency is a cocarcinogen for the development of dysplastic lesions of the cervix (52) and that a high level of folate has a protective significance in the initiation stage of HPV-related dysplasia (53,54). This hypothesis is confirmed by our study results indicating that the level of folic acid is the lowest in the group of patients with dysplasia associated with HPV (55).…”

The studies were carried out in a group of 228 female patients with normal cytological smear and 324 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The applied method of human papillomavirus (HPV) identification, i.e., the HPV digene hybrid capture system, made it possible to select a control group consisting of 168 HPV-negative patients with normal Papanicolaou smears, as well as a group of 228 HPV-positive female patients with CIN. By examining the diet of the patients, it was shown that women with cervical dysplasia associated with high oncogenic risk of HPV infections consumed a smaller quantity of foods containing vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folacin. Our studies indicate a relationship between nutritional habits and the development of CIN associated with HPV infection.

All words of the languages we know are stored in the mental lexicon. Psycholinguistic models describe in which format lexical knowledge is stored and how it is accessed when needed for language use. The present article summarizes key findings in spoken‐word recognition by humans and describes how models of spoken‐word recognition account for them. Although current models of spoken‐word recognition differ considerably in the details of implementation, there is general consensus among them on at least three aspects: multiple word candidates are activated in parallel as a word is being heard, activation of word candidates varies with the degree of match between the speech signal and stored lexical representations, and activated candidate words compete for recognition. No consensus has been reached on other aspects such as the flow of information between different processing levels, and the format of stored prelexical and lexical representations.

Diet may act as a cofactor in the development of cancer of the cervix. A consistent correlation exists between low tissue concentrations, low serum level, and low intake of vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin C, or folic acid and an increased prevalence of cervical neoplasia. A moderate effect is seen in clinical trials with vitamin treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias. The studies reviewed here were not consistent especially in the choice of controls and methods for the assessment of dietary and confounding factors. Proper morphologic identification of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was not always achieved. Longitudinal and prospective cohort studies using more reliable methods for diet monitoring may be valuable for future research in this field.
