Yes-associated protein-1 overexpression in ocular surface squamous neoplasia; a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target Open
Yes-associated protein-1 (YAP-1) is a Hippo system transcription factor, which serves as an oncogene in squamous cell carcinoma, and several solid tumors when the Hippo pathway is dysregulated. Yet, the activity of YAP-1 in ocular surface …

High-risk human papillomavirus-associated vulvar neoplasia among women living with human immunodeficiency virus in Zambia Open
VSCC was significantly more common among women aged ≥ 40 years. HRHPV in VSCC and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions was high. Women with vulvar lesions, especially those aged > 40 years, should be evaluated for vulvar cancer. You…

Epstein–Barr Virus, But Not Human Papillomavirus, Is Associated With Preinvasive and Invasive Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasias in Zambian Patients Open
Background The etiopathogenesis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is not fully understood. We assessed the frequency of oncogenic viruses in OSSN by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for human papillo…

Recurrent Giant Cell-Rich Osteosarcoma of the Jaw- a Case Report and Review of the Literature Open
Giant cell-rich osteosarcoma of the jaw (JGCRO) is very rare but it is diagnostically important because of its poor prognosis compared to other variants of osteosarcoma. We report a rare case of recurrent JGCRO initially diagnosed as an os…

Post-mortem examination of Hospital Inpatient COVID-19 Deaths in Lusaka, Zambia - A Descriptive Whole-body Autopsy Series Open
A spectrum of gross anatomical and histopathological findings are seen in COVID-19 deaths in hospitalized decedents. These appear broadly similar to those reported from China, Europe and USA. Differences include a younger age group, and co…

Clinical and Pathologic Presentation of Primary Ocular Surface Tumors among Zambians Open
Aim: This study aimed to characterize the clinical and pathologic presentation of ocular surface tumors (OSTs) and to more precisely differentiate the grades of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and benign lesions among Zambians. Me…
