Abstract

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are infections that are transmitted through sexual contact with an infected partner through vaginal, oral and anal sex. STIs can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. LGBT is a group at high risk of contracting STIs, especially syphilis. Syphilis rates increased every year by 28.6% from 2020 to 2021. LGBT people accounted for 47% (18,381) of syphilis cases and (44%) LGBT people who had syphilis also had HIV. This article was written with the aim of finding out more about the molecular biology, phatophysiology and clinical symptoms of syphilis. The method used is a literature review on the NCBI website, Google Scholar, and Research Gate. It can be concluded that syphilis can be cured in the early stages of infection, but if adequate treatment is not received it can become a systemic infection and progress to the latent phase. Syphilis can also increase the risk of transmitting HIV which cannot be cured but can take medication to treat the symptoms. In conclusion, LGBT is a group at high risk of contracting STIs. The reason is, they have different sexual lives in general. The sexual activities carried out are anal sex, oral sex and variations thereof. Anal sex has a potential risk of injury to the anus. Because the anus is not elastic, sexual intercourse carries a risk of injury, so syphilis is more easily transmitted if there is damage to the anal area.

Abstract

Brain tumors are one of the most malignant tumors that occur in humans. It accounts for approximately 1.35% of all malignant neoplasms and 29.5% of cancer deaths. This article was written with the aim of knowing more about molecular biology, phatophysiology, and clinical symptoms of brain tumor. The method used is a literature review combined with a search for related sources from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Google Scholar, and Research Gate. The results of this literature review of the articles carried out can be concluded that brain tumors often cause symptoms of physiological disorders, such as focal signs, fatigue and headaches or behavioral disorders including hallucinations, depression, anxiety, decreased attention and awareness. Brain tumors can also arise spontaneously without a family history or previous genetic inheritance pattern. In conclusion, cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities in brain tumors can be seen in numerical and structural chromosomal changes, gene amplification and overexpression, deletions and small-scale mutations and epigenetic deregulation.
