Warts are actually benign tumors of the epidermis caused by a virus. The virus responsible is the human papillomavirus (HPV), a double-stranded DNA virus. The virus resides in the bottom layer of the epidermis and replicates into almost normal-looking skin. Different sub-types of HPV cause different types of warts. Some human papillomavirus subtypes ... cause cervical cancer and other more obscure types of wart-related cancers.
The type of surgery used to remove warts depends on their type, location, and size. Curettage, electrosurgery, and laser surgery are more likely than cryotherapy to leave scars and ... are usually reserved for hard-to-remove or recurring warts. If you have a large area of warts, curettage may not be an effective treatment.
The "WARTS" application is a database utility that goes through all of the columns in one or more tables in one or more database schemas generating a report on those columns that contain "high bits" in character data. A high bit is a byte that has the 8th bit set, and this generally indicates the presence of characters in a non-ascii encoding such as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. The application scans data in columns of type CHAR, VARCHAR, and CLOB.
There are several different lasers used for the treatment of warts. Laser therapy is used to destroy some types of warts. Lasers are more expensive and require the injection of a local anesthesia to numb the area treated.
