vaginitis/edema

The model of vaginal candidiasis in Kunming mice was constructed in order to search for the optima construction conditions and provide an economic animal model of Candida albicans (C. albicans) vaginitis. Estrogen benzoate (E2) was given to mice at different concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 0.05

BACKGROUND Vaginitis is the most prevalent gynecological problem for which women look for treatment and is responsible for 10 million physician visits annually. Use of herbal treatments has been recorded in many of patient groups as well as in general populations to increase health level. The

OBJECTIVE To test the recommendation from the Canadian guidelines for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that mucopurulent endocervical discharge and 10 or more polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) per high-power field of a Gram-stained endocervical smear or, when Gram staining is not possible, the

OBJECTIVE We describe here a series of selected patients from an established vaginitis research clinic diagnosed with vulvovestibulitis (VV) who underwent surgical intervention for focal disease. Long-term results of surgical correction are reported and characteristic histopathology findings

OBJECTIVE Neonates are at greater risk for sepsis and meningitis than other ages and in spite of rapid diagnoses of pathogens and treatments, they still contribute to complications and mortality. This study determines risk factors, causes, and neurologic complications of neonatal meningitis in

More studies are needed to assess the long-term safety profile and clinical outcomes of lasers and energy-based devices to treat the symptoms associated with vulvovaginal atrophy. This study evaluated a series of three fractional CO₂ laser

OBJECTIVE To report a case of a possible hypersensitivity reaction induced by metronidazole. METHODS An Asian woman with a history of recurrent vaginitis had previously developed localized erythema while on intravaginal metronidazole and nystatin.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of clinical findings and direct microscopy in the diagnosis of yeast vaginitis. METHODS Prospective. METHODS Urban teaching hospital emergency department and walk-in clinic. METHODS Seventy-one consecutive nonmenstruating women with a presenting complaint of

With the widespread use of azoles, drug resistant Candida albicans strains are increasing. The study examined the synergism of tetrandrine (TET) on ketoconazole (KCZ) candidacidal activity. The protocol M27-A2 of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) was adopted and the minimum

This study aimed to correlate the inflammatory reaction (IR) caused by a progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (P4) with ovarian activity and pregnancy rate (PR) in embryo-recipient anestrus mares (to decrease the spring transitional period). 50 animals were assigned to three groups: GP4 (P4

Four cases of vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis (plasma cell vulvitis) are presented. One case was associated with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and another with a history of desquamative vaginitis. Two patients were postmenopausal, and two were premenopausal. The presenting symptoms were
