Aging Is Associated With Decreased Lactobacillus and Increased Cervicovaginal Inflammation in Canadian Women. [PDF]

Am J Reprod Immunol
ABSTRACT Problem Aging is characterized by a general dysregulation of systemic immune responses that increases susceptibility to infections and malignancies. Immune cells in the female genital tract (FGT) are regulated by sex hormones, but little is known about the impact of aging and menopause on immunology in the FGT.

P248 Sensitivity of the amsel’s criteria compared to the nugent score in absence and in presence oftrichomonas vaginalis(TV) and/orcandidaSPP among women with symptomatic vaginitis/vaginosis [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2015
Background/introduction In a multicenter clinical trial funded by BD, we observed less accurate clinician diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) based on clinical observations when Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) and/or Candida spp. were also detected by the trial Reference Methods than when only BV was detected.

Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy for vaginal microbiota improvement and pathogen clearance: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 999-1016, June 2026.
Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy shows a modest, non‐robust increase in Group B Streptococcus decolonization, with no consistent benefit for bacterial vaginosis or vulvovaginal candidiasis. Probiotics may serve as a non‐antibiotic adjunct, but standardized regimens and ecological diagnostic frameworks are required.

Frontal Asymmetry in Infancy: Predictive Utility for Distinct Patterns of Temperament

Infant and Child Development, Volume 35, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent theorising has emphasised motivational systems, rather than specific emotional reactions, when interpreting frontal asymmetry. We examined the predictive utility of infant electroencephalogram (EEG) frontal asymmetry during two approach‐oriented tasks within 82 mother‐infant dyads (infant age: M = 38.88 weeks, SD = 8.13 weeks; infant ...
