Vaginal microbiota in healthy women and patients with bacterial vaginosis and nonspecific vaginitis [PDF]

Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease, 2006
According to Russian classification, bacterial vaginosis (BV) and nonspecific vaginitis (NSV) are two different clinical conditions. The vaginal microbiota was evaluated in 200 women (50 healthy pregnant women (HPW) during the first trimester, 100 patients with BV and 50 patients with NSV). The samples received from both healthy women (121 samples) and

Amine content of vaginal fluid from untreated and treated patients with nonspecific vaginitis. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1979
We examined the vaginal washings from patients with nonspecific vaginitis (NSV) to seek biochemical markers and possible explanations for the signs and symptoms of this syndrome. Seven amines were identified including methylamine, isobutylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, and phenethylamine. These amines may contribute to the symptoms

Semiquantitative culture of Gardnerella vaginalis in laboratory determination of nonspecific vaginitis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983
To evaluate the usefulness of quantitative cultures of Gardnerella vaginalis in the laboratory determination of nonspecific vaginitis, the actual and relative numbers of G. vaginalis in genital cultures of a general patient population were assessed semiquantitatively, and the laboratory results were then correlated with the clinical findings.

Extracellular Traps in Patients Diagnosed With Bacterial Vaginosis, Trichomoniasis, Candidiasis, Noninfectious Vaginitis and Cytolytic Vaginosis. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Vaginal infections are a public health problem associated with serious health complications due to the exacerbated inflammation they generate. Vaginal inflammation may also occur in some noninfectious processes, such as noninfectious vaginitis and cytolytic vaginosis.

Guidelines for the purification and characterization of extracellular vesicles of parasites

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Parasites are responsible for the most neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people worldwide (WHO, 2015) and accounting for billions of cases a year and responsible for several millions of deaths. Research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increased in recent years and demonstrated that EVs shed by pathogenic parasites ...

Diagnostic yield of uroendoscopy compared to ultrasonography for evaluating lower urinary tract disorders in dogs

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1700-1707, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Cystourethroscopy and vaginoscopy (uroendoscopy) is often used in the diagnostic evaluation of dogs with lower urinary tract disorders (LUTD). Objective/Hypothesis To evaluate if uroendoscopy is warranted in dogs with various LUTD, the agreement between uroendoscopic and ultrasonographic diagnoses were compared.
