External Acoustic Meatus Approach for Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Temporomandibular Joint: An Anatomical Validation and Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) represent a public health problem, affecting 31% of adults and the elderly and 11% of children and adolescents. Interest is growing in using ultrasound to evaluate the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, researchers need to standardize a reliable method.

Vaginal bacteria-derived extracellular vesicles diffuse through human cervicovaginal mucus to enable microbe-host signaling

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
The composition of the vaginal microenvironment has significant implications for gynecologic and obstetric outcomes. Where a Lactobacillus-dominated microenvironment is considered optimal, a polymicrobial environment is associated with increased risk for

Vaginal evisceration related to genital prolapse in premenopausal woman

International Brazilian Journal of Urology
Background Vaginal evisceration is a rare problem, usually related to a previous hysterectomy. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the cul-de-sac in a premenopausal woman under treatment with glucocorticoids to treat Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (

Maternal and Neonatal Complications Associated with Breast Cancer Systemic Treatments—A VigiBase Disproportionality Analysis Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pregnancy‐associated breast cancer (PrBC) presents therapeutic challenges. Understanding maternal–fetal safety of systemic anticancer therapies is critical. We performed a case/non‐case disproportionality analysis using the WHO global pharmacovigilance database up to January 2024, to evaluate maternal–fetal outcomes associated with breast cancer (BC ...

Long-term impact of acyclovir suppressive therapy on genital and plasma HIV RNA in Tanzanian women: a randomized controlled trial.

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) suppressive therapy reduces genital and plasma human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA over periods up to 3 months, but the long-term effect is unknown.

Urogenital Infection Risk Associated With SGLT2 Inhibitors Versus DPP‐4 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Nationwide Target Trial Emulation

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Although sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), concerns regarding urogenital infections persist. Therefore, we evaluated the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) and genital tract infection (GTI) after SGLT2i initiation in this population ...

Evaluating Vaginal Microbiome Effects on Antiretroviral Exposure in the Female Genital Tract Using Pharmacometric and Machine Learning Approaches

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Antiretroviral pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is less effective in women than expected, partly because drug exposure within the female genital tract is variable and may be influenced by the vaginal microbiome. We developed an integrated pharmacometrics and machine learning framework to evaluate associations between vaginal microbiome composition and ...

Vaginal microbiota and viral sexually transmitted diseases.

, 2013
Healthy vaginal microbiota is an important biological barrier to pathogenic microorganisms. When this predominantly Lactobacillus community is disrupted, decreased in abundance and replaced by different anaerobes, bacterial vaginosis (BV) may occur.
