Turing patterns from dynamics of early HIV infection over a two-dimensional surface [PDF]
We have developed a mathematical model for in-host virus dynamics that includes spatial chemotaxis and diffusion across a two dimensional surface representing the vaginal or rectal epithelium at primary HIV infection. A linear stability analysis of the steady state solutions identified conditions for Turing instability pattern formation. We have solved

Diagnosis of vaginitis: time to improve and move on
▪ Direct DNA probe assays (e.g., Affirm VIP III) for trichomonas, Candida and Gardnerella for members with symptoms of vaginitis ▪ Measurement of sialidase activity in vaginal fluid (e.g., the BVBlue test) for women with symptoms of vaginitis ▪ Testing ...

A new dominance concept and its application to diversity-stability analysis [PDF]
We introduce a new dominance concept consisting of three new dominance metrics based on Lloyd's (1967) mean crowding index. The new metrics link communities and species, whereas existing ones are applicable only to communities. Our community-level metric is a function of Simpson's diversity index.

A multi-platform metabolomics approach identifies novel biomarkers associated with bacterial diversity in the human vagina [PDF]
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases transmission of HIV, enhances the risk of preterm labour, and its associated malodour impacts the quality of life for many women. Clinical diagnosis primarily relies on microscopy to presumptively detect a loss of lactobacilli and acquisition of anaerobes.

Regarding bacterial vaginosis (BV), the relevance of the vaginal microbiota to the women’s health fulfills a key role, but knowledge gaps regarding aerobic vaginitis (AV) exist. This study aims to characterize vaginal microbiome and its relationship with

Treating vaginitis with probiotics in non-pregnant females: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Vaginitis, also known as vulvovaginitis, is an inflammation of the vagina and vulva and a common disease in females. It is thought to be caused by vaginal dysbiosis and improved by probiotics.
